📋 About This Mod
With the upcoming Maintenance of Way update getting closer, development and updates for my current map mods will be put on hold for the time being. I would rather avoid spending a lot of time expanding the current versions if much of that work may need to be rebuilt shortly afterward.
Once the experimental branch becomes available, I plan to jump in, test the new tools, and start learning the in-game editor properly. Rather than simply porting everything over, I am currently leaning toward rebuilding at least some of the larger mods from scratch, using what I have learned from the existing versions.
The goal would be to create cleaner and more modular releases, with a vanilla-balanced foundation and optional add-ons for players who prefer more complex industries and heavier operations.
Nothing is being abandoned — this is more of a pause before the next generation of the projects. There may even be a broader relaunch and a new shared identity for some of them once the new system is ready. 🐻🚂
Hopefully, I will have a few things ready by the time the update reaches the main branch. 🙂
