mod support

[eytchdi]

hi guys, just purchased in steam..

so excited to play it..

just some questions.. would there be mod support? or some mod kit?
or workshop in steam?

was wondering how modders would be able to add ship hulls.
the possibilities..

There is mod support. So much so, people already modded it in the beta.

There will be no steam workshop support at release. However they seemed generally open to the idea.

Please not steam workshop - I think that would prevent non-steam game owners from using the mods and would fragment community or force mods to be in multiple places (split brain).

The community is already fragmented across Steam, Reddit, Discord, these forums, etc.

and mods are already in multiple places.

I don't know if CodeForce plan on adding Steam Workshop support, but regardless of that, I think the prospect of having mods available in multiple places is not a good reason not to have Workshop support. The Workshop is just too convenient for Steam users to pass up.

Of course, the Workshop can't be the only modding infrastructure, because all players should have access to mods.
