Mod support

[Abhorrent]

Will anything along the lines of mods come around?

[Jahaga]

There are mods available for the game. Since it's currently in early access, the Devs tend not to support them as updates to the game can break them very often.

A lot of the mods are available at http://dsp.thunderstore.io

thank you

The more important thing would be Workshop Support. Did anyone knows, if the Devs plan to add it?

The Steam Workshop is an outdated system. Many third party sites now implement mods infinitely better. If Valve is not going to update their system to modern standards then it needs to be deprecated.

That may be true, but it has one big advantage: its really easy to add and update mods with it. I know e.g. nexus has an alternative system, but you really need to waste more time to get mods to work, while you need few clicks with workshop.

It's outdated and obsolete as the game itself already provides the necessary info on hover.

Nexus/Vortex is junk. Thunderstore in conjunction with r2modman are the easiest and most user friendly solutions that currently exists that also offer several features that do not exist in any form through any other mod portal, mod manager or workshop. r2modman also allows for authors to create mods that are configurable by the end user. No other mod manager does this.

Single button clicks to add the mods and they just work. No fiddling around with load orders or any other inherently terrible issues that Nexus' Vortex mod manager is plagued with.

I 100% agree.

Thunderstore also lacks the sheer amount of mods Nexus has. It may be easier to use, but you won't find as many diverse mods. I will glady take extra steps, for the mods I want, vs easy steps with far less available mods.

That depends entirely on the game. Nexus DSP has only 11 mods. Thunderstore DSP has nearly 400. There are also games that Thunderstore has that Nexus doesn't and vice versa but that is only because Nexus has been around longer.

It's too bad more authors aren't taking advantage of Thunderstore but that boils down to saturation also due to Nexus being around longer same as Steam workshop. Thunderstore just needs more time to saturate the market.

i'll gladly use Thunderstore over Nexus simply to avoid all the issues that have plagued Vortex for years. Thunderstore and r2modman are leagues ahead of all other mod managers.
