Hopefully the mod tools wont be as disappointing as the witcher 3 “modkit”, KC:D would be an amazing foundation for mod makers.

Hey, why don’t you guys release the required files to load the game inside the CryEngine SDK/editor?
There is no need for any custom tools, they are readily available and we just need a way of using it with KCD.
The modding community is already hitting the limits of what can be done without any tools.
If we don’t gain access to them in the near future, the mod community will be dead.

Having the tools available would allow moders to clean up the condition of the game a lot of faster.
We can’t expect anything extravagant for a long time but having the tools would help.
The scaling of Henry and the fact the AI has no way to deal with the scaling is game and immersion breaking. Henry turns into superman. Even though strides are being made at Nexus and certain discoveries have been made to help balance the game, it’s going to take WAY longer with out some sort of tools.

As far as I know the ball is still at crytek… I wonder when there will be an update from WH about the state of things

Very discouraging. I had hoped that this game was going to be a true Bethesda competitor. I was really excited to develop and test mods on this beautiful map. I will be sure to avoid any paid DLC until tools are out and reviewed. For that matter, I will be sure not to buy another game that promises descent mod support until there is real evidence of it actually happening.

They are currently working on it (“mod support“)
Next patch…in a week i guess ?
Well the patch is released. No sign of modding tools
Signed up but it seems that one cannot engage in posts there and comment or anything… This is my first time on Discord, so I have no idea what I’m doing, however, I am a 3d artist, modeler, and animator that really wanted to get involved in this game as it has such amazing capabilities but little to offer in mod support. I have figured out how to add in custom items and models but am learning CryEngine now to learn how to place them in the world (like a coordinate spawn location during initial load phase) and not simply using a console command to force spawn them. I figure that I could create .exe type mods that correctly install themselves simply enough, but having a lot of trouble finding any starting spots, and have had to more or less invent my own methods off the cuff… I have done some contributions on Nexus helping people with instructions on how to mod existing assets but I want to install new assets. I just believe that this game has such excellent potential for expansion…

Has anyone got an update on the modding tool situation? Still dead silent from the developers?
I’m really excited to start working on mods for this game, but it seems like such a hastle to download cryengine and figure out everything that way. This will disencourage a lot of modders, i think, and this game will have a much shorter lifespan than for example skyrim and other games, that has modding tools implimented.
KC:D has sooo much potential, really hope the developers decide to release the tools… 
If you had taken a peek at the DLC chart that has been repeatedly shown modding tools are not scheduled to be released for pc until late 2019. As the last release.
Late 2019? Wow, that’s a long time to go…
I just joined the community and bought the game yesterday so i dndn’t know about that.
Well is the workaround (aka modding through cryengine) a solid way of modding or do you believe it’s better to wait for the modding tools to release?
if you can keep up with changes made by frequent patches give it a try. There are a lot of orphaned mods on nexus that people like but have not been updated in months and now cause BIG problems. that’s where you could do a solid for the users. You could look at them and make your own work arounds for them. example: cheat mod: use own all stolen items causes CTD. but the rest still works. The ashes DLC DOES NOT like mods and the mods will screw up the DLC

I don’t see why not. My current PC almost can’t run the game itself unfortunately, so i’ll be buying a new one when the next paycheck rolls around. I could give it a go when the new PC is finished, i’ll be sure to post updates!

be sure the CPU you get has at least 8-12 threading and the best board for that CPU. and uses ddr4 and the latest PCI-E gen3 or better slot.
This game uses streaming build on the go so taxes the cpu more than you are use to.
Also you can thank the digital coin miners for the current price of Nvidia 1080 or equivalent GPU or any decent gamming GPU for the skyrocketed prices.
edit: corrections

I operate at 5-30 fps depending on where I am and at mostly medium settings. I know of what your saying.
Do you mean how many cores the CPU has? The current one i’m looking at has 6, but i have money to upgrade. the GPU is a nvidia 1060, felt that the others as you said where wayy overpriced. I’ll be sure to get ddr4 ram.

and what is PCI gen3? Is that something seperate i have to buy or is it included in the latest motherboards?
edit: The Motherboard i’m currently thinking of buying has PCI-E 3.0, does that work aswell?
Sry , PCI-E is what I meant. It is the slot the GPU goes in and is the data highway between the CPU and GPU and great if it the one closest to the cpu. The MOBO has to be able to use DDR4 if used, a DDR3 using board can’t.
Threading is the number of channels the CPU has for the inflow and out flow of data to and from the CPU to handle. Think like the difference of traffic handled between a 4 lane road and 12 lane highway with same amount of cars as the on the 12 lane but crammed onto the 4 lane. Which would handled the traffic better?
As to cores; 6 is ok if it has good threading and good mobo, and 8 cores with 12 threading IMHO is better to handle the load. Especially if you are the player that insists on very high to ultra settings or 90 FPS.
High quality fast memory couldn’t hurt in at least 2x 4 gig sticks but I’d go 2x 8gig sticks ( 2 sticks because it is more paths for memory to flow) and 8 gig on the Vram.
Radion or NVidia is up to you for a GPU. I warned about pricing. Mebbe a 1070 or equal instead. Lucky if you can get a used one from an upgrader or tech shop that upgraded a customers and wiling to sell.
