First of all this is the best mod ever made and the only one i use ingame.I wanted to customize an orb, how do i go about it?Can you make a quick bullet point on the files that i would need to edit in order to accomplish this?If you don't have time ignore this.Thanks for the best mod made for starbound imo!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! It depends on what it is that you'd like to customize. The main file defining each magnorb set is in ExpandedMagnorbs/magnorbs/[setname]/[setname].activeitem. Most of the properties in that file is pretty clearly named, but certain things may require changing more files elsewhere, like if you change the orb total you'd need to make changes to the .animation file as well, for example (so in this case it would probably be easiest to start with a set that has the amount you want).

I don't know how familiar you are with this in general, so I'll say this as well: if you want to modify the mod files, you'll need to install the mod manually by placing it in the mods directory rather than using the workshop. The easiest way to do this would be to download from this repo, make sure to unzip it, and place it such that the location of the readme files looks like: steamapps\common\Starbound\mods\az-expandedmagnorbs\readme.md

This way you can modify the files as you'd like. You could even add entirely new sets, but that may be slightly difficult for someone unfamiliar with modding. Feel free to let me know what you'd like to do specifically and I'll see what I can do.
