-There is no limit to how many files you can add to the mod folder, but you should only be placing files strictly necessary to your mod in the BNP to keep file sizes down.

			=== Edit priority ===
			If a file exists in your update dump, edit that copy of it. If it doesn't exist there, edit the one in your DLC dump. If it doesn't exist in either the update files or the DLC files, edit the one from the base game dump.

			=== File extensions for compressed resources ===
			In most cases, file extensions that start with ".s" are used for [[Yaz0]]-compressed files. Ensure that any file with such extensions is compressed. Some tools (for example {{ltool\|BotW Unpacker}}, {{ltool\|byml-v2}} or {{ltool\|sarc}}) will automatically compress files when needed.

			Example: .bactorpack -> .sbactorpack (after compression)
