Ok so I got a lot less errors now so it looks like this now:

Well there you go, it tells you there's an issue with the resources.cfg file. Post it?
Might simply be the formatting of the file that is incorrect though.

Here we go, getting this troubleshooted one step at a time!

You don't have to replace the original entries, just add yours.

[Mudbill]

Yes, yes, you shouldn't edit the original contents of the file because if you do, the game will lose access to those folders. It still needs to be able to access the default entities and static objects. If you have your own folders with custom entities and static objects, you must instead ADD those above the original folders. This way the game will search for your files first before the original files. If it cannot find it within your mod, it will search the original afterwards (in which case it's most likely a default file).

Exact same issue is presented in this thread:

There's still something wrong with your resources.cfg then. I'm assuming it's in your config folder?

Perhaps you haven't got a closing ">" somewhere, or you have a misplaced quotation mark somewhere? If you have Notepad++, open up your resources.cfg in that and set the Encoding to XML. If there's an error with your formatting, the colours will help you point it out. Otherwise, it's still to do with the resources you are loading.

I cant find any errors, no missing anything.

Could you post that file regardless? It's hard to prove without anything to look to.
