Modding with ADK is really frustrating. I am completely new to UE and modding in general, so the complexity of what I tried doing so far is basically zero - and still it’s far more difficult than it should have been.
My main source of frustration is all the random errors that just should not happen. My favorite example? If you add an item to an inventory’s default list, but the item itself requires a different inventory component for crafting, then you had better remember to change it in the same launch - otherwise the UE will crash with 100% chance.
Just an example, but the ADK is actually full of these errors. Sometimes they cause it to crash until you remove the source of the error (which you can’t do well since it won’t even start), sometimes you lose work, sometimes it just stops functioning as intended in some areas… it’s not great.
And of course, the complete lack of official tutorials is horrible.
That said, I am not quitting just yet. My mod is meant for myself and my friends to play anyway, so I’m the only one who stands to lose from stopping.
