NOTE: The terms "folder" and "directory" are used interchangeably, but they mean the same thing.

1. Ensure you have installed the latest 0.6.x release of MelonLoader separately already and run the game with it at least once. MelonLoader does not come provided with this repository.
2. Clone this repository into an empty directory.
3. Create a file called game_dir.txt at the root of the cloned repository (the folder that contains CementMod) and write the path to your Gang Beasts folder (or Staging folder) in it.
4. Open the solution in your preferred C# IDE (VS Code, Visual Studio, Rider, etc) and run dotnet restore in the terminal. This should copy all needed references from your game directory and vanquish a bunch of missing reference errors.
5. Make your changes. Make sure to commit often, as too many breaking changes in one commit can cause problems. Read up on Git fundamentals to learn more about how to contribute seamlessly.
6. Building & Testing: Once you've made your changes, you need to make sure things work before you submit a PR. It should be as simple as going into the root of the repository again in a terminal and calling dotnet build. Build events should take the built files and put them in their needed places in your game directory for testing.
