Useful c# Modding Diagram re: Thing/ThingDef/ThingWithComps/etc.

I'm starting to put what I'm learning about c# modding into a wiki. There aren't a lot of comprehensive guides out there. This link was some especially hard-fought knowledge. Hope it helps someone. Feedback and comments are welcome (especially regarding things that are incorrect).

The main wiki starts here:

cheers!

I like the way StackOverflow.com presents knowledge in their Q & A forums.

A suggestion could be isolate what a page is going to teach, discuss that subject, and give two or three differing examples of using that knowledge in code.

Well, a new reddit group could do this, to some extend. You could also propose a new StackOverflow site here:
   https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/76974/how-can-i-propose-a-new-site

I agree though. I would like something less formal than a wiki. Many things in modding are 'gotchas'. After seeing people post the gotchas, a better wiki and documentation could be built!

I personally prefer the modding discord (or slack way back when) because a wiki page will never be able to continue explaining when you still don't get it while other modders can.

It also won't get more informal than that.
