    I was told that the featured resource page is updated by recently updated mods meaning that any mod that is updated latest is shown on the featured resources page, the problem is it doesn't work. There are some mods that have been on the featured resources page for months even without an update, one of them is the
    "Raven R60" that mod has been up there for about 5 months without moving even when newer mods are updated and released that mod stays on the featured resource page like its a sticky.

    This means:
    Its not updated by popularity
    Its not updated by recently updated mods
    Its not updated by most downloads
    Its broken and currently not useful

    Devs please look into this.

    Featured mods are decided internally, we have been super busy lately with the update , we'll change them soon :)

    Oh ok makes sense, but can this be done by algorithm? It would be automated and wouldn't need much looking after, also it could still be done internally but the algorithm would be like a helper for times like this and the Dev team could override it at any time

    The requirements for the Featured mods is a secret formula that no one except the devs know and are sworn to secrecy over thats how you get a mod featured, well at least its better than the Youtube Trending system

    Oh no the YouTube trending system is a mess of bureaucracy, paid advertisements and bribery lol BeamNG is far from that

    Exactly the devs decide on what mods deserve to be pinned to the top they have to be of exceptional quality
