 [[Genotype]]s and [[subtype]]s can be created with only some basic XML files. No scripting is required.
 Generally you'll want to include a <code>Genotypes.xml</code>, a <code>Subtypes.xml</code>, and a <code>PopulationTables.xml</code> (the latter defines starting gear for your subtypes).
+You can also add naming schemes to subtypes by making a <code>Naming.xml</code> with a namestyle assigned to those subtypes. (Naming is assigned on a subtype level rather than by genotypes.)
 Additional files may be included depending on what exactly you want to do. For instance, you might include [[Modding:Tiles|custom tiles]] or custom items defined in an <code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code>.
-Refer to some of the example mods that are available to see how to set them up.
+For reference, you can see the game's default files for reference at [[File locations]]. You can also refer to some of the example mods that are available to see how to set them up.
