Any plans for Modding/Steam Workshop?

[ZuluGulf]

Anyone know if there are modding plans for this game? Feel like that would be absolutely HUGE. Already has a great foundation and would allow for some awesome content/possiblities

Yeah, in the interview he has, He plans to add modding, He would like the full conversion kinda stuff too but some of it is how hard it is to implement

So I'm confused, are there mods or aren't there? some of the dedicated servers have utility mods like com application and surrender that would be really great to use on my own hosted games. is there a way I can get access to those ones?

Anyone who mods this into Starcraft will be considered a 'god'.

I believe server-side modding is a little different from what most people mean when they request "mod support". Server-side modding can't introduce new weapons, new units, or new skins into the game. But if you are looking for administrative type mods for running a server then some of those can be found here:

There are more possibilities with server-side mods other than administration such as having a particular scenario/event where structures and units are pre-placed but this doesn't exist at the time of this comment. Server-side changes are never going to make it like Starcraft, for instance.

I would really strongly urge/ask for as much as possible to be allowed to be modded. Honestly, mods have extended so many games far beyond anything developers ever imagined, and extend a game's attractiveness (10 games in 1 with little cost to developers) and overall lifetime.

My favorite game of all time, Tribes 2, got pretty boring after a few months in the original design, but with mods, the game became quite popular and lasted a good 10-15 years with good player numbers, and really still exists today as Tribes Next but with hardly anyone playing. The only issues were really that occasional game patches broke mods, but mods were fairly easy to adapt with documentation. You could say the same of so many more modern games as well.

I may be wrong but I believe the dev has already stated there will be mod support.
