I'd also like to know more about modding this game, I think it could lead to tons of new and exciting content!

I feel like this game has so much potential, it's just very limited currently. How can I begin learning to mod games like this one in particular, I have limited experience with C++ and Python.

Check out the Modding Wiki[github.com], and then start reading the source. Or do it the other way around if you like, who am I to tell you what to do ;)

Getting started in modding depends on where you are starting from. I didn't know Lua (the scripting language that most Sapiens mods are built with) but I did know how to program so picking up Lua in that case is just learning how Lua does things. If you haven't learned programming before it's a steeper slope. In this regard Lua is actually a great first language to learn, IMHO. Lots of Youtube video tutorials out there, my advice with these is to work along with the video, pausing when you need to. Programming is a hands on learning experience, just watching the videos isn't going to get you there.

Once you have that out of the way learning to mod Sapiens is something that will build on that knowledge - you will need to understand how the Sapiens Lua code works, which Valck has provided a link for. The other resource I can add is there is a community-based modding wiki as well that you can find here: https://wiki.sapiens.dev/.

Hope that helps!
