Other notes
Mod.io content: We are aware that not all mod content available to play testers did not completely carry over to this update. Mod.io will automatically show new mods added to the platform and become available over time.
Restrictions:
We cannot approve mods that clearly infringe on an intellectual property of others.
mod.io has file upload limits, with a maximum file size of 8GB to 10GB per mod file, generally requiring files to be zipped. While the API documentation mentions certain endpoints for smaller files, the general platform limit accommodates large mods up to 10GB, designed to handle everything from small scripts to large total conversions.
Performance note: Using many custom wraps or very large custom levels can cause performance issues. If you’re experiencing slowdowns, crashes, or long loading times, we recommend reducing the number of active wraps and avoiding very large custom levels.
We're excited for you to jump in again and share your thoughts on this update!
