I like to code quite a bit in my spare time, and I know two / three coding languages rather well, only problem is, I've come to FTL and been stumped on how to make a mod for this game.
Could anyone teach me how to make a basic mod, and possibly show me how to add it to my game?

You don't really program anything for this game, it's all XML definition.
Your skills may help automate certain tasks though!

Making a batch file to 'cat' a bunch of xml files into a blueprints.xml.append or events.xml.append is handy for organising your custom definitions without having them in one big file.
I like the sheer quantity of tools coming out of this game. Most communities latch onto the first one, but ftl modding is so data-only that there are hundreds of ways of editing them

now if the devs would release xsd files for thier types, we could really cook with gas ;D
