You can either add a layer directly in the layers object in <a href="/js/layerSupport.js">layerSupport.js</a>, or declare it in another file and register it by calling <code>addLayer(layername, layerdata)</code>. There is an example layer registration in <a href="/js/layers.js">layers.js</a> showing the recommended method. It is just an example and can be freely deleted. You can also use it as a reference or a base for your own layers.</p><p>The first thing you need to do is fill out the modInfo object at the top of <a href="/js/mod.js">mod.js</a> to set your mod&#39;s name, ID (a string), and other information. A unique modId will prevent your mod&#39;s saves from conflicting with other mods. Note that changing this after people have started playing will reset their saves.</p><p>Most of the time, you won&#39;t need to dive deep into the code to create things, but you still can if you really want to, for example to add new Vue components in <a href="/js/v.js">v.js</a>.</p><p>The Modding Tree uses <a href="https://github.com/Patashu/break_eternity.js" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">break_eternity.js</a> to store large values. This means that many numbers are <code>Decimal</code> objects, and must be treated differently. For example, you have to use <code>new Decimal(x)</code> to create a <code>Decimal</code> value instead of a plain number, and perform operations on them by calling functions. e.g, instead of <code>x = x + y</code>, use <code>x = x.add(y)</code>. Keep in mind this also applies to comparison operators, which should be replaced with calling the <code>.gt</code>, <code>.gte</code>, <code>.lt</code>, <code>.lte</code>, <code>.eq</code>, and <code>.neq</code> functions. See the <a href="https://github.com/Patashu/break_eternity.js" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">break_eternity.js</a> docs for more details on working with <code>Decimal</code> values.</p><p>Almost all values can be either a constant value, or a dynamic value. Dynamic values are defined by putting a function that returns what the value should be at any given time.</p><p>All display text can use basic HTML elements (But you can&#39;t use most Vue features there).</p><p>While reading this documentation, the following key will be used when describing features:</p><ul><li>No label: This is required and the game may crash if it isn&#39;t included.</li><li><strong>sometimes required</strong>: This is may be required, depending on other things in the layer.</li><li><strong>optional</strong>: You can leave this out if you don&#39;t intend to use that feature for the layer.</li><li><strong>assigned automagically</strong>: This value will be set automatically and override any value you set.</li><li><strong>deprecated</strong>: This feature is not recommended to be used anymore, and may be removed in future versions of TMT.</li></ul><h2 id="table-of-contents" tabindex="-1">Table of Contents <a class="header-anchor" href="#table-of-contents" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Table of Contents&quot;">​</a></h2><h3 id="general" tabindex="-1">General <a class="header-anchor" href="#general" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;General&quot;">​</a></h3><ul><li><a href="./getting-started">Getting Started</a>: Getting your own copy of the code set up with Github Desktop.</li><li><a href="./main-mod-info">Main mod info</a>: How to set up general things for your mod in <a href="/js/mod.js">mod.js</a>.</li><li><a href="./basic-layer-breakdown">Basic layer breakdown</a>: Breaking down the components of a layer with minimal feature
