I talked to some modders prior to the expansion release and they said they were all waiting on the expansion to update their mods. Everyone knew most of the mods were going to break. We now have to wait for modders to update their mods. May take some time.

Ya I figured it would take some time.

This post is just a heads up to people and an attempt to stop the inevitable "angry" posts that are probably still sure to come.

I have posted on the workshop pages for each mod that I have that are not working and have gotten a response from a few and even a few have updated already.

Most of the mods I launch will freeze up during game creation on the first try, but work fine after that.

I kind of only want 2 of your mods and you updated one already. Just waiting on: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1234065969

That mod still works fine on my end, but I've reuploaded it now.

I think most of the mods that stopped working can be "fixed" by re-downloading.

I suggest you try manually deleting your workshop downloads of mods that havn't been updated and see if they work again after that.

They can be found under:
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\392110\
then the number of the mod that you see in the Steam workshop page URL.

Thanks :)

I'm lucky I've got a few days off to get all my mods in order just after the DLC released.

I'm working on some new stuff too.
Got some bigger mods planned that will really add new dimensions to this game.

Would you be willing to do mods for the custom faction screen? like better traits and bonuses with more streamlined fidsi. I enjoy your mods and would like more diversity/options. Oh have you thought about making your own planet/system/node. you know kind of like adding a little signature in game. For example a node that has your name and gives specific bonuses based on what you like. Would be cool to run into something like Timmeh the black hole.

Edit: that way I can scream "TIMMEH!!!!! TIMMEHHH!!!!!" south park ref.

Hahaha... :)
I hadn't thought about that.

I'm more interested in adding new mechanics to the game.
I'm almost done with an expansion for Deep Space Mining.

After that I'll take a break from modding for a while, but I've got some ideas to revamp the economy and the tech tree, and making all system improvements more unique and powerful.

That's gonna take some time though.

I will be watching your mods eagerly.

@Timmeh

would you ever consider making a mod that reinvents the hero skill tree? i think heroes should focus on one thing. So a seeker should only have mobility, vision, and probes...things that help exploration and so on. Just curious, since you are my favorite modder rite now :P

Good Idea.

The hero skill tree could do with a remake.
Many of the skills seem like out-of place filler material.
I'd like to see the branches more streamlined to Governor, Fleet Command and Hero ship buff specializations.

That's very low priority for me right now, but I'll keep it in mind.

As long as you are interested, I am happy. Also thanks for responding back, makes me so happy to actually have a conversation. Any teaser on what you are working on? I am dying to know what next mod you will put out.

I'm not much one for spoilers.

Here's the full release:

Nice! Now another! lol :P

PS: Would you be interested in the idea of making a mod that removes the movement cost of expeditions? I never liked that part of the game. Bad enough it takes millions of turns to get to a system. I once had a mod that did this but it broke and it hasnt been updated since 2017.

PSS: What do you need or use to mod? I wonder if I could do some of these mods myself. I have never made a mod so no harm in trying.
