- Agreed. In the official Modding Guide, Keen mentions that they eventually want 3 different types of customization, all of which technically exist now but still need to be completely fleshed out. These three are in-game Scripting (which we just got), workshop-friendly API Modding, and then *.dll modding, roughly in this order from least to most impactful/difficult. At the very least we need things to be divided along those three lines. I'm thinking further divisions could also exist for Mechanics, Guides, and Documentation, which would explain, respectively, What This Is And How to Use It, Changing Things 101, and References, roughly targeting most players, new modders, and experienced modders.
