Auto Load Mods /Auto install dependencies

Post by Lankster »

The game needed this a long time ago. I keep finding this to be a real pain.

When loading a game. The game should also load all Mod Dependencies when you pick that game. The option to Toggle them on/off as needed. We should have a option in the load screen.
Having to go back to see what mods I need to load is just a huge waist of time. Some times I have more then 75+ Mods loading. 75 Mods that not all need to load on each game I play. I have to stop and go back to toggle them on & off..

Also when installing a New Mod the dependencies should come up in a Auto list that we can just check to install so we get whats needed for that Mod. Other wise its a lot of searching and wasted time looking for Mod dependencies.

Last one.
When Installing Mods there has been a problem with installing Mods without a version in the install list, but find that its a dependencies to other Mods. If there is a way that we can download without versions and forgo that error or action of unable to install.

Nope, at least auto-install of dependencies are still a no show even for 0.16

you can sync mods with your save, but it wont install new mods.

but it would also be nice for modded servers

It seems strange that this is not supported (yet). I wonder why.

Still not supported. I knew, but was "brutally" reminded by a mod upgrade that caused a loaded map to lose all modded items (which, since I use said item in my power plant design, meant NO POWER).

EDIT: To make this "worse", the mod interface in 0.17 has buttons beside the mod dependencies, but does nothing if you click them… even though the name shown there is the *internal* name, while the name in the install dialogue is the… "readable"? name.
