Hey all, sorry for the super long wait here. We’re currently discussing next steps in regards to mods in UE4, process for shipping cooked vs. uncooked content, as well as making editor distribution a bit more straight forward. I’ll let you all know when we’ve got some motion here 🆒 ---

Hi , wanted to highlight this post I wrote on the matter: [Modding & Data Driven Thoughts... how to best accomplish? - Modding - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?112780-Modding-amp-Data-Driven-Thoughts-how-to-best-accomplish) I have a lot of experience supporting mods for games, just not with Unreal Engine yet 🙂 Maybe something I wrote will help with the design? ---

Hey . We are still very much interested here. We’d really like a more polished workflow for modding. Any news about how we could add modding support without having to ship uncooked game and editor ? ---

Is why you guys in a stale mate now. Fear of telling how you don things. If you told people How Ark started. No one would play. You have a contest to try to fix this game thgat whom ever left the company left u with zap. I am a true follower of UDK to UE4. Ark is a closter \*\*\*. The time to get into this game amounts to equal time to be on pause constant to think of other things, SAD. There are no guides period This Guy > **[ARK: Survival Evolved Wiki](https://ark-survival-evolved-archive.fandom.com/wiki/ARK:_Survival_Evolved_Wiki)** > > As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your cunning... God only knows the time He wasted waiting? My mod when done will have a world ongoing and wait time be like archage login into. But this is a farse. I dnt have funds to make open worlds static in time to repeat constantly. Dara storage is like Gold. ---

> [@;439011](#): > > something else that might work is some way to use a in game editor, that would read files saved with data(save-game esque), although this may actually be more difficult than what is being worked on, just saying this for brainstorming:) The have everything that UDK to UE4 can offer and done so with wiki`s .They alloyed public manipulation of what you wanted. When back in the day when Fallout New Vegas piped is Modders couldn`t segway anything. > **[Obsidian Entertainment](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Obsidian_Entertainment)** > > Obsidian Entertainment, founded in 2003 after the dissolution of Interplay Entertainment's Black Isle Studios, is a video game developer for PC and console systems. Obsidian continues to operate under management by its founding officers: Feargus... These guys arnt the same as Bethesda but are the same. They rewound codes etc. so u cant use in the mantra of the TES reputation That is Bethesda (Nothing in Fallout 3 wrks in New Vegas. Will not argue over lil ferry dust. Before this was a blind eye /0EIGXbKafPs There was a yr and a half where a stale mate was with the Obsidian company and Bethesda both same. Just Tax brackets. Showed how and what they done. This new Beast ARK Is good But we wait so freaking long. Anyone working on this opening stage? Cause it isnt an opening it is an ongoing one. ---

Please make a mod tutorial quick , i have search long time on the web, but only find some outdated info about modding. 's tutorial seems not working on UE4.14, when i package the DLC, UAT always failed to update some resource, i searched the answer hub,the only answer is tell me to use github version engine. This is wired! Why can’t the Launcher version can’t properly package DLC? I need a real good toturial on this topic. ---
