I'm for all of the above, as well as the second option for renaming [[Modding version 50.01+]] to [[mod]]. In previous versions/namespaces having an article for "mod" separate from "modding" didn't make much sense, since the mods weren't seen as units by the game, but rather were just collections of modded raws. That having changed, I think having one is warranted.

Yes, I suggest modding should be the portal. When I say 'portal' I simply mean the top page that helps organize all the resources on the topic (Think the 'Community Mods and utilities list' thread of bay12 modding), so new or advanced modder would know that they can find everything from there. --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 12:36, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Changes with new release[edit]

Currently we have

Any thoughts on how this should be handled with new release?


With the new content this article will soon be overwhelmed and be hard to navigate in. I think:

  • The modding guide section has enough content to warrant am entry on its own
  • We should have a modding portal that covers all relevant resources (documentation, resources, advice, guides, etc)
  • We should have an entry level access for people just looking to use mods.

New system limits[edit]
