Title says it all.
Would make it a lot easier to apply automated fixes to saved information after major updates.
Cheers!

Seems killkrog means a game version change, not a mod change.
So you need a on_version_changed event.

You can use
http://lua-api.factorio.com/0.13.8/LuaG ... ctive_mods to access the version of the "base" mod, which gives you the current running version of Factorio.
Note: this is bugged in 0.13.8 (possibly also in previous versions), fixed for 0.13.9:

Oh nice, never thought about the fact that the game itself also is considered a mod.
Thanks Daniel!
