but how do you edit base game data? im trying to make a mod that doesn't add anything but changes gameplay mechanics to make it more forgiving.
i just tried to change the goals on cursed items to remove permanency but i cant get anything to stick.
Kind of a late reply, but you can override it in your own mod. First create your own mod, then locate the item (or moves, scripts, textures, etc). Say you want to override a parasite, locate the parasite in Data Editor, copy the entire row to your own mod, make sure it has the same directory, make sure the ID is still the same, change the column you wish to change, and it should do the trick.
