[1.1.59] Downloading a mod's dependency ignores the base version requirement (unlike downloading the mod directly)

Post by Wiwiweb »

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.

Thanks for the report. It's now fixed for the next release.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
