It's unfortunate there's no mod support. As someone with over 2000 hours, for me it's really the overhaul mods that give the game endless variety and replayability. Might not be a bad idea to make certain overhaul mods available anyway, even if it involves hard-coding them in.

Mostly I'd just miss Squeak Through. It's like trying to play Skyrim without SkyUI. I barely think of these things as mods anymore, they should just be there.

I don't think consoles like allowing interrupted code from end users. They just end up being a huge attack surface area, either for DRM exploits or attacks on other users. Nintendo pull a game for having a hidden Ruby interpreter a few years ago.

I wonder if this version of Factorio supports the console. You can execute LUA from the console, so I imagine it's disabled on the switch.

I don't think console games ever support mods?

The only way to do this would be for the modders themselves to get sponsored by / work with Nintendo directly and probably the original dev team. You could then have some officially released "mods" (probably they would just call them DLC) and I they would very likely charge.

Sounds like you want a Steamdeck

Can you imagine a switch trying to load all the maps and resources for AngelBobs/K2/SE?

I know they do some impressive work to port modern games on switch but even my state of the art computer struggles to run K2+SE at scale.

Do any switch games support mods?
