Rapid Resource Extraction (Coal, Ore, Oil) v10.3.5.0
I previously released these mods for game version v10.3.4.0. This is an update to make them work for v10.3.5.0.
The fix is essentially moving the files and game script into the SimCityData folder.
-Game-
- SimCity 2013
- v10.3.5.0
-Mode-

-Real installation instructions-
- Find your game's SimCityData folder.
- Extract the contents of the Files.zip into it.
Note: if the game gets updated again and these mods stop working, this may fix it... if there's a newer SimCity-Scripts_287520926.package file (it'll have a higher number than 287520926):
- Delete SimCity-Scripts_287520926.package in the SimCityData folder.
- Copy the newer one from SimCityUserData\EcoGame and paste it into the SimCityData folder.
