    So, with the new repository finally taking shape, i wanted to ask you all what features you would like to see.

    What can we improve?

    oh wow that looks nice

    Maybe there should be an option to select between tile layout and list layout

    and this will replace the mod repository that is currently on the website, or in-game?

    I'd love to see improved category filtering, which I see may have already been implemented :). At its current state it's a bit of a pain to deselect each category I want to filter one by one.

    are we finally going to be able to create custom tags or at least have some more?

    how are you guys dealing with the "mods of mods" category, i would personally separate it into some different categories or just add another category (bodykits / tuning / parts )

    will there be something like a weekly mod pick (based on popularity, ratings and dev choice?) that is at the top for a week instead of just the same featured mods being there for months on end?

    when the game has an update, could there be a button that allows you to proceed into the mod manager without having to reenable all of your mods?

    • Dependencies
    • Ability to flag mods as broken/outdated and have them not visible by default
    • More/better categories. Some categories have become a bit of a hodge podge of varied content that it can be difficult to just browse mods that exist for the thing you want, especially as more stuff gets added (mods of mods is particularily bad for this)
    • More/better tags. Things like body styles, type of racing the car has variants for, type of map (race track, city, countryside, fun arcade, etc)

    +1 for being able to choose between tile and list view options
    Dependencies support would be awesome, forcing you to download a dependency mod if required by the main mod (think Arcanox Core for his hybrid mods for example)
    Maybe also making the descriptions fully visible. They often give useful insight as to what the mod is

    Could also use a less "generic" color scheme. Right now it looks very un-BeamNG :)

    Is this going to replace the in-game repository or the website one?

    You should add that you can make outdated and unsupportet mods playable and the you should link the forum page:)

    yay :D
    since this does look like a big redesign, I assume that the current "Mods" tab on the forums will go to an external link?
