Default Modding Questions

Greets,

1. Let me see if I understand this... When one specifies a subdirectory in the 'path.txt' file, SEIV searches that directory first (for needed data files). If the necessary data file isn't found in the custom directory, then SEIV uses the default files in its own directory. Is this correct?

2. (or really 1a) If the above is true, is it prudent to copy a file to be edited into the mod directory. This should leave the original untouched, and allow use of the customized file.

2. Can the DefaultDesignTypes file be edited without affecting game play? I find many of the designations (three colony types, Attack Base, etc.) useless, and would like to change them.

TIA
