But, also hand on heart, I believe anyone who thinks using a mod to “correct” dev choices, or “fix the game” for that one time when a silent enemy gets them is genuinely kidding themselves. If the developers thought them necessary or even wanted them in game, they’d be there. Full stop.

What is this Logic ?! Fatshark enables mods but somehow they dont want mods? Could you please reprashe this because I think I dont understand you correctly.

Fatshark enables mods

what you mean they enable mods? you make it sound like they put effort into it
they allow modders to mod yes,
but have they actually put any effort into accommodating modders in DT? (on company time, devs helping buddies on free time doesn’t count) genuinely interested if someone is a modder or has some insight.
from my understanding they completely cut off any official support programs, usually providing mod support is a PR thing, it doesn’t provide any new monetization avenues, and as a result is only useful to garner goodwill (unless you’re totally out of touch cough* Ubisoft cough* Bethesda)
i suspect, while modded realm is beloved by its fanbase in the grand scheme of things, it didn’t get anywhere near the desired positive results they hoped they could get out of this and decided to scrap any involvement with modding.

what’s left are some people on the mod discord sometimes chiming in since they know each other from v2 times, but it’s a private actor.
or am I completely wrong here?

devs always put in exactly the desired amount of content in the desired amount of time.

pss silent* dont tell him about cut content

Yes. There is a dev who interacts on the modding Discord in an official capacity, answers questions, has provided some internal mod-related crash data, and I believe even helped fix/optimize an issue with the weapon customization mod (but I’m fuzzy on that).

Modding is almost entirely, as I understand it, possible due to the efforts of community members, but modding is only viable because FS continues to allow and encourage it with their stance on modding.

Thanks, What i meant is that like most games if a developer put effort in modding ai enable to you to mod said game and give support = they enable it.

Darktide is server side and yes you could mod it if you put effort in but I would be much harder if farshark did not support it. ( they bassicly made the game modable which is needed on most server games for it to work and be semi easy)

Hey, everyone! Happy New Year! I’ve been lurking around this week. I’ve seen this discussion carry on from another thread. I’m going to go ahead and lock this, as I don’t think there is too much else to say at this point. Thank you!
