So I haven't been here for a while, are there mods yet?

[Ramm]

One thing that kinda made me stopped playing was the lack of mods with the game since there is only so much you can do gameplay-wise with the game. And now i'm wondering if there are any updates about that.

It's still a bit weird that it was all going so well in the modding thread and then suddenly the thread got locked 'by authors request' and you hear nothing about it anymore, so i'm wondering are we still getting mods and what does Frontier think about mods or is it finished?

 

[LN]

Nope, no mods, probably because only 2-3 people are/where working on it. I don't believe Frontier shut it down, I think progress was so slow on making mods that it took to much time to achieve a descent result.

But then, Gregor is the one who could give us more information.

 

[tyczj]

Geez you and mods.....

How many times does it need to be said that frontier has no problem with mods.

We will get mods when we get them, if you want them faster then create them yourself

Then Frontier needs to support them for us to be able to create it because right now only gregor was able to do something and the mysteriously disappeared without saying anything.

So it's not weird that people ask these questions.

That other thread about Planet Coaster mods was locked solely on request of Gregor. Frontier had nothing to do with the decision to lock that thread.

So they say... But yet they still don't give us the ability to add custom models to the game. All we have are premade bill boards where we can add an image or a webm. It's really a shame the thread is locked because that just screams they want to keep it on the downlow. When I asked gregor in PM he told me had to do with EULA but didn't want to post about it on the forums and I dont wanna speak for him with leaves me in a pretty nasty situation because for me it feels people, especially paying customers, deserve to know. Thats why i've been hinting for some sort of statement but neither gregor or frontier wants to give it. Then I tried to forget about it and now I came back because I feel frustrated about where Planet Coaster is, or isn't going.

Cant expect me to just let it go.

That's why i'm losing my patience after all these years. I purchased Early Bird 2 years ago because of all the nice future promises about mod support for example on the early frontier youtube videos and I cant help to feel a little frustrated after all this time. I mean i've waited 2 years, supported this game on here, steam, other forums, everywhere on the internet and like I said i'm just losing patience and don't wanna say I feel lied to but I think frontier should be honest about this now.

The gameplay is pretty much nonexistant and how many years do we still have to asked about spline based fence tools?

If they just added mod support back then we would have had 50% of all suggestions by now. But no imagine if someone uploads a frontier created model somewhere that would bankrupt them. Because afterall, that's the gut feeling i'm getting with all of this.

Hope you understand

I can understand your frustration, but be a bit more patient with that. I still trust that Frontier will do the right thing. It may take a while and maybe we even get official modding tools from them. Who knows. I won't go into the Gameplay Argument you made because i feel that would derail the Main Point of this Thread.

No they don't, just because they said they don't have a problem with mods does not mean they have to officially support them. All that means is they are not going to do anything to actively prevent them

Take your tinfoil hat off please.

Besides what you are really concerned about is UGC which isn't a mod. There are more concerning things about the game that should be worried about than being able to import a custom model

 

[Joël]

So they say...

Exactly, so they said.

As it currently stands, Frontier has no issues with mods being developed by players. If and when Frontier thinks it’s becoming a problem, then they will act how they seem fit for their own property and in order to protect their sales. An example of mods becoming a problem would be if players find a way to unlock DLC content without paying for that content.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

I don't expect Frontier to actively "support" modding/asset importation until they are done supporting the game with DLC.
Then, I hope they offer a slick mod/asset "app" for purchase, which would allow them develop it further beyond release.

Some people need to go to the dollar store and buy a couple boxes of patience. [haha]

 

[LN]

Did they promise mod support?

 

[Citytrader]

As tyczl said, I think you may be confusing mods with UGC. As I recall, UGC was discussed frequently during alpha, but not mods. I could be wrong there. Regardless, at this time, there is no official support for either. And why on earth does Frontier need to come clean with you? Because you spent a few bucks? So did I, as did everyone else on here, I assume. You got early access (which is what you paid for), the game itself, and four free updates. Is this not enough for your $50 or so bucks?

And seriously, the game has been out about fifteen months. Since mods are not officially supported, it could take quite a while to crack the code. The fact that one person has done it is great, but if he chooses not to continue, that is his choice. He does not owe you anything. It took the community almost three years to crack RCT3, just as an example, so as Bitter Jeweler said, perhaps it's time to go buy a couple boxes of patience.

So to clear the air on that thread... Gregor reported his own thread, asking for his modding thread to be closed. The moderators passed the request over to me to close the thread. As such, I closed the thread as per our moderation policies.

There is legitimately nothing more to the threads closure than that. [happy]

Okay, but that doesn't mean:

There's obviously more to the thread closure than that, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't insult our intelligence by expecting us to believe otherwise. [sulk]

 

[Sawyer1]

Calm down.

Modding must be seriously tricky to do and maybe it's just not ready yet? I am on the fence about modding but as I believe it said said above, if you want it so bad then why don't you attempt it? In the mean time I'd advice you don't talk to people the way you did. People tend not to help people who make rude remarks.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

It's obvious you are making more of it than it is. [rolleyes]

 

[gregorburns]

As far as I'm aware the OP of that thread asked for it to be closed. I could be wrong [weird]

 

[inspectorgadget1]

A feature you want is not in the game and you're unhappy it's still not added? You're being completely unreasonable with your demands. Throwing your toys out of the pram for not getting what you want when you want it isn't going to get you anywhere. And expecting major developments on mods in a couple of months is crazy, give it a couple of years at least...

 

[tyczj]

The OP of that thread is clearly in cahoots with the dev's to cover something up [wacky]

Ok what is the thing that makes it so obvious then?
