How do I start making a mod?

[Outsoldier]

I have looked everywhere and all the videos are like from 5 years ago. I know that you need a 3 modeling engine which is blender (for me) and unity.  Can maybe an experienced Modder or anyone please tell me how to get started?

Depends very much on what sort of mod you are trying to make, but based on your comments about blender - I'll assume parts:

Beale's tutorial is pretty much the gold standard:

Alternatively, if you are looking to write a plugin:

 

 

The only thing I'll say for the plugin one - is that it will tell you to use .Net 3.5 - that's outdated information, use 4.x instead.

I'm not a part modder (I write plugins) - but as you quoted me, I'll say what little I know.

Isn't it just a case of making the part as you did with the engine/fuel tank and add ModuleCommand to it in the cfg file?
