Modding Beta Branch Tropico 6
Dear Tropicans,
Exciting News!!
After a few weeks of carefully curating and raising the garden gnomes, the Tropican Ministry of World Domination and Garden Plots (The TM of WoDoGaP) is finally ready to release a modding beta to the public. This means:
Get ready for an enhanced gaming experience, as we introduce the functionality to use existing mods through the Steam Beta Branch. Our talented binary magicians have worked tirelessly to make this possible, and we can't wait for you to try it out!
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: This does NOT mean, that you can create mods on Steam or via Steam Workshop. For now, you will only be able to download and use existing mods via the Mod.io interface and the Mod.io website for your gameplay when using the Steam Beta Branch.
To find out how to access the modkit itself or create mods, please head over to our discord for more information.
