Version 1.1.9813 Released!

We have now made it a lot easier to create and use Mods in Windforge. There is a data extractor packaged with the game now that will give you complete access to all of the game’s data. We’ve also changed things so that your changed files will take priority over the ones in our data files. This will allow you to use mods by copying files to your data folder.

For more information on how to use these new features, please refer to our forums.
