 ## Building (For developers)
 
-The sysmodule uses the latest release of [libnx](https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx), grabbed from pacman.
+Like all other switch projects, you need to have [devkitPro](https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Setting_up_Development_Environment) set up on your system.
 
-To build it, go to the project directory and enter the command `make` to build a release of sys-con (will be stored in `out/`), or `make clean` to clean the project of any build files.
+You will need to compile and use the master branch of [libnx](https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx) due to a [dependency](https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx/commit/c3b0b63471ee5309ea5040ad98f21919022ac9c7) in libstratosphere.
+
+If you have **Visual Studio Code**, you can open the project as a folder and run the build tasks from inside the program. It also has Intellisense configured for switch development, if you have DEVKITPRO correctly defined in your environment variables. Handy!
+
+Otherwise, you can open the console inside the project directory and use one of the following commands:
+
+`make -j8`: Builds the project and its dependencies (libstratosphere) and places the resulting files in the output folder (out/). The -j8 means it will create 8 separate threads to speed up the building process. Make it lower if it freezes up your system.
+
+`make clean`: Cleans the project files (but not the dependencies).
+
+`make mrproper`: Cleans the project files and the dependencies.
+
+For an in-depth explanation of how sys-con works, see [here](source).
