 ====== Introduction ======
 **Modding** is a big part of Transcendence. By creating a mod you can change the game for yourself, and share those changes with others.
 You can make it easier or harder, you can fly different ships or create entire new universes. Transcendence mods are very flexible, having a complex xml syntax and a scripting language to create dynamic mods. On this page we will try to introduce you to using mods, show off some of the best mods made by the community and introduce you to making your own mods.
+Here is the most up-to-date (2025) getting started tutorial on making your own mod: [[https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9156|Getting started with modding Transcendence! (2025 Edition)]]
 ====== Finding Mods ======
-[[http://xelerus.de|Xelerus]] is the current go-to website for mod downloads. All downloadable mods are accessible through the Mods tab at the top of each page and are sorted into various categories.
+[[https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewforum.php?f=11|Official Forums]] Some content may have latest versions only available through direct downloads from places like google drive on the forums, due to technical limitations around file size or game version (ex, Preview releases of Transcendence do not support Multiverse).
+[[https://multiverse.kronosaur.com/|Multiverse]] You can find typically find newer registered expansions and extensions and some unregistered mods on the multiverse. You can even [[https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8395|host your own mods there.]] - unfortunately there are a few abandoned registered extensions on there which dont work on the latest versions of the game.
+[[http://xelerus.de|Xelerus]] You can find a lot of old and smaller mods on Xelerus. All downloadable mods are accessible through the Mods tab at the top of each page and are sorted into various categories. Note that Xelerus has a maximum upload limit, and is largely unmaintained, so depend on it for hosting at your own risk.
