Show base mod dependency of patch
Posted: Fri May 03, 2019 9:40 pm
What I suggest is that the mod portal shows the base mod dependency if it has a patch version specified. If it only has a major or minor version then it can remain hidden like present.
When there is no patch version dependency specified the base mod version it isn't shown in the dependencies list as its just the same version requirements as the Factorio Version attribute.
However when breaking changes to backwards compatibility in the Factorio API are released modders can specify a patch version in their mod's info.json dependency list to help guide the user in avoiding errors.
This version shows and is honoured within the game for deactivating incompatible mods and the in-game mod dependency list.
But the mod portal doesn't show the base mod dependency under any circumstances.

Code: Select all
"dependencies": [
"base >= 0.17.35"
],But the mod portal doesn't show the base mod dependency under any circumstances.
