I can wholeheartedly recommend this Egg to anyone looking for an Egg for Conan Exiles that also supports mods.
I have some programming experience myself, so I completely understand the “effort involved.” It runs flawlessly, he responds on Discord, and it's fun to chat with him ;) Thanks for all your hard work and support!
The egg itself works and I’m glad everything functions properly. My main criticism is more about the approach around community involvement and monetization. Over the years, many people in the Pterodactyl community have contributed eggs and tools for free to help support one another, so seeing this offered for $10 on BuiltByBit felt a little out of step with the collaborative spirit that helped the ecosystem grow.
That said, I still appreciate the work that went into making it functional and usable. I just think stronger engagement on GitHub and a more community-focused approach would resonate better with users like myself. 3/5 stars.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad to hear the egg works as expected.
Regarding your concerns about pricing and the community spirit, I'd like to offer some context:
I am actually a long-standing contributor to the Pterodactyl community myself. If you take a look at the public repository, you'll find that roughly 50% of all eggs available there were contributed by me — all for free. So I think my commitment to the open-source spirit speaks for itself.
There is also a free, basic version of this egg publicly available on GitHub, which you're welcome to use. However, my version is not simply a repackage of that. It is an extended and significantly enhanced version that fully handles mod management, including the download, installation, and uninstallation of mods — functionality that required considerable development time to build.
This paid version explicitly includes personal support, and it is precisely the high demand for that support that makes offering it for free unsustainable. Every sale typically results in 1–2 hours of individual support per person, which adds up quickly.
I have no issue with people choosing the free alternatives — that's exactly why they exist. But I think it's worth acknowledging that charging a fair price for an extended, actively supported product does not contradict community values, especially coming from someone who has freely contributed as much as I have.

I hope that provides some clarity.
