Things can get a smallish unpredictable when you're a dwarf carving apart the inside of an angular. But nothing can prepare our sawed-off miners for the challenges they'll face in real time that full mod support has arrived in Deep Rock Aggregation.

Deep Stone has had mods for some time. But today's patch formally brings those add-ons into the game by way of a new mod menu, pull from mods listed on the game's mod.io hub. There's already a firm number of mods available from balance changes to audio replacements and exploding yield.

These mods will beryllium categorised into Verified, Approved or Sandbox, depending on how heavily they bear on progression. Later on all, stripping your miner down to a swimsuit is funny story, but still perfectly in-line with the base game in a way that flatly unlocking everything isn't. Servers will be categorised founded connected what mods they're spouting, and you can enable/disable more egregious addons ahead jumping in (or turn turned mods entirely).

"You get into't demand to concern about joining modded hosts by accident anymore," developer Ghost Send on Games explained. "No longer surprises and reverting to a previous save when you accidentally got a million XP from a modded game. With this update, modding should be safe, fun, and transparent."

A fraught breakdown of how mods lic can be plant over on the mettlesome's Steam announcement, which also includes a fairly hefty readiness of bug fixes and balance changes to thrill.
