Mods adding new content
Is this going to happen ever? As it is, it looks like the game only supports altering content as no one has added anything new to the game. If you look at other great games that have modding, like Rimworld for example, modders are able to add completely new structures. New graphics, new models, new functions, everything. If this game is to survive for a long long time and keep pulling money in, the devs need to find a way to allow modders to start adding new content to the game like this. So we can start doing neat things like adding a structure that houses animals for leisure or even a butchery.

I want bathrooms!
I agree. I've managed to do some things that are a bit different, but it's definitely very limited...

I'd compare this game a bit with banished for a moment - now don't get me wrong not saying its super similar just both are base building sims - however when banished started to get mods was when it really exploded in sales - the challenges are nice the planets are nice the themes are nice - but I don't know that lack of custimization in a age of mods..... I really enjoy this game but its just soooooo similar each game - after 40 hours I'm just trying so hard to care about a new world

but add in the modder - he makes something the devs didn't want to add cause it is for a smaller group of gamers - maybe hard core waves of enemy combat - automated combat drones - a world the meteors never stop dropping - things no normal player could deal with - enter that strange breed of gamer who not only survives but thrives - they show videos others like them want to prove they to are strong and buy them game to show their stuff - so on and so on

ok sure this is a pretty simple arguement but I mean even if someone added 10decorations and 1 room a month the game would be huge within a years time with no cost to the devs for work people could mix and match all sorts of kits and really custimize the difficulty of the map and really try insane things making people come back for another round of play

while nexus is great for many games - were talking a bit different - I am a long time supporter of it as well as hosting mods myself there as well as here on workshop - it also requires knowledge of computers more then workshop and is a seperate service all togther

also workshop promotes a different style of modding for smaller games - I mean sure fallout 4 and skyrim and massive games like that with tons of players can afford to do nexas but smaller games need the workshop a bit more as it allows less computer savy players to join in and grow the content or at least find it

I mean good example is Kenshi - it has both workshop and nexas mods but if you look at the subscriptions and views the nexus only gets 1 in 10 views the workshop does and there is far more through the workshop then nexas

actually fertilizer to boost production would be pretty solid idea - think the movie the martian - you can't really import fertilizer by the ton cheaply (not to mention the hazard of a highly explosive substance in a oxygen rich envronment like a shuttle) and there isn't really anything on planet to make it..... but you do have colonist...... just saying

This is helpful, thanks. I was going to post a similar thread (I'm new to Planetbase) asking about possible Assets Modding. But what I see on Nexus should keep me busy for a while.

The stuff I find there always crashes my game, like, A LOT. So I don't like using it.
Opt_0™ 24 Jan, 2017 @ 9:35am 
Oh does it? Hmmm, maybe I'll use a bit more caution if I use them. Thanks.

One of the devs told me, that their new game is similar to planetbase, so they will not invest time in modding tools yet. The new game is, what modders might make out of planetbase. So its a strategic decision.

see I'd be fine buying a planet base 2 or something like that but I'm wishlisting it till I see the content this time cause after 40 hours (bought it in 2015) I kinda tossed this - where as rimworld (bought 2016 december) I have 300+ hours in cause it has mods

I mean these days mods for a sandbox game is almost a must have

Yea, I modded for Rimworld fora while too, but I have no one willing to help with the modding process anymore as I can't write DLLs. So I stopped.
