DST Future

[Mike23Ua]

I love how a thread about the potential future of DST became about mods,  Mods are not the future.

As far as what is- Only Klei knows but hopefully they’ll give us some juicy details in the 2022 Roadmap.

You wouldnt say the same if you had access to mods

The moment Klei stops putting out updates for DST, mods are the only future

Let me put it this way: Mods are a player created unofficial addition to the game, and while yes: Some Mods are cool enough to become official gameplay features- Majority of mods is just some particular “thing” that was a non-Klei developers project.

IF the mods that were being released were Klei official, then: and only then would mods be the future of DST, Because what I want to play is KLEI’S Vision- Not anyone else’s.

Its like if I wrote a story- and then someone else comes along thinking they can improve/rewrite it.

That’s not how stories work.. And the same applies to video games & mods- it’s unofficial content that wasn’t part of Klei’s vision.

So: I’ll repeat it again, Mods aren’t the future of DST.. & Only Klei knows what that future is.

You misunderstood me.

AFTER Klei stops updating. No more official content. Ova.

Then the only new stuff will come from mods. They won't be canon, obviously. Just like there is more fanfiction for a movie or a book than the original author could dream of producing, there is/will be more content in mods than the Klei team could make. It's the natural progression. 

Nothing wrong if you cannot handle something that isn't canon. I have no problem reading fanfiction, even with the knowledge that whatever I'm reading wasn't the original vision. That's part of the charm you know. If you can't handle mods for the same reason, no problem, just don't discredit the effort that goes into making one. 

And yes I know you play on console and can't use mods. Nobody's problem but yours.

They are, tbh. Plenty of cool mods already exist, and as time goes on we’ll get bigger and better mods, content or QoL. They aren’t official but that doesn’t matter.
