No, why doesn't anyone make mods for mobile devices?
It's complicated?
It's impossible?
Why didn't they support mods?
Why don't you make small updates with the integration of major mods? (Truck 2 for example)
Difficult? Then why did they make such a big update for a tiny number of VR users but not do anything normal for a huge number of mobile device users?
Perhaps these are trivial questions. But a huge audience of mobile users who, unfortunately, do not have a PC want to get answers to these questions.
Why?
???????
Give me an answer, Andrew.
Funky Trees are cool, but not what I really wanted.
I'm sad to see that the game, originally created on the mobile platform, began to degrade, also being the version for mobile.
Simpleplanes removed mods and custom maps
@IICXLVIICDLXXXIIIDCXLVII ouch
@X99STRIKER you are most welcome
The closest possible way to bring back mods is custom maps and plugins, since they don't have any code
Never gonna happen, sry kid, but it's been said time and time again.
As others said already, mod support is not possible on iOS and Android anymore and there is nothing Jundroo can do about that apart from implementing mods into the game as vanilla features.
"Why don't you make small updates with the integration of major mods"
They did:
and there are probably more that I'm forgetting about
These used to be mods, but Jundroo implemented them so that everyone can use them. Between two whining-for-mods posts, you could at least give them some appreciation for that effort.
Many mods are also often very unstable and can cause crashes even on PC (for example the Tracks2 mod crashed my old laptop multiple times in the past), so imagine what would they do on some of the more potato mobile devices. Then we'd get another wave of whining to Jundroo that "mah phone is crashing, Andrew fix da game!".
To properly implement these, Jundroo would first have to fix them and make them stable enough to match the SP's level of quality. Needless to say, this'd be a huge task to do and certainly not an easy one.
And then comes the problem of which mods to implement? To quote you "Funky Trees are cool, but not what I really wanted.", but others did, you may be wishing for Tracks2 or some other mod, but then there are others who don't care about those just like how you don't care about FT.
So, naturally, Jundroo has to select which are the features that have the widest range of usability: FunkyTrees and Fuselage Cutting is exactly this, perfect features to be used for many many things. Meanwhile, Tracks2 could only be used for a single purpose and that purpose is not really related to aircraft either (and no matter how great of a sandbox SP is and how many possibilities there are in it, the primary scope of the game is still aircraft building), so Tracks2 should be around the last mods to be implemented.
TL;DR
- Mods are not possible to add on iOS and Android (and Jundroo can't do anything about it)
- They did implement some mods into the game
- They can't implement every single mod because it'd be very hard and not worth the effort
- They need to be selective about the stuff they add: They are focusing on features that are widely usable and are related to aircraft in some way (afterall, the game is called simplePLANES)
I hope that clears it up
@X99STRIKER How to get mods on mobile:
step 1: Open google maps
step 2: Find the nearest store that sells pcs
step 3: Use your phone to get an uber to the store
step 4: Buy a pc
step 5: Go back home, install simpleplanes and enjoy the mods that no one uses
@goxictamer88
Thank you Mr. Helpful.
iOS never supported mods I think for liability reasons.
Android removed support I think for the same reasons.
Would mods be possible?
I think so.
Are they going to return to mobile?
Not at all likely.
The best solution would be to get a computer, it would be nice if these things were included in the game but that’s unlikely.
What other questions?
Plus the only mods that are really important are overload and fine tuner, both of which are already included in the game. If you make a plane with mod parts all you'll get is a bunch of people screaming at you because they can't use mods.
@Korzalerke perhaps this is clear now. But to do with other questions?
Jesus christ does no one use the website search? It has been said a million times that mobile mod support was removed because of this.
you is the because
