Lets Mod!

[Kid Zombie]

So I was poking around in the Des.Sol folder in Steamapps and found all the pieces of the game right there in the open and thought to myself "oh my, I could just make my own ships and replace the ones in the directory file"

Has anyone else tried modding the game?

@the Developer -- Would you mind if we mod some? Can you provide us with any tips or resources? Thanks for listening and making a cool game for free!

I'm trying to figure out a way to boost hyper jump speed. When you use the station to reach the other system, you basically stare at the screen for 3 minutes

It would be really nice if you could make ships and planets yourself with steam workshop or something like that

Hey folks! Thanks for the interest in modding!
I'm thinking of writing and publishing a tutorial for modding, hope it'll be here soon.
And for sure we're interested in adding worthy user content into the game!

Being that you're responding to posts nearly a year old ... some of this stuff may be out of date by now :-)

There's a basic modding guide on here now as a resource. And all the source code is on GitHub so that helps!

But (hear me out here, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ app store discussion system is cancer) what about us android peeps?
Will we get some sort of modding(or more reasonably just some way to easily download mods) system?

Really good question. Workshop is a fair bit more of an obvious option than anything in Google Play land.

With Terasology we're using a more generic module system not tied to the Workshop. The goal is to look at implementing this for Destination Sol as well. Since DS already works on Android maybe we'll get to see how the module system holds up there. I really don't know, but am curious to find out one day!

Workshop integration is one step beyond that, so perhaps that's good news. General modding comes before Steam :-)

I'd like to see a mod where you use the WSAD keys for thrust direction and the mouse to aim. Would make the game more playable in my opinion. I mean an advanced civilization with the ability to explore multiple systems should have figured out forward, reverse, and lateral thrust. Right? either way still a great game and hopefully someone can help me mod my game to do so. =)
