Hello,

after playing the game for around 20 hours now and dived into the modding part of the game.
The game is currently still in its baby steps modding wise. There are some basic things you can do currently but nothing extraordinary. There are a few major issues the modding system has that will ...

Hello,

i tried to make some changes to facilitys - so i changed some values. To my suprise, it didnt work. So i made some further test and just deleted everything from the file except: ArrayOfPlanetaryFacilityDefinition. The game started normaly and to my even further suprise, all facilitys were ...

Wondering if we will be allowed to create new galaxy types & adjusting the 'stars' numbers.
For example, a system with only 100 stars.


Just wanna barge in, once code mods are available, the things we can do are near endless. E.g making a 100star galaxy will be one of the easier things (if it is ...

Just so we have an official Post about it

I already suggested this in the Roadmap thread but i think it might deserve its own thread incase other people want to add to this


"Hello Elliot,

Hello Elliot,

Its me, that annoying guy that was harrasing you for code mods the last few months. Thanks for the headsup!

I also have a suggestion for modding compatibility espacially for XML.

Rimworld is one of the best examples on how it should be done. Basically there is something called ...

Not sure, TBH I haven't set up a C# environment since refreshing my PC. This is what I briefly saw with dotPeek: https://i.postimg.cc/tCxgfLHX/Capture.png

I'm also busy atm, but I will set up VS and take a closer look soon(TM).


i have also done some deeper investigation into the code ...

So just poking through the game directory for a few minutes before I even open the game, it looks like we have enough access to the Xenko engine to get in trouble... I'm having trouble finding where the actual game mechanics are in the code though. I think I need more coffee.


Also, I'm ...

We'll be posting a bit of a modding roadmap and some modding docs on release day as well to help explain where we are and where we're going ...

Hello, sorry for the bump!

Just asking if there are any news on this topic as the release is just around the corner!
would love to hear the decission which has been made

All of this ^.

Typically, in Cities:Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, Oxygen Not Included, Rimworld, Stardew Valley and many other games, modders mess with game mechanics implemented in C# via Harmony without having to touch, say, Unity's C++ functions. This has the added benefit of letting all ...

Reality check:
Back when you could still select Starting Weapon Type, some people modded the Empire files to give another thecnology. Something higher that was useable early.

Those are the kinds of issues Stellaris has to guard against. It makes no differnce that the network is "peer to ...

PS. I know they are 2 sepperate games, but this would also give you a massive edge over stellaris. Modders complain a lot, that stellaris is limiting modding so much. Many features in mods have to be scrapped due to engine limitations or have to be worked around in a very unclean manner. I guess ...

Thanks to those who brought this up.

We've been discussing this for some time now and Elliot is coming around to the idea, but he still has some concerns. We are basically at the very last minute and right now, the game is still obfuscated, but we have time for one last update if he decides to ...

<t> I am really glad that there are so many people interested in modding this game beyond only editing some XML files.<br/>
<br/>
I really like everything i have seen about the game, but i am still very scared that the decision to obfuscate the code will be made. If i knew otherwise i probably ...

<t> I am glad that my plege is getting so much support.<br/>
Code theft is near non existant. Something that happens on a regular basis is the theft of 3d/2d art by single entities trying to make some quick buck on 3d platforms, but decompiling 3d art is very easy anyway.<br/>
<br/>
I really hope ...

I'll discuss this with Elliot, but as far as I know right now, he's quite protective of his code so I expect it would be obfuscated. I've seen a few other requests for "harmony" modding which is a similar thing. We may not have time to ...

<t> Hello dear developers,<br/>
<br/>
i am very hyped for the game, but for every upcoming game i am very interested in, i have a few fears.<br/>
I have already asked about something simmilar a while back, but the game was in early stages and now that the game is nearing release, i hope i can ...

<t> What i am extremely curious about is how you guys think of harmony modding (basically detouring c# methods, modifying them or replacing them). Harmony is extremely popular in modding unity based games but is working with most c# applications. There are games that allow for a extremely large ...
