Friday is upon us once again and it\u2019s time for another Devlog!<\/p>\n
This week we are going to focus in on modding\u2026 Everyone loves a good mod, including us!<\/p>\n
Whilst work continues hard on the Major Content Update we have also been working on opening up the modding capabilities. Over the past weeks, some of the team have been working on the modding tools, code and API to give modders a plethora of new tools and options.<\/p>\n
As we write this the team are hard at work on a preview build that includes some major modding features that will allow the modding community to take their mods to a whole new level.<\/p>\n
This preview build (1.2.0) will be available on a public preview branch in Steam (Betas) whilst we work with the modding community to stress test the new features.<\/p>\n
If you are a modder and would like to test the new update, you can provide feedback and chat with other modders on our Discord Server<\/a> where we have a dedicated channel<\/a>\u00a0for feedback of the preview build.<\/p>\n To gain access to the preview build on Steam: To gain access to the preview build on GOG: Some of the new features include:<\/p>\n We have also included a new mod example that will show the possibilities of new modding features.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s more! You can check out the full list of new features as well as check out the modding documentation on the modding wiki here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Good question! Any mods created for the preview build will not be available in the main branch of the game but both the preview build and test channel<\/a>\u00a0on Discord are open to all players so you can keep an eye on progress and if you would like to test the mods and the build you are welcome to join us.<\/p>\n Once the preview has been thoroughly tested (and fixed if needed) we will move it to the main branch and modders will then be able to add their new mods to mod.io<\/a> for integration into the game.<\/p>\n Here is a first look at one of the new buildings you will find in the upcoming Content Update.
