[Mod Advice] What does all the @b1_stuff mean?

[thestarsseeall]

Beginner to making mods. Looked at the wiki for mod advice, seems simple enough.

upkeep = {
energy = 2
}

modifier = {
job_farmer_add = 2
}

Okay, I can work with these. But then I go into the game files, and it doesn't have these clear descriptors and simple integers like in the wiki. Instead, it says stuff like

inline_script = {
script = jobs/foundry_add
AMOUNT = @b1_jobs

and

upkeep = {
energy = @b1_upkeep
}

Are these variable names referring to something defined elsewhere? I've tried searching via the file explorer, but nothing turns up at all, not even the files these references originally appeared in.

May want to improve your text search process, because they're defined in common/scripted_variables/00_scripted_variables.txt .

Variables (they aren't true variables) can be defined in a file, or in the scripted_variables folder.

Can't believe I missed that, seems so obvious in hindsight. Guess I was too hasty in skimming through the folders. Thanks for the help!
