5 things learnt about the Sandbox folder structure

1. Bin 64 editor is recommended for operating a 64 bit operating system, currently I have been using Bin 32 when I should have been using Bin 64 editor

2. The .cfg files are filled with comments and if needed to be edited it can be done however if a new .cfg file is needed create a new text file then change the extension

3. The .log files and .dmp files are the place to check if a random crash occurs and needs to be debugged

4. Sounds, particles, animations, etc. are located within the game folder as a .pak file

5. In the tools folder settings manager should be checked at least once to have a green light
