Learning about Mods and Modders

[Shoowolf]

Hey everyone!

Shay here, been toying with Factorio, and recently got interested in the modding scene specifically.
I am an indie developer working on my own indie game (Fort Triumph) and my dayjob is in Overwolf which is a platform for PC game overlays and apps.

I realized I know very little about modding - what it takes to create a mod, how the creation process looks like, what factors help or hurt the effort of creating a mod, what it would take to make modding easier or more fun for modders, etc.
At this point not sure it will have a practical outcome, but who knows

If you are a modder and you're willing to chat about it and share your experience with me, I'd be very thankful.

Reach me at shay.zeldis@overwolf.com , a PM here or on Skype (Shoomanjin),
Thank youuuu!

If you have any more specific questions, feel free to join the factorio discord and chat in the #mod-making channel. Just reading what other people write can be educational as well.

Makes sense, will do, thanks!
Honestly, I'm not 100% on what my specific questions are, I just want to chat with some modders and get a better idea of how stuff works and how it could be made better.
