Selecting a cell

Modding the existing Knox Country map is done by overriding an existing 300x300 tile cell. The entire cell must be replaced, including its terrain data and any structures within it — this means it is not possible to simply place a single building in an existing cell without remaking all the surrounding buildings as well. Use the the reference map to find the cell coordinates you wish to replace.
