    The game is a decade old. I get the feeling that most mods will never be updated.

    Downvoters should go check out the Stellaris mod graveyard. So many good mods gone forever.

      Damn, you’re right, it’s almost been a decade already. I honestly thought it was younger than that.

            Might as well just throw me in a retirement home while you’re at it, kid.

        Basically the issue is that every six months they break all mods. Many projects over the years got abandoned after an update, or they were just never able to make progress because every six months they’d have to spend weeks patching.

        There are some big mods still, but they’re mostly just content additions. Anything that does overhauls, or has lots of overlapping systems, is doomed to failure unless they want to target a specific version of the game and never update. There was a big story mod awhile ago that decided to lock the game version that they supported, but it died when some dependencies updated to the new game version.

        Modders work in their free time, so they can only make real progress when they have a stable base for a long long time.
