Hello jack,

Welcome to the SPM forums! We already support some modding: the game ships with the "Master Spreadsheet" we use in order to define the relationship between the different program categories, programs, mission configurations, goals and mission components along with a set of command line tools in order to generate the XML database based on it. After the game ships we're planning to open up the game even more. We cannot do it earlier as it's a bit time-consuming and we'd rather focus on gameplay first. Notice that the game is developed using the Unity engine and, as thus, it makes heavy use of asset bundles, which is a feature only available in the paid version of the tool.

Cheers,

In the later paid for expansions the next one will be the Shuttle and ISS missions, and the one after that will be Mars missions. That is the plan anyway.
