Stalker 2 artist kickstarts the Zone Kit modding scene with a flood of glorious nonsense mods featuring Shrek, CJ, and—you guessed it—Thomas the Tank Engine

Thomas the Aerostat mod for Stalker 2.

It's a big day for Stalker 2, which saw the return of A-Life in the big 1.5 patch as well as the addition of the absolutely massive (as in, bigger than my whole entire primary SSD) Stalker 2 Zone Kit, a modding toolkit that will enable users to "modify existing content or create new experiences—animations, weapons, mechanics, and even wonders of the Zone."

Even though the Zone Kit has been out for less than a day, there are already dozens of new Stalker 2 mods available on Mod.io, and for much of that early rush you can thank Sanekum, a prolific modder who appears to be Aleksandr Silantev, a self-described "senior brick artist" who is more formally credited as an architecture artist and outsource art manager at GSC Game World.
