Adding stories - Pandemonium14/ExoLoader GitHub Wiki

As with everything else, you start by creating Stories folder in your own content folder. The folder structure should be like: Exocolonist/CustomContent/YourFolderName/Stories.

Then, any text file in this folder with .exo as the extension will be added to the game.

Game uses custom Exoscript language to script stories. Skypher on Exocolonist Creator Community Discord has created a guide on Exoscript that can answer most of the questions you might have about it.

Here is an example story made by the game's creator Sarah Northway that can also give you a clear understanding how it works: example.exo

Use cases

You may need to add custom stories if you want to:

  • Add new interactions to existing or new characters
  • Create new exploration stories
  • Add new job events
  • Add a story for a new ending (you still need to add ending itself separately)
