Mods/Workshop?
Will Enshrouded support mods or community workshop contributions?

If so, how much is planned to be manipulated via any supported methods?

It has been mentioned by Keen that as of right now, supporting a mod kit or creating mod tooling to allow mods is not being planned.

They are focused on creating a game that everyone can be proud of first. That said they are not opposed to mods or the modding community, but since Enshrouded runs on a proprietary game engine, the typical modding tools available for systems such as Unity and UE4/5 won't be compatible. Thus requiring Keen to build a modding SDK/tooling before modders can take advantage of it.

This is mentioned in their FAQ as well as discussed on the Enshrouded Discord at length.

doubt thats a priority especially for early access as they gotta get the base vanilla game working correctly before wanting to deal with all the bugs and issues mods would bring to the table naturally.

Many games allow for modding even in EA, hopefully this will be one of them.

Modders are what keep Skyrim alive.

OMG, Please no! Not until the game has been out and finalized at least a year.
Let the Devs make the game they want and not rely on a modding community.

Mods are fun after the game is out and enjoyed and played to continue to add life to a game, not before.

There will be no MOD-tool to use for the game/modders, because the Devs first have to create a Mod-tool. Keen Game studio have created a brand new game-engine, so to use mods in the game, - a brand new Mod-tool is needed. Devs have comfirtmed that (there Discord channel).

Confirmed what? That they use a new engine?
Why don't they instead confirm or deny that they will make that modding tool?

Like multiplayer, most games that have official mod support are designed from very early on with it in mind, so this isn't a bad question to ask at this stage even if the feature itself won't be released for a while. (Of course, whether unofficial mods will be supported won't be known until the community gets their hands on the game.)

This game with mods = Conan Exiles Killer 100%

If the game have Mods for roleplay, im sure about the conan roleplay players gonna change the game

"**Will the game support mods?**
There are no questions that mods are what makes a game truly great, but at this stage, we cannot make promises that the game will be moddable, as using our own custom engine means we would have to develop our own tools, etc, to make mods a thing."
(from the game´s discord)
Sounds like a no to me, which would be a shame.

Agreed, a lot of similar games had workshop support from the start in EA.

I'm definitely for it. A workshop can fundamentally help to rebuild gameplay, increase popularity, etc.

A pity if it doesn't support mods. Mods extend the life of a game dramatically. There are so many survival games out there, i would much rather play one with a longer lifespan. Guess I'll check this game out in a few years and see if they eventually add support, definitely won't pay full price for a game with limited replay-ability.

It looks like a game with lots of potential though.
