This is a thread for those of you who want to improve Trio or make something interesting out of it. I'll post some information here as things progress. So first thing:
UnTrio
UnTrio is a no-frills extractor for unpacking Trio's data.pak. Just drag the data.pak over UnTrio and it will be extracted in a sub-directory.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/e23apyyynh767yd/UnTrio.zip
Source code is included, as usual.
Remember to move the files out from the subdirectory (everything in "Trio The Great Settlement\data\data\data") to the real data folder ("Trio The Great Settlement\data").
Blank Data.pak
If you're going to use the extracted files you'll need a blank data.pak to "fill in the spot". If you delete the original data.pak and try to play the game, it will crash with the error "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION". (If you run the game with the original data.pak and have the extracted files, you'll extend loading time.)

To use, rename the original data.pak into something else, like data.paknot. Then place the blank data.pak in its place.
Modding Trio is officially approved by the developer, as indicated by this email:
Hi!Yesterday your company gave away Trio. I found it to be a very nice game,
despite a few English quirks.
Thanks! Yes, English is our weak side)
I've made a data.pak extractor for the game,
and was wondering if you approve of modding your game. A copy of the
extractor can be found at

Mode it! I would be happy to see your version of the game.
BTW, what do you think of the trick to skip the logo screens entirely?
Remove the line with the logo tag from screenbrandingconfig.xml.
It's ok. Different portals can easily put their branding in
