Does this mean that games cant be moddable?

I’m a Kerbal Space Program modder. Although KSP uses Unity, there is one stumbling block in the modder workflow in that system that I’m curious if will be an in UE4 too.

A mod can be as simple as a text file, imported by the game’s code. That would obvioulsy be possible in UE/C++ too. The problematic things are importing meshes and using dll files.
Can UE import an fbx file at runtime, or is there a way to compile an fbx file to a format that can be imported at runtime, without having access to the editor?
And is there a way in C++ to load a dll file at runtime so modders can add their own code? (I don’t know how the dll import is handled in Unity, but I assume it’s just a language level thing, not an engine thing)

I may be jumping the gun here, I’ve not looked at any of yet, but with the source available I should think pretty much anything is possible, so long as you don’t trip over the EULA. Perhaps post these questions on the AnswerHub, which seems to get pretty quick responses, often from the team.

Re FBX Importer … less certain about that as it’s an Autodesk format and you’d have to refer to their licensing.
