### Stellaris Mod Folder Structure Example

Source: https://fatalerrorjp.github.io/stellaris_infomations/guides/create-species.html/guides/getting-started-with-mod

This snippet illustrates a typical folder structure for a Stellaris mod, showing the placement of 'situations', 'events', and 'localisation' files within the 'common' directory. This structure is crucial for the game to correctly locate and load mod assets.

```Stellaris Modding Config
common
├situations
│└pirate_situations.txt
├events
│├pirate_situation_events.txt
│└pirate_1_events.txt
└localisation
　└pirate_situation_l_japanese.yml
```

### Stellaris Modding: Event Definition Overwriting Example

Source: https://fatalerrorjp.github.io/stellaris_infomations/guides/create-species.html/guides/getting-started-with-mod

These snippets demonstrate how event definitions with the same 'id' (e.g., 'pirate.1') can be overwritten. The first block shows a base game event from 'pirate_events.txt', and the second shows a mod's event definition from 'pirate_1_events.txt' that overrides it due to loading order rules (later loaded files in 'events' directory take precedence).

```Stellaris Modding Config
# Example code from base game's "events\pirate_events.txt"
country_event = {
	id = pirate.1
	title = "pirate.1.name"
	picture = GFX_evt_pirate_armada
	show_sound = event_space_battle
	location = event_target:pirate_system
~ Omitted ~
}
```

```Stellaris Modding Config
# Example code from mod's "events\pirate_1_events.txt"
country_event = {
	id = pirate.1              # ← This duplicated ID means it's treated as the same definition
	hide_window = yes
	is_triggered_only = yes
~ Omitted ~
}
```

### Stellaris Mod Descriptor File with Dependencies

Source: https://fatalerrorjp.github.io/stellaris_infomations/guides/create-species.html/guides/getting-started-with-mod

This snippet shows the content of a 'descriptor.mod' file, highlighting the 'dependencies' field. This field specifies other mods that this mod relies on, ensuring they are loaded in a specific order, overriding the user's play-set load order.

```Stellaris Modding Config
version="1.0.0"
dependencies={
	"[代理公開]F17 VOICEROID Portraits"
}
tags={
	"Graphics"
	"Leaders"
	"Species"
	"Fixes"
}
name="[Fix Patch]F17 VOICEROID Portraits"
