2020 Aug 06 : more recent instructions for modding were posted to Steam Community forums: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2189405817

The "Legacy" mod method is described below.

---

Upon starting the game with the new update, a new “mods” folder will appear at the location of 100% Orange Juice’s executable. You can find it by going in your Steam Library > Right clicking 100% Orange Juice > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files.

The new mods folder will be where you will store all your mods.

Make up your first mod.

To make your first mod, you need to create a new folder in “mods”, which will be your mod’s name.

Inside this folder, you will need a mod definition file, called mod.txt. The content should follow this format:

< MOD_NAME >
The Cuties, but Sora is alone

< MOD_DESCRIPTION >
This mod made Sham quite upset.

< MOD_AUTHOR >
Sora [Fruitbat Factory]

< MOD_AUTHOR_CONTACT >
https://steamcommunity.com/id/SoraTheGuardian

< MOD_REPLACEMENTS >
units/cuties_00_00
units/cuties_00_01
units/cuties_00_02
units/cuties_00_03
units/cuties_00_04
units/cuties_00_05

This syntax is the same as a localization define file.
Make sure the encoding of this file is UTF-8.

---

Here’s a quick recap of what those values means:
< MOD_NAME >*	The name of your mod. It can be different from the folder’s name, and is only used for display purposes.
< MOD_DESCRIPTION >	The description of your mod.
< MOD_AUTHOR >	Your name!
< MOD_AUTHOR_CONTACT > (Facultative)	A way to contact you, steam profile link, e-mail...
< MOD_REPLACEMENTS >*	These should be all file paths that you want to replace with your own texture (omitting file extension.)
*These values must be added in your mod.txt. If they are missing or having bad data, your mod might not be loaded by the game.

• Textures must be .png, be the same resolution as the original texture, and follow the same path as where it is located in the original files.

• You can also include a customized preview, which needs to be located at the root of your mod directory (where mod.txt is.) The preview must be .png, be named preview.png and be 256x128 in resolution.

---

Once the file is created, the structure of your mod should be (following the previous example):

100% Orange Juice
|_ mods
  |_ My Mod Name
    |_ mod.txt
    |_ preview.png
    |_ units
      |_ cuties_00_00
      |_ cuties_00_01
      |_ cuties_00_02
      |_ cuties_00_03
      |_ cuties_00_04
      |_ cuties_00_05

Limitations

Mod loading priority can be also changed via the up & down arrow buttons.

• Only unit related textures can currently be modified.
  They are located in units, alphamasks, hats, hairs game packages. (Note: You can open those with any archiver software (7-Zip, WinRAR, WinZIP …).

• Hair colors for units (except the oldest units) are colored via our game code directly. You cannot change those for now. If you want to have a customized colored hair, you need to do so on the unit texture itself. Only the hair colors that are not white can be modified.

• The result can be seen in the Config screen, in the newly added Mods tab.
