How do you make mods?

[Zeldagamer809]

I don't really know how to make a custom mod, so I am wondering where I can make a custom mod without downloading a lot of stuff.

This is a decent place to start:

I have not made any myself but I have moved your question to the place where others have and may be able to help. Good luck.

There're really many different ways, it will depend on what you are planning to do.

• You want change something on the game mechanics (like SystemHeat)?
• Do you want to add some visuals (like Distant Object)?
• Do you want to make a new Planet or perhaps a whole Solar System?
• Plan to create new parts?
• Or perhaps just change some of them?
• Want some new convenience  utility like UbioWelding? 
• Perhaps new buildings or launching places around Kerbin (and beyound)?

You see, depending from what you want to do, you will have to learn different things.

Some of then are common to all options, as writing configs and patches.  But some others are pretty task specific.

Let us know what you intend to do.
