CI demo

This pulls the Timberborn DLLs from a private repository of mine. Doing this guards Mechanistry's IP while letting us build & test in the cloud.

Nevermind actions are already enabled, it only took a second for them to show up.

There it is. Click the green check mark next to b401518 above or click the "Successful in 2m" note below: we have a full mod build running on a Windows VM in the cloud.

Adding formatting enforcement to this will be easy. Adding automated tests is a possibility.

I was going to propose this soon, but you beat me to it! It would be nice though, if the Action created a zip/rar.

Something like "if it's a PR, generate a zip and have it be a downloadable artifact for 30/60/90 days".. and maybe a more permanent thing for tags/releases, like publishing to the steam workshop/mod.io. This is one of my areas of "actual expertise", so would be happy to add these in, if @thomaswp likes the idea

[robinplace]

Go for to @SamuZad. Feel free to fork this. I probably wouldn't automate publishing until we have e.g. automated integration testing but everything short of that sounds great.

[robinplace]

We definitely have players who'd be willing to test if pre-release builds were made available!

Auto publishing a branch to a "unstable" BB mod on Steam seems totally okay!

Unfortunately Mechanistry declined my request for a low-DRM subscription to the game so I will likely not prioritize automated integration testing.
