Saving/Loading data in a savegame

[whismerhill]

Hi,

I've been scouring the forums & trying to find stuff about saving/loading mechanisms in don't starve mods. I have worked on several projects of mine. So far I managed to save "level" data inside custom character prefabs

However I have two different projects where there's pretty much just a modmain.lua. So I've been trying to create a dummy component in the player prefab to save the data I need to. So far I fail utterly, at this point I'm not even sure of what I should do at all. Is there a tutorial about this somewhere ?

I found a tutorial about "Storing data across game saves" but that's beyond what I'm looking for xD. Thanks
