[Samurai Jugg]

We need more custom content

We have. Steam is just not the center of the universe.

Oh, nice. I just wanted to customize tapes in the game, or, if possible, add custom one myself. Thank you very much!

There will not be a steam workshop for this game. that would exclude those that have gotten the game from other sources... i.e. epic. ficsit.app will most likely be the only source for Satisfactory Mod's, extra's and goodies. Had you taken an extra 30 seconds and used the search function you would not of needed to clutter up the forums even more.

Not until CSS officially supports mods and until then there is the SMM for/and ficsit.app

Never will happen.

Because of Epic Games.

Steam Workshop isn't compatible - they don't cross talk - so you have to rely on the mod community to provide unification - which frankly is so much better imho.

Also to those who said "Not until CSS Officially supports mods..."

They support mods - duh.

They just may not do it the way "you" think they do it.

That not what Officially Supported means…. If you need a 3rd party tool like SMM, that isn’t official support.
The game itself needs a way you can enable and disable mods or a tool the devs themselves made for it to be official.

In the not coming to 1.0 video mod support was listed as one of those not coming, and remains to be true.

Fair point - but I've never heard them bash mods in my time of watching/playing the game ever.

So in that light - fair point - but it's not they outright reject them either.

They havent bashed mods and I do believe, i could be dreaming, Snutt has expressed at least person support for the existing mods.

Yeah this I've seen as well.

Whilst mods are not officially supported (they rarely are in games), like many developers they welcome mods from external and allow them to mod whatever they like to do.

However, I can understand why developers do not 'officially Support' mods, since they would have to deal with mods breaking games and a lot of headaches making sure that mods dont do anything dubious, which as paradox has just found out, this can be a bit of a challenge

So whatever you do to your game that isn't vanilla, the onus is on you and if it breaks, it breaks

In all fairness - this games tolerance of mods is extremely well put together and rather good. Not mod'd myself - but folks generally are quite happy with it.

No reason to mess with the system honestly.

I think what just happened with cities skylines is going to be a big talking point, its not modders, its those actors who like to mess and add viruses to the mods that are already up (and the authors don't know). The mods are what keeps games new and modern, they are a necessity for any games prolonged existence. Tho add a high chance of downloading viruses and scamming codes, its gonna hurt the modding community as a whole

That's ALWAYS been a risk - since the advent of downloading files on the net.

It's on people to look before they leap - to run a good strong anti-virus scanner/anti-malware when they download anything 3rd party.

And I'm not talking Windows Defender (what a joke) - but that's a different chat for a different day.

I'd also add it takes a good strong community to police and make sure they source good mods without infectious/malicious content. (Minus the drama :P )

Prob an another reason they didn't "officially" back mods - less liability/cost in dealing with the issue. (Granted the irony isn't lost on me in that I felt they basically did)

It only takes 1 "bad apple" to ruin the bunch - but frankly folks who pick up said apple should know to check before they take a bite as well.

Bottom line - it takes two to tango and to combat this issue in terms of keeping a good strong modding community.

And honestly with the length of time I've been around/played - its pretty strong - I'd not worry about it too much. (knocks on wood all the same)

Goes without saying - do the research - double check what your downloading - don't just click random links -all the usual common sense things.
