who said i'm talking about current mods? when did i ever state that i would talk about current mods? read again what i actually wrote:You're right i don't understand what you're getting at because it doesn't make sense to me.
The game has a mod loader and organizer built in. Of the existing mods they aren't mods in the conventional sense of changing the game at it's base. They are added onto the game and don't change the core functions.
If you're asking for another website to list/describe the mods for you there's the wiki but otherwise nothing you've said makes sense to me.
see the word "future" there? it means that i'm talking about mods that don't exist yet, but might exist in the future that will cause problems with the current ones.i fear that one might become incompatible with other mods in the future.
and nope i don't want mods to use another website... wth. i just used github as an example, sigh. what i would like to see is, that modders throw their mods together and once all the incompatabilites are sorted out, modders then use this as a *base* to implement new mods. see it as a big fat library (the base [chemical term]) you can instantly access as a modder with certain rules attached to it so no foul mods can interfere with said base. only after sorting out incompatibilities it can then be applied to the base thus making the base grow. this will make it very easy for users to mod the game without having any problems and modders have a source to instantly see what mods are already present, what is working just fine and what can they use for their own mods without interfering with the base. a good mod organizer like mo2 can easily inject it into the game without overwriting anything, can give detailed desciption of any mods the base has included and even give you the ability to configure the mods the way you want them to be.
while the following example didn't do it the way i just described, the outcome is very much the same and shows how the end result would be like:
You must be registered to see the links
this is what i would call a very refined and well done base mod where all the mods included work perfectly together and don't interfere with anything. everything is packaged into one single big mod that can then be easily installed by the user.
now you don't have to agree with me there that we actually need it, neither now nor in the future. i just rarely stated my concern and thought about an idea on how it could be done. doesn't mean it has to be done.
