Mod tools
Have they released the mod tool kits yet? Or are they brain storming how to nickle and dime the modders too?

Plan on ~5-6 months from now (end of 1st quarter 2024), just to be safe.

On a game they expect to be a modding platform... They didn't even release a POI maker along side it.

They never do, they need time to strip licensed components and other things they can't release in the editor to us. Waiting for that to be done would mean delaying the release, so they launch the game first and the CK later. They did the same thing with Skyrim and fallout 4, so we were expecting the same thing here. Hence the expected 4-6 month wait we have based on those titles

i dont remember when the modding tools for oblivion and fallout 3 released but the tools for skyrim and fallout 4 also were released about 3 to 5 moths after the games released.

Mod tools advertised since 2018. LOL. Just have to sit back and laugh. Good times. :steamhappy:

Most of the modders and Youtube channels have had their hopes ground into dust except a few bitter holdouts getting trolled by competition ruthlessly alot like these forums.

Maybe the DLC will be amazing though and thats quite possible.

Starfield wasnt ruined utterly like some of the competition, and the bullies know that now and are not happy.

I am not holding my breath on the DLC being amazing with what was released unless its a 2.0 full rework. The DLC will be more of the same. and likely some things that were stripped out of the game before release... like biggers ships. M class ships. bigger ship size in general. Extra story lines. and even full side quests.

Well at least Starfield is playable unlike so many other games and some care enough to complain and or cheer and things.

Who can tell how it will go its very interesting. :steamhappy:

Might not be until the DLCs come out (assuming there are DLCs)

Looking at Fallout 4 and skyrim... Yes. they have content they have cut out of the game . from guns, to ship parts, to quests. and even locations.

By the end of the year, few people will still be playing Starfield. It's not 2015 anymore. Installing mods takes work and people are quickly moving on to the next titles.

The mod managers are getting the updates they need. the only issue is making sure the mods are labled to go in to the right place.

Then again Its not a multiplayer always online. Its a single player game so there is no need for consecutive players to be on... only that products were moved.

No Bethesda game had mod tools on release afaik, and it being a few months down the line isn't unusual in the slightest.

Never have released it at the same time as the game. Bethesda use the tools right up to the last minute before they even considering making them user friendly enough for the general populace. Also some of the time, the dev tools are not even in one tool set. It might be two or three separate ones that need merging in to one pack.

Well
Creation kit is here but
there isn't any docs yet about how the textures work
or how the ship modules work
so it will be a bit before ppl can use it much
