Success! If everything went well and you completed every installation, you should be ready to develop mods for Total Miner using XNA Game Studio! You can now open the TotalMinerMods example repo in VS2017 or also start a new XNA Game Studio Library project and make your own mod from scratch!
If you have any problems following this guide, you can post in #modding in the
Official Total Miner Discord
or pm me there (Justyn#6072)
