Toggle group of mods between different save games?

Hey all,

So I have 2games I play regularly now. My normal game, and a sea block game. They both utilize several different mods. Every time I go from playing one game to another, I find myself having to manually toggle the mods on and off. If it was only 1 or 2mods, it wouldn’t be such a big deal. However, there are several mods that I only use for one of my saved worlds. Is there a way to toggle mods on or off depending on which game I am playing? Or do I have to go in each time and manually select which mods I want for each game?

Thanks,
Rylant

My solution to this is to download the .zip version and extract to separate directories for each modpack.

FYI, 0.16 should come with this builtin :
Factorio 0.16
Planned:
[...]
Allow loading games with different mod settings (and automatically download the mods if necessary)
Source
It won't help you know, but will be automated in the future :)

You can click 'Sync mods with save':

Super helpful. I didn't realize how this function worked before. Thank you, sir.
