Are there mods for Endless Space 2, and if so, is there a tutorial on how to mod the game?

The title pretty much says it all. I ask because I play a lot of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion with mods, and I'm thinking that ES2 would have some good mods, but I'm not sure if it even CAN be modded. Does it have mods, and are they any good/easy to get working? (P.S. Yes, I know about Sins of a Solar Empire 2, but it isn't out yet.)

Yes, lots of mods, and it's just through the steam workshop so it's easy to do.

All you have to do is subscribe to the mods you want in the Steam Workshop, then in the game you'll go to the mods menu and pick which mods you want active, and what order they are in.

The game won't remember what mods you have active, but you can just hover the mouse over mods, then click "last mod configuration" so you can re-load your last game.

My personal favorite is the ESG 1.6 mod because it balances and fixes a ton of stuff.

If you are using the dark matter dlc you should definetly install the mod which fixes the bugged " Death without a corpse" quest. I think the ESG mod also fixes it.

What kind of mod are you interested in making?

Gads I completely read that first post wrong... I thought how to use mods, not how to make mods, sorry!

[Tactical Catgirl]

Probably should have specified this for context, but I don't plan on making mods, only using them. I have no coding or modelling experience, and I'm honestly not into making mods.

Most modifications come down to editing the .xml files of the game, it's not very difficult.

I don't understand the TC, go to workshop tab>subscribe to mods>???>profit.
Inside the game there's a menu option to enable them. Is mostly Click & Go.

SOASE doesn't support the workshop, so the OP might not be familiar with the workshop.
