Step 6 - once you have the "leveldataoverride.lua" text file open you will need to paste in the below. 

Once you have copied the code below into the text file, you can customise your options.

All the settings are set to default so you will need to change "default" to any of the options a available .

The standard options are "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always". However there are more options for changing weather or season, which are all included in the copy and paste script below.

example: angrybees="default", (is standard default settings.)
change to: angrybees="always", (will spawn loads of angry bees, because we all love loads of angry bees.)

Seasons available options : "noseason", "veryshortseason", "shortseason", "default", "longseason", "verylongseason", "random".
Ressources available options : "never", "rare", "default", "often", "always"


You only need to change the options in the "". Don't change anything else as this can result in the game not loading properly

Copy and Paste the below in to the "leveldataoverride.lua" text file.

7.3. In the save folder delete the following (saveindex) and the 2 folders (session and server temp) - only delete these. Nothing else.
