Hi everyone,

Mod Support is here for The Colonists!

You can now create, share and play custom buildings, resources, ores, flora, research and more on Steam Workshop. Activate local or subscribed mods when starting random maps, sandbox games or when creating custom maps in the map editor.

Check out the Community Wiki for information on how to get started making mods, access to the base json and some example mods. You can also join the #modding channel on our Discord server for help and tips.

There's plenty to experiment with and try out as well as more to come, so if you have any feedback, suggestions or issues I'd love to hear them on Discord or at http://mailto@dev@codebyfire.com.
