mods will not use Steamworks
Cross-platform mods confirmed? Is DRG joining the hall of unlikely companions?
- Skyrim
- Fallout 4
- Surviving Mars
- Surviving the Aftermath
- Farming Simulator 2019
- Deep Rock Galactic, Soon™?
Well, this is more to say that there is no Steamworks support in this initial version. It might come later, though.
Will the "modded realm" savegames not allow you to progress, like on Vermintide? or will they just be exactly the same but not interchangeable?
If the former, is it possible to get mods that don't lock out your save -- e.g. modding support for custom jukebox songs on the space rig wouldn't allow you to cheat anything, but wouldn't lock you into the modded realm also? Or perhaps for mods that change the texture of weapons (since this wouldn't be a cheat either)?
I believe you can progress, but only in modded games. It’s a safety precaution since it’s easy to mod in extra resources, and we don’t want anyone to have their game ruined by something like this. Cosmetic mods shouldn’t fall into this category.
What does it take to make a mod for this game, anyone know?
Depends on what you want to do. You’ll probably need to learn a bit about how pak files work in Unreal.
To clarify, the official mod support will include three mod categories; "cosmetic", "serveronly", and "requiredbyall" (names are not final).
Cosmetic mods are mods that only you can see. This could be minor UI changes, HUD modifications, anime profile pics, or meme sound bites.
Server-only mods are mods that change the basic rules of the missions, like the amount of gunk seeds in the level, nitra- cost for resupplies, etc,
Requiredbyall mods are mods that will change the character, like giving the engineer more turrets, etc.
Cosmetic mods will have no influence on gameplay as such, and will not be separated. The other two categories can change the gameplay and will prompt you to play on a separate save game, either a clone of your unmodded save or a fresh save. You can always copy your unmodded save to a modded save slot, but not the other way around.
Modded savegames can't see unmodded games, and unmodded savegames can't see modded games. The idea...
Xbox/Win10 1-2 weeks after
Edit: updated the Xbox release windows as we realized we might need a bigger buffer.
No. Get back to work, miner.
(well done, though ^^ )
No, the grabber is Larry. Larry the Cave Pedophile. Yes that's his name, I looked it up.
Excuse me, what?
Even with a deep dive full of nitra I don’t think you could get this much. But I have seen something like this in a modded game
It’s possible. With two players they’ll have a surplus of nitra at the very end, and if the scout doesn’t take any of the supply drops, each supply drop will let him restock to full twice and they can have around 10 drops at that point.
