Naturally, there are some rules of the contest as well. These include:
Rules
- Upload your mod to mod.io, and optionally to Steam Workshop
- (Uploading the mod on mod.io is required so we can contact all winners after the contest ends)
- Include the #fp2modcontest tag so the jury can find it
- Content limit? Only your imagination!
- (Please be mindful that mods containing harassment, sexual/erotic, or otherwise inappropriate content will not be reviewed)
- Already made your mod in an earlier patch? Worry not! – We’ll consider all submissions equally, and we don’t want to exclude any of your amazing mods created so far. Remember that they still need to be uploaded with a hashtag on mod.io and run with the current version of the game.
- What is the jury looking for?
- Creativity, playability, and most importantly, fun! After all, you are the strategy genre experts, and we would like to see what you will come up with to make the Frostpunk 2 experience even more interesting. New stories and mechanics? Insane mode? Replace snow with sand? Add dinosaurs? Introduce a swamp with ogres? The Steward would rejoice!
- We would like to thoroughly judge all of your work, so our Jury Squad will include our development team, mod.io representatives, and experienced modders from our modding community.
- We’ll select 5 winners and 3 honorable mentions, announced within two weeks after the contest ends.
