Give us freedom(ITR2)(standalone players)
(Take the picture as an idea of what it could look like)
As standalone VR players, we face a significant hurdle compared to PCVR players: the inability to freely modify our game directories. Currently, we have to rely on waiting for official updates or depending on talented community members to build complex, third-party loaders. Even then, the process involves navigating intricate file managers like ZArchiver, which is far too complicated and frustrating for the average user.
Since Into the Radius 2 (ITR2) is actively in development, this is the perfect time to request a built-in mod folder and an in-game mod menu for the standalone port. We aren't asking for an entirely new, highly complex ecosystem built from scratch. A system similar to Bonelab would be perfect—a simple, integrated mod loader that instantly detects when a new mod is placed into a designated folder and organizes it cleanly within an in-game menu.
With this system, players would only need to drop the files into that specific folder using a basic file manager. It would make modding accessible, seamless, and enjoyable for the entire standalone community without the headache of workarounds.
