New mod version using new hard dependency, how to force it in existing saves?

[snouz]

We're updating a fairly big mod, Bio Industries, but there are 2 new hard dependencies. When loading an older save without the new dependencies, the game will simply load the save without them, disabling the mod. Is there a way to force these new dependencies into the save config by way of migration script (for example)? So that people don't wonder why their mod has disabled itself after updating.

Couldn't find anything in the wiki, or the forum, or google.

I was made aware that it might be because the new mod version is not yet on the mod portal, and that when it is updated, the dependency is automatically activated. I apologize for wasting any time.
