Any plans for modding?

[Antorius]

Hiya,

I see that the game is currently on sale on GoG. As a rule, I prefer to purchase on GoG over Steam, all else being equal; but one thing that GoG does not have is the Steam Workshop. So, I was just wondering if there is a reasonable chance that mod support will be added? I didn't see anything in the Roadmap...

...and found only one entry in the feature requests...

https://feedback.eremitegames.com/b/suggestions-feature-requests/modding-steam-workshop-support/

...so I suspect not. But, just thought I'd ask.

Cheers!

I am aware it's about piracy, I just wasn't aware of how bad the industry has gotten, and I'll state the facts of the matter once more: not one single book, program, show, movie, or game has ever in the history of time and space ever lost money or failed due to piracy. The problem is so many people erroneously think every single instance of piracy is lost revenue when pirates never would have paid to begin with.

The amount of money and trouble that's been put into garbage like the DMCA and all the DRM is more problematic than piracy ever could have been. I was just taken by surprise that Steam did it with literally everything and that there was a company not doing things in such an underhanded way. I'd hoped DRM was gone after the SimCity 4 debacle.

Is not how bad industry has gotten. It is piracy force industry to take this move.
Just like if there is no terrorist and 911 incident, process before boarding will be much simpler, and the cost will definitely lower due to less security check.
Almost identical same thing.
Also, this is not what the topic about.

I definitely hope modding is possible.
Even mod of simple QOL or minor contents are welcome.
Developers listen the community well, much dissatisfaction resolved. Now we only want more contents

It's really cringeworthy to say piracy loses you money.

Your customers not being willing to pay for your product loses you money. Either because you suck at selling, your product sucks, or you suck.

There are a few mods out there (in chronological order):
https://github.com/ats-mods/Stormwalker
https://github.com/ats-mods/EyeOfTheStorm
https://github.com/Josiwe/Josiwe.ATS.Cheats

The most up to date one is the last one (josiwe). Hope that helps.

It's a Unity game. Unity games have quasi-built-in mod support from Harmony (a patcher) and it's allied projects (like Bepinex).

The developer of a Unity game needn't do anything to support mods.

The Stormwalker mod has a .dll file to put in Bepinex plugins folder but the Josiwe mod does not. Can anyone tell me exactly what to do to install it correctly? I found the .csproj file and chaned it (I think) to my system info but I am still not sure I am doing it correctly.
