Forewords
This is the last time I upload this as a separate mod, I promise. I only do this because I had worries about the differences in code and textures from 1.3 to 1.4, and feared the issues it would cause.
These issues aside, a great deal of work has been put into overhauling the textures of Edo Themed Expansion, and I would like to give thanks to Sovereign, who reworked a great deal of textures for the mod and helped me out with the update.
Let's talk shop about this update, it was originally supposed to be a texture overhaul and content update, but biotech threw a wrench in those plans, after some thought I decided it would be best to split the texture and content update into two separate updates, as to rush a functional version out for 1.4.
As it stands the texture over haul is roughly 95% complete, a few textures still need overhauls and will be done in the coming weeks. After that the new content will begin.
All previous translations or add-ons SHOULD still work, for the 1.3 legacy version they will require an update for the id, as the legacy version now uses the id "Heis.Edo.Themed.Expansion.Legacy.1.3"

Recommend to use with these mods
[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559958496&searchtext=Samurai] T's Samurai Faction[/url], My mod contains a number of redundant weapons, if that bothers you use [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881645667] My redundancy removal patch [/url]
Both T's Samurai faction and Eastern Armory add similar sets of armor, but the eastern armor has extra ones. I believe T has a patch for removing the redundant items.

F.A.Q
[b] Can I disable the Bamboo forest biome? [/b]
Yes, Edo themed expansion makes use of Vanilla Expanded Frameworks toggable patches, so you can tick on the "Edo Themed Expansion: Biome Removal" patch to remove the bamboo forest, although it requires a game restart to take effect. Go to the end of the images for a visual demonstration on how to do this.
[b] For 1.6+, Edo themed expansion no longer uses VEF toggable patches for biome disabling. it now has its own settings page to handle that.[/b]

PERMISSIONS
All my stuff is free to use in your mods. That being said, some form of credit or acknowledgement is required. All you need is a little "Special thanks to" or something, its disingenuous to do so without crediting, as by omitting credit you imply you made it yourself.
Additionally, please ask first. If you neither ask nor provide credit, I will fully assume you are attempting to steal my work and pass it off as your own.
This does not apply for mods clearly labeled as patches, re textures, or mods that use mine as a dependency. No form of asking or credit is required, for any mod using mine as a dependency.
Final words
If anyone should so desire to support me, leave a comment. Seriously, its free and I love to see em.
But since I was asked once, if anyone has some extra change burning a hole in their pockets, I have a Ko-fi now.
