Tips & notes

Keep these quick hints handy when you wander through formats and workflows.

Each .era file holds different types of content, and every map has its own bundle. You can extract just the map you want to tweak or dump them all together for a full modding base.

Always back up your raw .mma assets before running the bundler. Overwriting the default cache can break an entire release if the wrong hash is pushed.

Haruspis logs link directly to the workspace path. Use the Diagnostics menu to open the log folder with a single click and avoid hunting through hidden directories.
