Most of my work here has been uploading pictures and cleaning up crafting recipes.

I also try to answer questions from players that are stuck.

Stuff I need to remember:

No colon in image file names, but keep the colon in article names
Image file names can never contain a : (colon). Replace with -

The colon works fine in article names and should still be used there.

This is pretty much only an issue regarding paintings, since they're named "Painting: something".

While Windows might care about the colon, MediaWiki does not. So pages like File:Painting: Girl.png are possible. Note that page is a redirect. Mavoc (talk) 09:24, December 27, 2019 (UTC)

Image file locations
Location of most relevant image files (since alpha 8.0, 21 July 2018):

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\My Time At Portia\Portia_Data\StreamingAssets\AssetBundles

file: uisystem

This file does not contain the achievement icons.

Instructions for extracting image files
Bermuda's instructions for extracting image files (slightly updated) You can find them by extracting the asset files from your My Time at Portia folder.

You will first need to download the extractor from this website: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?22675-Unity-Assets-Bundle-Extractor.

Located "2.2 beta2 (32bit : here or here, 64bit : here or here)" at the bottom of the first post. Download whichever one is suitable for your computer: 32bit or 64bit.

After that, you can start extracting the asset files. This will be located in:

Steam > steamapps > common > MTaP > Portia Data > StreamingAssets > AssetBundles

Filename: uisystem

Steps to get there may differ between file location and computer.

You only need to extract this one file.

Once you have extracted this file, you can extract all Texture2D files.

Find the files by clicking "Info".

It is easier to locate all of them when your sort out the Name and Type column. Select all the Texture2D files (and only the Texture2D files), go under Plugins on the right side, and save them as .png

Achievement icons
Achievement icons can be found at

https://steamdb.info/app/666140/stats/

the size seems to be correct, but they have been saved in .jpg (not .png). Not sure if some of the corners have changed colour from black to white or if the devs have switched standard mid way.

Convert achievement icon files to .png using IrfanView.

Redirect code
Redirects:
 * 1) REDIRECT target page

Avoid using the auto-category system
This wiki's auto-category system for missing image files is broken. Supposedly, it is an auto-category system that assigns articles in the category for missing images, and removes them automatically when all redlink image links have been filled.

But the poor mediawiki inplementation hardcodes this temporary category into the article when subsequent edits are made.

Solution: Only use the *correct, old school* category system and add them at the bottom of articles like so:
