Today we released patch v.0.5.3 which includes the first iteration of Mod-support. We’ve been testing Mod-support for a few weeks on the experimental branch, so there’s already a few Community made mods in the Steam Workshop for you to try!
Here’s two very cool community made mods created by Digger1213 and Thinzy:
Aether Tech
(Created by Digger1213)
This mod adds a new part and block themed around the Aether. How it works... that’s best explained by the creator himself:
“Adds the Aether Ripper, a machine capable of tearing holes in the aether itself using large amounts of steam from a boiler. Aetherium plates are pulled towards these tears, allowing for unique machine and weapon design!” – Digger1213.
Here’s an example of a custom-made weapon that is using the Aether Ripper and Aetherium plates:
Space battle: The Game
(Created by Thinzy)
This mod includes a small arcade-alike mini-game for you to play with. Although this mod is somewhat advanced, it’s quite easy to set up: Simply connect a lever to the grey input, press down and you’re playing! As a small bonus, Thinzy added two different outputs allowing you to chose what should happen if the player either loses or wins the game. Here’s Thinzy's own idea of a punishment for losing:
Space battle: The Game on Steam Workshop
Create a mod!
If you’re into modding yourself, we would love to see what you can create. For more information on how it works (including the API) please look at this post and be sure to join our very helpful Discord Community.
We hope to see many more mods in the future. So be sure to upload your mods to the Steam Workshop!
