--- If you're looking to configure anything, you want config.lua. Nearly everything in this file is dictated by the config.

+--- Please go to ./config if you want to change settings, each file is commented with what it does
+-- if it is not in ./config then you should not attempt to change it unless you know what you are doing
+-- all files which are loaded (including the config files) are present in ./config/file_loader.lua
+-- this file is the landing point for all scenarios please DO NOT edit directly, further comments are to aid development
