Then maybe a game which is supposed to be able to be modified shouldn't have enums used in a way which makes modding hard or borderline impossible.

I just ran into this while going through the steps required to add a new liquid type.

There is no mention of a string table neither in the Modding Basics nor the Modding Structure wiki pages. How are mod creators supposed to know that it exists?

In 1.14, every mod which is not a DLC displays the default widget text, a rather unimaginative W, instead of the actual description.
