[Survey] Which mod would you rather see first?
🕑 Added 2026-02-02 15:52:29 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone!
Seeing how many of you have asked for Mechanoid 2, I've decided to let the community decide the priority a little bit. Just to ensure it's fair for everyone, let me explain where we are with each of the projects:
Vanilla Gravship Expanded - Chapter 2
A chunk of the mod is already designed, as in, a document is written explaining how things are meant to work. This chunk isn't massive though. It currently covers some new turrets, some new apparel, some new structures that are meant to help you fight the new threats. It also roughly explains new quests, as well as gravship visibility system. None of it is coded, and not a lot of art is made yet, but I'm working on it. The entire concept of enemy gravships, other satellites, other threats etc is not yet designed. The ideas are there but it's not written out as an implementation spec yet. I'd say the mod is maybe 10% done.
Vanilla Factions Expanded - Mechanoids 2
Nothing here is done. There is a cloud of ideas I have written down, but nothing is actually written in a design document yet. No art is made. The idea list is pretty massive though. We call this stage a 'Notions' stage, in which we just write down everything we can think of, and then when the time is right, we decide which bricks we use to build the mod.
It's very much possible that Vanilla Factions Expanded - Mechanoids will require Biotech DLC. Intentionally avoiding using the de facto Mechanoid DLC when developing a Mechanoid mod just seems like shooting yourself in the knee.
I want to make it absolutely clear, that regardless of the choice made, both mods will be developed at the same time - I often jump from one project to another to keep things interesting for me and to ensure I don't suffer burn out.
I'm going on holidays right now for a week. When I'm back I will check which mod you, my patrons, would prefer I worked on.
To keep this absolutely fair, I'm opening this survey to free patrons as well. I see my community as more than just those that donate, because not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford that. This is a pretty big survey because it will dictate which mod will be released first (or at least enter testing first).
Should I continue chipping away at Gravships Chapter 2, and get it out of the way? Or should I pivot to Mechanoid 2 so that it releases alongside Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Factory, for a complete Mechanoid return?
I'm not allowing comments on this post so that we don't sway people or try to explain why you picked X over Y!
