Uploading Mods to the Cloud Cooker

The Cloud Cooker is an interface on the Alderon Games website where you upload your mod files in order to build your mod and distribute it to players.

With the Alderon Games Cloud Cooker, you can simply upload your mod to our servers in order to use our machines to build the mod for every platform Path of Titans supports. This is required because mods must be built in each corresponding operating system in order to be usable by that device. For instance, for mods to be usable on MacOS, it must be built on a Mac Machine within that operating system. This can be a limiting factor if you don't own a Mac computer. By uploading mods to our Cloud Cooker, we can automatically build mods on all these devices without you needing to purchase extra PCs and equipment to package your mod. This allows for significantly greater modding community cohesion and, overall, will help foster a more connected community.
