+Copy `botconfig.py.example` to `botconfig.py` and modify the settings as needed. You can also copy-paste individual settings from `src/settings.py` into `botconfig.py` if you want to modify them. You may also add or customize your own game modes by renaming `gamemodes.py.example` to `gamemodes.py` and using the same layout used in `src/gamemodes.py`.
+
+Note: you should never alter files under the `src` folder directly (unless you are submitting a change to the code), use `botconfig.py` and `gamemodes.py` for related changes.
 
 To start the bot, run `./wolfbot.py`. You can use `--verbose` to log all raw IRC messages and `--debug` to enable some debugging features. These options should not be used in production.
