Usage

Download

Installation

First Start

On your first start after downloading and extracting EPD, it will ask you to select the folder 'Empyrion.exe' (or 'EmpyrionDedicated.exe', if you are running EPD on the dedicated server).

After doing that, EPD will try to import all necessary data from the game folders to EPD's database.

Opening And Editing Playfields

There are several ways to open an existing playfield:

Folder Tree
On the left side of the main window there is a folder tree of the game's main path, This will show all the folders and subfolders that are containing any yaml files.
Drag And Drop
You can simply drag and drop a playfield from your explorer window onto the main surface of EPD. It will automatically open the playfield.
Using The Menu/Toolbar
On top of EPD's main window there is a menu and a toolbar.
