there be steam workshop it seems like it's a no-brainer but there are actually a few reasons why we shouldn't have steam workshop support I don't know what we're going to be doing whether we're going to have it or not but here are the reasons for not having steam workshop first of all we don't want to fragment the modding community basically so not everyone that plays satisfactory has access to steam and or the steam workshop so we would prefer it if all of our mods were in one sort of repository that anyone can access regardless of what platform they're on kind of like what the unofficial modding community is already doing that would be great so people on steam people on epic whatever they'll be able to, use mods and if we have two different things we have steam workshop and this other global thing then it means people well one it means we have more work to do and two it also means people who are making mods have more work to do because if they want everyone to be able to use it they're gonna have to target steam and this other thing some people might not, target the global one and just target steam and then now we've fragmented the the community so only some people get access to certain mods and we don't want that we would rather have a level playing field for everybody kind of what the unofficial modding community is already doing we're you know that's that's, that's useful to see what they've been doing, so that we can find a good solution ourselves when it comes to it and also like you might be saying yeah but steam workshop is super convenient and it is but but but don't don't don't count out the, the satisfactory mod manager that the modding community has made so far that thing is super super easy to use and super convenient so like there there are convenient solutions for everybody, without steam workshop we'll see what happens in the future when that happens but I don't think I don't think steam workshop shop is is a necessity I don't think it has to be, implemented in order for there to be a good mod solution are we influenced by mods so, it sort
