There was a mod that changed reading time to 15 min increments, and that worked great. I'd love to see that implemented in the game, it just makes sense.

Lost of passionate "conversation" here -- let us all remember everyone just wants The Long Dark to be the best it can be. Obviously it's up to Hinterland whether or not to support mods, but I feel like we're getting mixed messages here. On one hand Hinterland wants to support modding one day, and that's great. On the other hand there seems to be a lot of resentment towards the so-called "unofficial" mods that we have now. I don't understand this, because really all mods are "unofficial." This begs the question I haven't seen anyone ask yet: what exactly will an "official" The Long Dark mod look like? What will make it more "official" than the mods we already have today? Will mods have to go through an approval process? Will only officially licensed modders be allowed to make and release mods? If the plan isn't some kind of restrictive approval process for mods, then I don't see why "official" mod support can't just start right now by helping modders find a way to avoid having all of the current mods become wiped out by the performance changes.
