Originally posted by Soren Johnson on the Mohawk Games blog.   Modding support has been a priority for us at Mohawk Games, and we built Offworld Trading Company to support mods that could not just change the game values (via XML) but also the C# code itself. Jason Winokur, the programmer in charge of mod support, has recorded three tutorial videos to help guide prospective modders.
