@Relyss @max99x maybe this is already a thing?
Would it be possible to add a flag in the core Stonehearth UI that allows the player to opt into an unstable branch of a mod they’re subscribed to? Presumably, the mod maker would need to specify an unstable code repo path in a config file, but otherwise it seems pretty straightforward. If checked, pull files from the unstable repo path, if not checked, install the mod normally.
This feels necessary because, on Steam, you can opt into unstable branches in the game’s properties menu, but I don’t think a similar construct exists for Steam Workshop mods. Instead, I think mod makers have to maintain two separate mods (stable & unstable). But if the core game accommodated branches within the mod, it would simplify things (and help keep the workshop from getting too cluttered).
But again, I could just be ignorant as to how Workshop works, in this regard.
