Modding Support

Supported tools and API for modding. This'd give users much more creative freedom, allowing them to express their ideas without begging the devs to add something (which, let's be honest, they won't). I feel A Township Tale is the perfect game for modding, as there aren't many VR survival games which scratch some developers' itch. It'd also give some servers their own unique flair, for example, some might have their own exclusive mods which add certain things such as gamemodes, objectives, enemies, materials, items, mechanics, maps, or even bosses! I feel this would be a great use of Alta's time, as the amount of content generated by the community would easily outweigh Alta's content which might take the same amount of time to develop as a modding API. This is something I've wanted since the very beginning, but I've not heard many people discuss it. The devs have already said they do not show interest in modding, but if the idea is popular enough, I feel we can push them to do it.

I have to agree with MarvelousGenki here, this could break functionality of servers beyond altas repair. None the less, this is a cool idea but a bad thing to implement into ATT.
I’m content with ATT bot development.

Offering players the possibility to mod an entire server and intervene in the map, mechanics, items and monsters, however, bears the risk that inexperienced modders damage their server or suddenly bugs and lag appear, which are then loudly complained about.
Alta can no longer ensure a functioning game if they always have to fix all kinds of bugs caused by the users.

MarvelousGenki: Agreed. This is what happened with string tools and they bricked so many servers they got removed.

Isn't there already mods on PC? Like the Voodoo mod?

Warentan: I mean mods which modify the client and server itself, not bots that run commands. Voodoo works by having a bot communicate with a client application, sending commands to a server. It’s very clever for what can be done, but it can’t add or change any hard coded content like enemies, maps, programming, or any of the other things I listed minus some mechanics. I just feel developing tools for modding would be a much better use of time than just ignoring the community and adding whatever they’d please. It’d also boost the game’s playerbase a whole bunch.
