Ok, we're now past 1.3 and the dev streams have been very non-commital "that'll be in 1.2," "that'll be in 1.3." This is a sandbox game where the big selling point is scale and modability. Well, having a choke point where we can't easily install and uninstall new buildings, new shipsets, (even new colors), is really get tiresome and might have already killed any kind of large-scale modding community before it even got started. The number of new mods has slowed to a trickle and just adding in new races (complete with shipsets and tech trees, not the shells we've been downloading from the workshop) is a pretty substantial undertaking.
You guys are losing the forest for the trees. Cities Skylines is a better game than Sim City for one reason and one only. Modability. On every other dimension it is only as good or which game is truly better is debatable. Modding is the whole ballgame. You're spending so much time tweaking the gameplay when the modding community is just going to do most of the tweaks the fans want for you anyway. Then you won't be rushing to give us overlooked and needed gameplay tweaks.
Seriously guys, it's time. Now. Please.
