True, but that has nothing to do with not allowing mods.

The game is in early access. They won't touch the possibility of adding mods officially, or even think of a steam workshop until the game is released or near release.

by that i meant officially supported ones. i'm not talking about not allowing people to get some form of unofficial loader to do it.

Setting up and maintaining workshop support for a game is by all accounts a whole other game's worth of work. Might as well change engine midstream.

You can outside of unsecured websites like nexus and what ever websites out there. I wouldnt trust much for the mods coming from outside of Steam workshop, seen enough the garbage people do with mods when they are not checked properly. If a game is on Steam, is possible to mod and has no access to Workshop, its pretty fudged up.

change engine mid stream?

You can officially support mods without a workshop. The workshop just a medium.

it doesn't feel official outside workshop and or hosted by the devs.

Like trying to switch from Unity to Unreal after years of development. *Glances sideways at Night Dive Studios*

I kinda understand the desire for something official. But at this time and age.. I dont see the need wasting precious developer time for something that gets done by passionate community members or hobby modder.

I dont even remember one game besides cities skylines that support it lol.

I also can't offhand recall an incident of malware hiding out in game mods. Sometimes in the download hosting sites and their bit.ly ads but that's a universal browser security issue.
