@irrelevant : http://www.shiningrocksoftware.com/mods
then look for the section :
Banished Toolkit 1.0.4 Build 141123 | The mod kit is currently version 1.0.4 Build 141123.

When downloaded the .zip,   follow instructions of README.HTML

the Banished Toolkit, is actually the test environment for mods, before they're packaged and able to be shared with others.

What is the toolkit debug tool? How do I install it?

When I look at my download, it says "toolkit debug tool," but when I click on the "deer populatioin" pulldown, nothing happens.

yeah you would need to install the toolkit itself

[irrelevant]

I've read the instructions and they are totally opaque to me, embarrassingly enough.

Can someone tell me in english what file I need to copy from this zip and where I need to copy it to? 

Or do I rightclick and extract the entire contents of the .zip to the "banished" folder?

if it was just a few files
1. ) Download zip
2. ) extract .zip to a location i.e.  c:\banished-toolkit
3. ) copy banished game \windata\data0.pkg to c:\banished-toolkit\bin\windata\
4. ) Install DirectX End User Runtime :  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35
5.) Install  Visual Studio 2012 Redist :  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
6.) Almost done!   run the file BuildResources.bat
will take a while...

7.) You now have a test environment for your own mods
c:\banished-toolkit\bin\x32 or x64  \ Application-x??-profile.exe  will be the "game"  with extended debuging etc.

@chillzz so you are saying in step 2 that I am creating a completely new folder to extract this zip to?

@RedKetchup btw this was not intended to be a dig at you. I was simply admitting that I am pretty much tech-illiterate.
