Conan Exiles’Â big dev blog out today ought to be a big help for gamers looking to run their own survival sandbox servers and tricking them out: It’s all about building your own mods, which is basically like putting up a sign that says Bree, read me!
Existing mods can already be downloaded through the Steam Workshop, but if you want to make your own, Funcom says, you’re going to need the dev kit, launcher, and UE4 editor — piece of cake, right?
If you’re not familiar with how Workshop works and are jumping in as a player, all you really need to know is that you’ll be asked to download any mods the server is using as you’re logging in, which is one of the rare modding advantages of running Workshop-capable games through Steam.
Meanwhile, the game’s most recent patch ironically “fixed an issue where server login would fail if you had too many mods installed,” as well as patches up quite a number of exploitable issues. For example, “Players can no longer use chairs to travel great distances.” Funcom’s also disabled the death camera temporarily.
