[1.1.59] Downloading a mod's dependency ignores the base version requirement (unlike downloading the mod directly)
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2022 3:44 am
Currently the "jetpack" mod has 2 versions:
* 0.3.2 works on the stable branch
* 0.3.3 depends on base mod 1.1.61 and therefore needs the experimental branch
On the stable branch:
When trying to install jetpack, Factorio will be aware of the requirement of 0.3.3, and will instead download 0.3.2, correctly:
But if you install a mod that depends on jetpack, such as Space Exploration, Factorio will incorrectly download 0.3.3: (Starting from an empty mod folder)
This is causing some bug reports in the SE discord from people installing SE for the first time.
