	'''Mods''' are user-created game content that ~~provides~~ additional functionality, animals, or behavior to the game. The game was built from the ground up to support mods - over half the code is exposed and can be freely modified by a mod developer (or player).

	There are two types of mods - '''World mods''' and '''App Mods'''. '''World Mods''' affect in-game things like world generation, or adding new types of animals or behaviors. These mods are installed, but need to specifically be enabled for the worlds you want to use them in (more on this in the instructions.) By far the greatest number of mods are world mods. '''App Mods''' are for more basic look and feel, UI, and translations where you want the mod to modify something game-wide. The majority of App mods you will see in the Workshop are the translation mods.		There are two types of mods - '''World mods''' and '''App Mods'''.
