Map Manipulator included with Alpha?

In various videos showing off the game they have shown them messing with objects, lighting, elevation, and enemy spawning using some sort of creation tool.

I'm wondering if this will be included with the Alpha and/or Beta. Considering the main function of the Alpha and Beta is playtesting it would be a good thing to have in order to test out various facets of the physics and find the systems limits.

Which is why I am wondering if a world editor will be included.

Will an editor / modding tool be included with the game?
We will do whatever we can to make this possible but we're not yet comfortable with promising a complete modding solution. Some of the more advanced features currently require significant technical knowledge and providing a broad user friendly experience could prove challenging. Please consider that our resources are limited.

So I'd say it's rather unlikely.

Thanks for the quote. It is probably slightly more likely with the Alpha and Beta since they are not official releases but this has put it into prespective.

Somehow I highly doubt it.

Why would it be more likely? I'm sure they focus on the really important stuff in the Alpha/Beta and modding tools of any sort are not that important.
My guess is that modding tools will come after release at the earliest.

I've been meaning to make a thread like this. Perhaps we should take it to the Insider forum.
I'll do that for ya.

At the time of posting this I didn't have access to the Insider Forum. That is why I posted it here. But, now that I do that seems like a better idea.

It is done.
