BTW this is not something exclusive form DST... any mod friendly game has a lot of mods that most people don't like.... but that's not reason to ask for a "cleansing" ... people are free to do and share the mods they want... mods are optional and free anyways there is IMO only one very critical issue that Steam needs to address: copy paste mods... that is actually stealing from original creators ...

minespatch Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've been waiting for mods that use NPC Maxwell's anatomy. Like maybe Charlie and Inn Keeper. They might be taller than the usual character design but it'd be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt. KatKit Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I don't think Klei should remove any mod unless it is breaking general guidelines. In fact this game's workshop is much less.. weird than some other games. I don't even dare look at the darkest dungeon's workshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADM Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Well, my opinion is that it's Steam fault that make the Workshop a single space for any type of mods, but you can't judge the skills of everyone, they try their best most of time So even if my mods are drowned by "PERSONNAL MOD, DO NOT USE" or sans, it's not a problem, you can subscribe to peoples and check author's workshops you like, that's what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1464576869 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 A purge is rather silly. To deny the displeasing state of the workshop is even sillier. I'm a bit out of the loop on this part but; what the heck, is there no top rated or most subscribed mods page? Or is that page just as garbage? The filtering seems broken and shifting randomly every day I'm in there. Zero stars among five stars. And how some mods get five stars is beyond my comprehension. By the by, elephant in the room, perhaps DS simply don't have a very large, talented or ambitious pool of modders to do good in the first place.

TurtleKitty Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'd rather there not be a purge of the mods. The only mods that should be removed are ones that are highly inappropriate or blatantly and intentionally illegal. What needs to happen is better systems of categorizing, tagging and voting. Tags for language, OCs, crossover characters, etc. And a way to exclude certain tags during a search. I think there's an area on the forums for mods and modding - maybe there's a way to use the forums to form categories of mods to improve searches for specific mod types?Pretty sure if I made a mod it would suck without commissioning an artist and a programmer. Lots of those making these mods fall under the category of not having excessive talent in these areas nor money to get help but desire to make their mod anyways. Instead of demonizing "poor" mods, we should seek to encourage improvement. As for languages, maybe have multilingual modders help provide translations. Knit the community together.

Pelontriques Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 i've been meaning to change the strings on a few mods (Pickle It, that Thirsty for Tea mod) because of weird lines that sort of tick me off, but i'd need to get permission. i've also been meaning to make my own mod that adds dandelions, but ehhhhhh. i'm lazy and need to learn how the code works.

That happens quite a lot unfortunately. People think other people's work is out for the taking just cuz "it's the internet". Most of the time modders are chill and allow people to use if properly credited if asked for permission, but alas people are too faul to even do that.

Well-met Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Considering most tutorials actively encourage you to upload empty test submissions on the workshop, the blame isn't entirely on the users. On 13/06/2019 at 2:52 AM, minespatch said: You'd think people would experiment with the mechanics of the game but the memes prove true about the needing for imagination. I made a char that auto destroys anything they touch like bearger or deerclops, even structures it's even better at ressource gathering than maxwell! But a complete nightmare to make a base with.

S19TealPenguin Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Wow! What a great Idea! Let's just start a crusade where anyone can remove anything they disagree with! I nominate removing @CrimsonEcho from the forums because they are making posts I don't like. This sounds like a wonderful idea that won't lead to anarchy at all.

TemporaryMan Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 On 6/13/2019 at 11:24 AM, x0VERSUS1y said: You can argue this: Steam Workshop is a market-place of ideas/concepts, potentially useful/fun software, and generally entertainment ..in a broad sense. You as a mod developer would want as much exposure for your product as possible and that includes being understood. Have you considered maybe that's what they're doing? A significant portion of the player base reads Chinese or Brazilian Portuguese, even if it's smaller than the portion that reads English. Writing the descriptions in one of these languages still reaches a large audience with the benefit of being written by someone fluent in the language, leaving the possibility for future translation open; if you were able to translate between Chinese and English, would you rather start with a text written in fluent Chinese, or a confusing mess in English? Regarding tags, something that hasn't been discussed yet is whether it'd be useful to allow people viewing a mod to vote to add tags, so that the workshop isn't entirely reliant on the mod authors adding them when they publish. 23 hours ago, S19TealPenguin said: Wow!
