Update Speculation thread

I'm not against the idea of modders being paid for their work, but I'm glad it won't be something implemented by the devs. We all know how that went for Valve and Bethesda. I believe paying for mods should be through things like patreon exclusives, not something officially supported through the game.

 

Would mod makers get to see a list of their subscribers?

 

Depends you end up with people asking where you got that mod.

Hah he said sus!

 

dont correct a dev!!!

 

Dunno if you've seen this thread, but it might be worth a look. It's an interesting discussion with lots of differing opinions.

 

@Tommy1995 if there are gain in the map in the @Nadeox1 photo it s because he use @Car_Killer map

 

Go in page 260 or 261 for understand

 

He's talking about this post:

by @Tommy1995 that in turn refrences this post:

yes google traduction ruin my message

 

But why would the devs tease official content with modded content?

 

why not

 

It's a bit misleading.

 

It would cause confusion. Also, rain has been hinted at in the 0.9 changelog.

From the devblog "

• Rain objects: added to Industrial and Small Island"

Could this be actually hinting at legitimate rain?

 

maybe thats the point ( ⌐■ ͜ʖ ■ ) sneaky

 

Ok, thanks for the info.

But what are the "Rain Objects" mentioned in the devblog. I still can't find a difference in-game.

 

I'm pretty sure it's an object in the level editor, which you can enable to cause rain. I've used it before.

Also, going on a limb, it might be related to this picture. I remember finding the thread this was in. One of the devs said that she/he had made a decent rain texture by changing specular values.
