Odd that they release the dev kit on EGS for something it doesn't even support lol

That's because the ark dev kit is derived from unreal engine which belongs to Epic, the launcher was always primarily only unreal engine and a few select games like fortnight until this recent year

Yeah I get that part. But it seems rather pointless to have the mod dev kit available on a platform that can't even utilize it yet. But hey while I have you, do you know of any ETA on when the EGS version of ARK can be played with mods? Does one need to wait for Epic to release their "mod workshop" variant on the EGS, or is this something can be done internally beforehand?

Unfortunately I don't have an ETA yet on that. It's something that's being worked on, but the underlying system to support mod distribution and management is something that epic is building, not us.
