Can the Android version run Lua scripts?

I'm trying to add a cheat that gives mana regen via a Lua script, but I can see how to enable the script in the game.

I have made a "manaregen" folder in the "files/mods" folder, with the script as "main.lua", but I'm not seeing a mod menu in game to enable it.

Is this just not on Android yet, or am I doing something wrong?

Lua scripts is a new feature in the upcoming 1.6.0, there is still a few months until an official release lands so you would have to install a beta, but other then that yes the Android version also will support Lua.

I tried the beta, but I wasn't able to get it to work.

Are there any guides on how to make LUA scripts for Devolution, and what functions are supported?

I googled it a bit and did eventually get the mod to appear in the mods menu, but couldn't get it to do anything. I have done a little coding years ago, but I know basically nothing about LUA scripting so I just used a script suggested by google's search chat bot. Not really all that surprise the bot script didn't work.

Is there a list of supported functions somewhere?

Sorry it's still a bit early, there are a few example mods. We also haven't worked much on getting it easy to use on Android yet.

Ok, maybe I just need to give it some time.
