Vanilla factorio.exe does not report missing expansion files

Post by nemofication »

Another person and I got stuck on the same issue simultaneously so I think statistically this ought to be fixed. https://discord.com/channels/1396775903 ... 1840420904

Basically, we misunderstood which download to get and did not get the expansion .zip. The result was very confusing, no error messages of any kind, but instead `/mods/mod-list.json` kept getting reset to just include `base`.

I think it would help users if there was at least an `elevated-rails, quality and space-age not supported on this version` message in the log before changing the contents of `mod-list.json` and starting the server. It was quite confusing.
