^^^ what they said^^^

The devs said on YouTube recently that they do want to add official mod support at some point, but probably not using Steam Workshop because that would exclude those who play on Epic Games

[Munin]

Vectorspace is absolutely correct!

[Uraoen]

So because Epic Games is limited, Steam users don't get it easy.

Why not? It's not like having Workshop on Steam restricts them from having another solution for Epic.

Its gonna just split and shatter the community. The outside site is the same for both platforms (EGS and Steam), but if you have Steam Workshop, then nothing guarantees that there are the same mods available for both platforms.

Latest (I think) word from the devs on mods and Steam Workshop: https://youtu.be/VshaC16CO0w

It would be nice to have blueprints tho, on things like steam workshop, or anywhere where we can download and install single blueprints. Mods I prefer using the mod manager anyway

True, but it does demand that mod developers either pick one platform, or have to maintain two different packages and mod systems.

And the devs would have to maintain two different mod systems

Well, it would really be good if they even added a platform within the game itself where you can download the mods regardless of the platform you are on.
A clear example of this is the Paradox company that within some games there is even an option to install the mods regardless of the platform they are on.

That won't exclude anyone because anyone that doesn't have the game on steam can still get steam mods....

People are familiar with how to get steam mods without even having a steam account, this isn't 2010 still lol.

Really no reason for this, epic game store exclusion isn't really a good reason.

But, I do think in "this" games case, their mod page & app lay out for it are better than steams workshop, so it's fine. The app makes it way easier than steams workshop to find mods you want.

"normally" though.... this is a mistake for games to do.
The issue is the reasoning, it excludes no one.

Good reason would be "Our app & page are nicer than steams workshop". That's valid at least
