Editor Comparisons - Tarquinous/wg-expanded-editor-3 GitHub Wiki

This page serves as a simple reference chart for comparing the expanded editor options. The mods are fundamentally different based on our own work design and the limitations of the mod tools, so this should help users decide on their preference.

Please note that both mods are fully compatible alongside Unicarn's other editor mods inclding Expanded Terrain and Expanded Audio. Some of their features are provided in my mod, but do check those out as well :)
