Hello, Miners!
Thanks for all your continued feedback on the planned modding support. We have followed all the discussions around this subject and had a lot of discussions ourselves.
We know that some of you were worried initially that needing a separate save game for mods would make playing with mods a frustrating experience. And when we removed that requirement, some of you were worried that the ranks and promotions you had worked so hard to achieve would be indistinguishable from those of players that just boosted their ranks through modding shortcuts.
We completely understand both these concerns. We also share them. The goal is still the same: Playing with mods should be a fun and safe experience, and not dilute the hard work and dedication that you have put into your ranks. That is why we have decided to postpone modding support from Update 34 and release it on its own in Update 34.5 later. We need some more time to strengthen our solution for modding support, and we believe giving the project this extra time will be best for everyone in the long run.
We completely understand if you are a bit disappointed, we were looking forward to this feature as well. But remember that all other features announced for Update 34 will still be released on April 22nd.
We are looking at multiple options for how we can have great modding support while keeping the integrity of the progression system intact. We will keep you updated as we get closer.
Rock and Stone!
With Love,
The Ghost Ship Crew
