Game as the Core mod: data-driven content and localization
The whole game is now described by Mods/Core — the first consumer of the engine's new MrGameEng.Mods module: - textures/ moved to Mods/Core/Textures; atlases are built at game start from the merged texture tree of all active mods into Cache/ (gitignored, incremental) instead of being committed, and the GameAssets atlas handles are gone with them - terrain, plants and pawns are JSON defs (Mods/Core/Defs) with parent inheritance; scenes read TerrainDef/PlantDef/PawnDef instead of hardcoded arrays, and the TerrainKind enum is retired - HUD strings come from Mods/Core/Languages (ru default, en fallback) through LanguageManager; the language switches at runtime - new console commands: mods, lang [code], defs [type]; atlas now inspects the runtime-built cache - bump engine: MrGameEng.Mods module and the explicit-sources AtlasBuilder overload Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Source images live in `textures/` (committed); the game only loads packed atlases from

`src/LittleSim/Assets/Atlases` (also committed — the asset generator emits

`GameAssets.Atlases.*` handles for them). After changing `textures/`, rebuild with:

All game content is data in mods (`MrGameEng.Mods`): the game itself ships as the
|
||||
`Core` mod. `Mods/Core/Defs` holds JSON defs (terrain, plants, pawns — see
|
||||
`docs/mods.md`), `Mods/Core/Languages/{ru,en}` holds UI strings (default language is
|
||||
`ru`), `Mods/Core/Textures` holds source images. New mechanics get defs + localization
|
||||
keys, not hardcoded arrays; UI strings go through `LanguageManager`, never inline.

Atlases are built **at game start** from the merged texture tree of all active mods

into `Cache/Atlases` (incremental: unchanged groups are skipped, a clean first run

takes ~20 s). Region keys are paths relative to `Textures/` without extension:
