It has been a long road to get here, with modding interest for the game starting on the very first day of Early Access in 2017. We are excited to announce that after #265 updates, we are now inviting any mod creator who wants to get in, test out the tools and start creating mods to come aboard and get busy!
As of Update #265 we've finished the prep work for modding and released it in a beta branch for creators to pick up and try. If you want to give it a shot, join the modding creators beta group and we can't wait to see what you create.
Things have been rolling for less than 48 hours and we have over 30 creators already on the tools and the first working content mods are starting to appear. We've even had an enterprising community member step forward to write a Mod Manager (thanks @TheWelp!) to help us improve the tooling. The wikis is growing up quickly with more and more data and great examples coming online (thanks @phara0h!)
Ever dreamed of an Empty Slot component? Ever wanted a better Palace Interceptor? Just wanted more faction armbands for your characters? The modding community is in the kitchen and cooking up a galactic storm. We cannot wait to see what you create!
If you are a mod creator please join the modding creators beta group.
If you are a player interested in mods know that mods aren't far off and our amazing community is going to deliver -- as always!
