Sample Mod by the Game: Overview
Both Expeditions and SnowRunner allow you generate a sample mod of the truck using the game itself.
After generation, you can use this sample mod as a basis for your modding experiments, to study structure of the necessary files and folders, XML files, meshes in FBX, and relations between different mod parts.
