Setting up IDE

So i want to learn modding for SE but all the examples and tutorials i find are for graphical purposes such as overriding the looks of a block by adding an XML file that describes looks and blocktype.
I wish to do more complex things like tweak the max ship speed limit, missile speed or a block that can control thrusters and maneuvers towards enemy ships. Surely i wont be doing this in XML files as the tutorials seem to suggest.

How would i go about setting up Visual Studio for writing C# code for modding and how would i package and deploy it?

 

Well similar to this: https://forum.keenswh.com/threads/setup-visual-studio-for-se-programming.7385455/#post-1286989996

That guide is an old one for PB scripting, don't use the example template.
References should be: netstandard.dll, all Sandbox, SpaceEngineers, VRage prefixed dlls, and optionally ProtoBuf.Net.Core.dll.
All of these from the game's Bin64, don't download any libs!

Then your *.cs files go in <Mod>/Data/Scripts/<Folder>/*.cs
