Here are some handy tips in the for finding files for modding! All you need to do these things is a basic text editor, like Notepad++. We recommend Notepad++ over regular Notepad as .yaml has very particular formatting that can be difficult to see in regular Notepad. You can download Notepad++ for free here.
Also, note - you will have to restart the game in order for any changes you make to take effect.
- Go to this location in your file explorer:
…\PhantomBrigade\Configs\Data\Settings
- Open debug.yaml
- Change "developerMode" to "true" and save
- Currently, to access debug tools in the game you can use Numpad 9 in combat, the base, and the overworld. In combat, you can also find some tools under Numpad 8.
- Go to this location in your file explorer:
C:\Users\local-username\AppData\Local\PhantomBrigade\
- All your save files will be listed in the "Saves" folder
- Go to this location in your file explorer:
C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\Brace Yourself Games
- log.yaml will be found in the "Phantom Brigade" folder
- Go to this location in your file explorer:
...\PhantomBrigade\Configs\DataDecomposed\Equipment\Liveries
- Each livery has its own file. To create new ones: Copy any of the default files
- Change the name to whatever you like (it’s important that the name is only lowercase, with no spaces)
- Edit the colour values inside the file to whatever you like!
- Go to this location in your file explorer: ...\PhantomBrigade\Configs\Data\Settings\simulation.yaml
and change this line: activeSquadLimit: 4
- Additionally, you will need to make sure that all maps have enough spawn points on them.
Go to ...\PhantomBrigade\Configs\DataDecomposed\Combat\Scenarios and search for the line squadSize: 4 and change it to the same number you set in the previous step.
