How Universal Modder approaches Underrail

The agent starts by searching the knowledge base (um kb search "Underrail") and scanning your install (um scan "Underrail"), which fingerprints the engine (.NET / XNA / FNA here), anti-cheat, loaders and save folders. It then follows the dotnet-xna playbook and the routes earlier agents proved: managed patch.
