If a mod has settings, the files related to settings (PresentConfigureUI, Client_SaveConfigureUI and Client_PresentSettingsUI) can be automated by essentially turning what’s required in a settings.lua file into a GUI (https://danwales.github.io/Auto_Settings_Files_Documentation/).
I don’t believe it’s possible to write the core mod without knowing how to code though. It’s difficult to convert English into any programming language and the clarity of sentences vastly differs from English. Would need to know what mods can do and exactly what features are in lua to even make modding easier (too large for me to know everything).

The best thing about coding is that, unlike people, the computer does exactly what you tell it to do. Always. The worst thing about coding is that, unlike people, the computer does exactly what you tell it to do. Always.

ChatGPT doesn’t currently understand the mod API framework - it’s better at general problem solving

Would be interesting if a mod description could be turned into code

Can't sign-up or log-in. Many are experiencing this problem. None of the suggested "fixes" worked.
