I would be pissed too.

Letās not blow things out of proportion. There is no widespread copying of mods. I understand that itās frustrating to see someone else uploading a mod you created but
a) we remove these mods fairly quickly, once they are reported.
b) they are hardly any subscribers on them. The most Iāve seen was 5(!). Five compared of thousands using the actual mod.
Itās not like we maliciously refused to listen to our modders. There was simply no good reason, nor a good technical solution, to change the situation.
It would be silly to invest weeks of development work to prevent a handful of such uses, when instead we can moderate these mods fairly easily.
I donāt know how much we can take credit for the modding community. Both when itās doing well and when itās not so active. Personally, I think itās normal that interest fluctuates and itās not like no one is working on exciting mods. There are some great mods in the pipeline.

If you are bored then follow plan B:
Make a new sim/strategy game, just like GDT!
Spice it up how GHG spiced up GDT. (do it when the hype is down)
If the community is bored, repeat!
Waitā¦ They got on plan B a long time ago right?
Sorry if I blamed you, but Iām a little annoyed by it myself.
WTF. (Mac) 16 clicks just to access the mods folder starting from the view with all the hard drives. I find that extremely inconvenient. (Oh and mac apps are for some reason actually folders when read by windows at least.)
Wellā¦ Why would I have it in favorites/favourites when you just need to access it occasionally? (Yes, shortcuts are something on the desktop and whatever) AAAAAND if you donāt have the hidden folders thingā¦ yeah. you canāt see the folder (that is true on windows too). Yes, Shift-Command-G exists. Win-R too. but itās not very simple.
Againā¦ Whatās wrong with a shortcut?
How can you use mods if you didnāt buy the game on steam, therefore donāt have āSteamappsā?
And I donāt have any GDT folder I simply have a program called GDT and when I click it it starts the gameā¦ How to install mods?
Hey. Welcome to the forums 
If you are using the standard edition of the game you will need to install mods manually. There is a video guide on that here:
