I think this is an interesting take to have beneath a comment about Factorio, considering the new DLC of Factorio (Space Age) is basically a more polished version of a popular mod (Space Exploration) to the extent that Wube hired the mod creator to help them build their first DLC.
That feels compatible with my approach. The mod obviously fits the devs' vision, which makes it canon to me. Especially when it fits so much that they hired the modder.
