Outdated Tutorials?

[Clipz]

I decided to give modding a go, after being a long time lurker. So I visited the Wiki and followed the very first tutorial there (http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Modding_Tutorials/Getting_Started). After much failure, I wondered if the problem wasn't me but the tutorial, so I downloaded the tutorial files and plopped those into my mods folder, unsurprisingly enough, it didn't work (" you can download a zip archive here" - contains a link to the tutorial and a pre-made example of what you're going to create.)

I've attached an image of the console errors.

I'm just assuming that the tutorial is outdated now, if so, is there any up-to-date tutorials on modding, or any help anyone can offer?

Yehh its outdated.
For each current version best tourtial is to go into Mods/Core/Defs/ThingDefs/ and read .xml files there to see what and how works

Thanks for the reply and yeah, that's what I've been doing.

I encountered the same problem when I went to make my first mod. Those tutorials should be taken down even if nobody is going to update them. What helped me most was looking at the simple mods on the forum and figuring out what they changed from the core mod files. It really is far more simple than it seems to be at first. Most of it is just copy-pasting stuff from the core mod and then changing the details a bit.

It is pretty misleading to just leave them there. Anyway, I'll give what you said a try, thanks!
