Modding Guide for Distant Worlds: Universe

Post by Erik Rutins »

Distant Worlds: Universe, the ultimate Distant Worlds experience, is coming out soon. Not only does Distant Worlds: Universe include all the former Distant Worlds content, it even manages to further expand on it. This includes a brand new storyline, as well as a host of changes under-the-hood. One of the most important changes however, is that Distant Worlds: Universe features vastly expanded modding capabilities. This means that it will now be easier than ever to make Distant Worlds your personalized sci-fi experience!

The full modding guide has now been made available for all to see. This comprehensive guide is over a hundred pages long and explains in detail how to alter the game to your own likings. Both the seasoned modder as well as the beginner will find this document very useful!

Click here for the full modding guide.

See the printer friendly version of the guide here.

Hi there,

It seems the modding documentation is not available anymore. Would it be possible to re-upload it?

Bests.

When I tried clicking the link to the full modding guide here, it worked for me.

As an alternative, it should be in the Manuals(or similar) folder of your DW folder.

Hi,

Thanks for the information, they are indeed there.
It´s strange, I tried to download it from two different places (Germany and Belgium), and I still get an error from the downloading link. Could it be that there is some kind of restriction for E.U. users?

Anyway, thanks again.

Guys, the DWU Modding Guide was probably removed from web access after the game was released. It is included with the game. It can be found in your ..\DWU\Manuals folder.

You're welcome. I'm always glad when I actually know the answer to something about this game. I'm still learning, and playing, and loving it!
