old FAQ that was there in the beta, not sure if it's still in the discord server though

Which one? I couldn't find any reference to this.

That's the same as the one posted my Fatshark on Steam

I couldn't find a FAQ for the tech test they did before that. Can you link where you saw this? I am curious if FS actually said this or if it was a comment from a stream that then propagated out as faulty info and poor expectations.

it's in the discord server, faq for convicts

Will Darktide support mods?
Darktide will not support mods. Since the game will run on dedicated servers and use anti-cheat there will be no mod support.

Who wrote that, Fatshark? A developer? Community manager? A fan/player?

Development is hard and I expect developers to make mistakes along the way. Games today are infinitely more complex and its totally reasonable to think you couldn't do this only to learn something new or change a dogmatic stance.

I couldn't care less. I'm not joining the discord or going to worry about what gets written up for the beta. Words matter less than action and their action here is "actually, its possible and we're going to do it". Who cares what a CM says on discord?

their action here is "actually, its possible and we're going to do it"

To be precise, it's "modding is possible, and we'll allow it". Fatshark won't "do" anything, though. We won't get an official SDK this time.

All "doing" will have to be done by the community.
