You must realize how foolish it sounds to expect them to release mod support before they're even done crafting the base game, right? You act like your decision to mod the game is something they have suggested doing. They haven't. It's a pain because of your use of mods, not because they're at fault. Come back when the game is released if it still doesn't have workshop support.

I'm sure the devs are thrilled people make it to 1k hours before quitting their relatively small game. Don't expect them to treat it like a live service game like Activision or EA. They're not going to.
