honesty a new era of thrive has begun, the Fourum Eras, there have been more posts than normal in this time period.
Has anyone kept track of how long each of the community forums has been in use? I have a feeling this current community forum will soon have been the longest one in-use. (At least people still arenāt comparing this to how good things used to be)

but what happened to the mods? I think that if the modding action starts kicking in maybe it could attract more people to thrive
People just stopped making mods.
I get a sense of deja vu, like I have said that exact sentence beforeā¦

but why did they stop?
People just lost interest I guess, and not a lot of people made mods in the first place
because thrive isnāt a game that has the opportunity to mod, you need a lot of software, (and you canāt pack the mod in a folder and then ship it, and say it is meant to be put in some GameData folder because thriveās assets are mixed up everywhere so you need to ship it as a compiled app)
Actually you just need Godot, and you can ship the mod as just one file, it pretty easy to mod, but without a real mod loader you can really only have one mod active at a time

I think you also need Git LFS.
But yea, iāve never seen a mod,
Easy, make a mod to make a mod loader. ą² āæā¼
If you donāt want to make tweaked versions of Thrive files, you donāt. You can just draw whatever you want, import it to a blank Godot project, export that as a pck (to convert the image to a Godot compatible format) and then combine the data from that into the Thrive.pck (or if we get that mod loader done the separate .pck file could be loaded independently).
Well that is a bit more difficult than just modifying a png file and redistributing the whole thing. But Thrive shouldnāt be any harder to mod than another game made in Godot (that doesnāt have a mod loader written for the game).
According to my memory, this is the 3rd forum yes (ignoring Evolutions)?
It started with the Sporums, then moved to the old Thrive Forum and then split into this one an the Dev Forum.
How old is this Forum?
been here since dec 17ā i think.
You forgot canadaboards.

2019 (I thinkā¦) gang.
I wonder if any non-dev/former dev have been around since the old >2017 (you did mean 2017 right? Iād be concerned and confused if this place was made in 1917).
Many of the other early users who are not developers, where around at least on the previous forums and from there where directed to join here.

Youāre missing a forum in between the canadaboards (combined dev and community) forum and this one.
And Iāve been around since early 2016. This forum was made around the same time Hyhy joined I think.
EDIT: Crazy to think yāall didnāt live through the great goat incident of ā16.

Thrive was made 3.8 billion years ago(if you know the joke here, you have been awarded the maximum nerdy-awards and get infinite access to the Science! catagory)
The only joke that I know of the top of my head is quite common here. It involves underwater vents.
