<t> It can't be modded, there are governments which disable the private sector. I've noticed that most of the older forum members seem to not be interested in backing a push for more modding. Perhaps they know more about the devs and assume that it simply won't happen. Perhaps they don't really see ...

<t> Well, some of what you're suggesting is entirely possible with the current modding tools. Not all of it, but some of it. <br/>

<t> All the great new modding features in universe are great, but there is something missing.<br/>
