As a veteran modder of just about every game I play that supports them, I'm wondering what the modding scene looks like for this game. Thinking about modding the game with my friends, and was hoping you guys might be able to fill in some blanks for me on how that would work with multiplayer.

Does everyone need the mods installed(Like Stellaris), or are some mods client/server only(Think Minecraft)?
Is there a way to simply package all the mods I've installed together to let them either sub to a collection like Steam Workshop or just download a folder and copy in & overwrite as necessary, or would they need to install each mod one by one?
What is compatibility like for running multiple mods? Could you run two completely different mods at the same time? Can you run two that edit nearly the same thing? Or can you only run one due to some kind conflict that mods edit universally?
What are the crashlogs like? Should I expect something like Starbound where it tells you exactly what's wrong and hints at how to fix it, or something like Skyrim where it simply CTDs with no explanation just to spite you?
Lastly, is there an easy way to tell what version a mod is written for, assuming the versioning matters and the game isn't super backwards compatible?


Sorry, it's a long list of questions. I appreciate the help. Though, since these people inevitably show up every time modding is discussed, anyone who's just going to complain about how modding ruins a game, doesn't let you play according to how the devs want, etc... can go suck it. I'm just going to ignore anyone who says that, given there's no reason to NOT tailor a game to suit the player's preferences and encourage more fun.

Thanks for the help in advance, y'all!
