As a result of this there are a large number of mods out there for Empyrion that are absolutely not compatible with the current version of the game. They introduced Workshop support early on. Primarily because the Workshop is not designed to support EA.Īgain I will throw Eleon under the bus here. Steam has no built-in method to check that the mods are compatible with the current version of the client. Version checking is only for updates to the mods. if they just say 'sorry other priorities right now! Want to finish the game ASAP' fine by me.

Workshop wont ever be 'safe' or 'easy to use', but it would make modding more accessible, without needing 4 different tools. Honestly! If you install more than one mod, it can break the game. If you mod a game with no idea what it does, that is not on the devs. Releasing one Alpha every 8-15 Months is PLENTY of time for devs of mods to work it out.Īnd people that want to mod will mod anyways. That is why versioncheckers are in place. I believe you and I believe that this is their view and maybe their idea of quality control.īut I have seen mods that update biweekly have a steamworkshop and more. Steam Workshop is a planned feature once the game is done.
