Hey everyone, welcome to our new forum! Here is everything that's new.

💬 Forums. We have launched community forums, with boards, topics, attachments, reactions, and quoting. It is a place to ask questions, share builds, get help with mods, and just hang out with other players. We are also hoping this will make bug reports, save uploads, and general feedback easier for everyone.

🛠️ Mods are here. You can now upload, browse, and download mods directly on the Hub, just like you have been doing with blueprints and maps. Each mod gets its own page with versions, descriptions, screenshots, ratings, and a dedicated forum board that the mod author runs and moderates themselves. Modders can also post announcements on their mod page to keep players informed about updates and known issues.

⛑️ A note on mod safety. Every uploaded mod gets a basic automated look-over so we can spot obvious red flags. We want to be upfront here: this is early days, and we cannot reliably tell a safe mod from a malicious one yet. Mods legitimately use reflection and other techniques that also happen to be the techniques you would use for bad things, so the signal is noisy. Treat community mods the same way you would treat any third party code, and use your judgement. We will keep working on smarter checks over time.

💿 Game version tracking. Mods declare which game versions they support, and the Hub knows about Captain of Industry's release history, so you can see at a glance whether a mod matches the version you are playing.

💻 A much better text editor. We have replaced the old markdown editor with a proper rich text editor, and rolled it out to blueprint and map descriptions, forum posts, and mod pages. It does formatting, lists, links, images, quotes, code blocks, and emojis. Same editor everywhere, so the experience is consistent.

🕹️ And one more important thing. We have meticulously built the Hub to understand mods, their dependencies, and everything around them, so that in the near future we can plug it into the game directly. Imagine your mods updating automatically, or installing them straight from the game. That is where this is heading. 🥳

This is just the start. Over the coming months we will be merging our main website into the Hub and continuing to ship features across the board. Thanks for sticking with us, and let us know what you think. Bug reports and suggestions go a long way.

Thank you everyone for being with us!

Thank you very much! and Congratulations!,

Might want to arrange the placement of this Announcement position though, for me it's at the bottom, so, less visibility? I mean it should be on top.

Done, we've merged hub and game announcements. All are on top now.

Amazing! I just jumped in here by chance to check up on my blueprint and had to rub my eyes to make sure I'm not dreaming.

It's already here?! I was planning to not yet start making a mod, even though the concept phase is done ... but now there's a homey home for it...

Thanks.

Any chance of having other forum features like "your posts" and notifications of replies (or subscribing to threads)?
I appreciate having a forum, I have used them for a long time. But it feels like there are a lot of forum features missing.

EDIT: Found a workaround to find my posts - by finding a post by me and clicking on my name.

We will definitely work on the forum more. This is our first version 🙂

We also needs things like tags, especially for bugs.

But feel free to keep the ideas coming, either here or in our Hub Suggestions forum.
