Unessesary? reboots in relation to managing mods

[Karakaz]

In game, when you want to install a mod and update a current mod you there's no way around rebooting the game twice. I would be great if it rebooted only when exiting the mod managing screen. That's my two cents guys. Thanks

Seconding it instead.

actually if you update and then install in that order you don't have to leave the mod screen to do the installing after updates and so don't need to restart twice.

There are mods that need to be loaded at boot up but I've seen and the idea has grown on me a boot loader so you can do all mod managing and version control before initial launch in the same way as minecraft

This is untrue. I click "Update mods" and as soon as it's done, it restarts Factorio without any action from me.
