[0.17.12] no mod sync for savegames

Post by Nexarius »

If you don't have the mods enabled for a savegame then it wont sync the mods but instead load the save and remove the modded items.

Correct. You have to press the button in the top right of the load screen in order to sync mods.

But this is a feedback, that the button isn't that obvious.

Maybe, just maybe, we could add a confirmation dialog, something like (You are loading the save, but the mods are different, it will have consequences (removing entities, etc), are you sure to continue, or you want to sync?)

Yes please. It is always good to warn people that they can destroy their content/hurt themself.
