Apologies for the late response on updating my mod to A18 but life and paid work took over.

How do I update it? I seem to remember the last update being easy where I just updated it in my mod folder and then used the in-game mod manager to upload it. Now I can't seem to find anywhere in steam or rimworld to upload...

go into the about folder change the targetVersion to the current version. then you may or may not have errors which will have to be addressed. and if you don't have the folder in your rim world folder. you will have to open your steam workshop folder and find your mod 933008442. on my pc the steam workshop folder is here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\933008442

I was bored so I went through and changed everything to be B18 compatible did not change any values just got it to a point where there are no errors (did not do any testing)

You will want to Upload it in game.

Check that:
- You are running the Steam Version of Rimworld.
- Rimworld is in Dev Mode.
- You have a "PublishedFileId.txt" in your about Folder, this is what Rimworld uses to know what mod it is to Update and not a new mod. You can get it from Downloading the steam version.
-You may have to have the mod installed manually, not the steam version to update the Steam version (I have not checked that but I usually upload from a manual install version.)

Those are some good points

Update to A18 on Steam! They changed a lot of variables to be case-sensitive and I hard a hard time trying to get Steam to let me update it. Apparently, I had to to copy the mod from D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\933008442 to D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\933008442 to be able to update it from within the game.'

Will update the GitHub and ludeon forum version ASAP.
