is mod support coming if yes then how long would it be to release cos its to annoying modding it i done it all and it didn't work

Look at the "Guides" section (on the Steam window, on the bar right below the game's name) and you'll see there's already several mods out that work, there's even a "mods" section where you'll find some other mods.

I've been modding this game myself since early 2021. "Mod support" is a nicer way of saying "crutch" IMO. No game ever needed mod support to be mod-able, it was just a matter of users figuring things out, and other users figuring out where to search for mods.

Official mod support via Steam workshop probably will not come. The way the game handles files it is not possible to use 2 mods that change the same file without manually merging them, so compatibility would be a nightmare. But it is both possible and in many cases very easy to mod the game yourself.

how do i mod

That's a very unspecific question. You mean "how do I modify the game myself" or "how do I use mods"? The first is a more complicated thing, the second is simpler, both need you to read and understand instructions and follow steps carefully, since one misspelling inside a file can break your game, and using modifications that aren't up to date will also break things.

Right click the game in Steam and click properties > local files > browse, then open Mad Games Tycoon 2_Data then Extern, all the files you want to modify should be in there. All the mods you download from the forum will overwrite either Mad Games Tycoon 2_Data or Extern, so they will need to be placed in the same location as those folders. But the game gets updated a lot, so using older mods will likely cause issues.

Most of what you want to modify will be in Extern>Data, and adding things there should be easy to figure out based on the formatting of the other items in the file. However new themes need to be added to Themes_GE in the GE folder and also to the same file in whatever language you want to use.
