Planning Harvest Moon mod

[Chamsey]

Hi, i'm new to this fourm.

 

I'm planning on making a Harvest Moon mod for Don't Starve, in the same vain as Friends of Mineral Town. I'm not that fimiliar with lua, but I am very intrested in learning.

 

The mod would consist of a predefined map, a big field to plant and harvest from, a money system, a town with NPCs, Animals to tend to, and possibly a relationship system.

 

What would you guys suggest I check out to learn how to make a predetermined map? Are there any good tutorials, or already existing mods that I can look through that show how to make the same map over and over, with props and all?

 

I know that what i'm doing seems massive and difficult, but i'm gonna take baby steps and really learn what's goes into this.
