Better Mart Simulator · published · build 24990967
We've worked hard on the modding tool to add many additional features for modders. The tool is now officially at version 1.0 and will continue to evolve based on community feedback.
To discover all its new features, you can download the update and check the README.txt file. You can also join our Discord server and select the "Modder" role in the dedicated channel. This way you'll be notified of every project update and can get help or ask questions.
