modding and story question

in later updates to modding could it be possible to completely turn mc2 into a more linear story-based game instead of an endless sim?

What kind of options do you have in mind? Is this something I should bake into MC2, or is the concept so different that we should be thinking of a whole different type of game?

i’m thinking of a more advanced scripting tool for modding that can rework a lot of the game
i’m currently creating a mod right now that would have more linear gameplay and I would like a text box to show up every time you find or do something that’s important to the story but i’m not sure if this would be possible in the future without some scripting tools or a sidebar category just for that purpose
hope that made sense

So maybe on the editor, add an "Events" section. Events can be triggered by actions, such as "When user builds X" or "When user finds X on the map," or "When user unlocks X resource,

and once triggered, it say do things like "Show this message" or "give X of this resource" or something similar?

Because I am thinking that a system like that could also be used to implement the in-game tutorial...

that's perfect an event section would be very useful
although I'm hoping it won't be as complicated as the custom event maker in Plague Inc: Scenario Creator with all the event expressions and tech triggers but I don't know it's probably just me who doesn't get it

Yeah, you could do something like unlocking Ancient Alien research only after finding this number of ruins or suspicious craters on the map.
