Lots of early access gameplay...but why no focus on modding clues in these vids?

With all the early access streams in the past few days, I am surprised no youtubers have mentioned anything regarding what the game's file formats or structure looks like!

I assume the early access version they are playing is installed via steam...so would they not be able to at minimum see if SQL/Lua file formats are used which might assist the modders on this forum getting mod planning under way?

Yes, I was just thinking about it. I would like them to show us the Civ VI folder/folders. For instance, how the music and sounds are stored?

None of these you tubers mod to my knowledge. that or modding is still under nda.

However XML is confirmed for database so SQL also be used, which means lua most likey aswell

I think because like 99% of the user base, they just want to play the game.

I'm not against mods but I usually don't start using them until I've got many many hours into the game as designed.

I suppose everyone has different priorities, but if I were a YouTuber with one week's early access to a brand new game, I think I could be forgiven for not choosing to spend my first videos scrolling through the file explorer :lol:

.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the modding functionality is entirely absent from this press build.

Nobody asked them I suppose, but yes I'm curious about the file format too.
