TL;DR
Creation of Mod Selection Presets from the Mod ManagerWhat ?
Adding 2 buttons above mods list - Create Preset and Load Preset.- Create preset would offer a save menu with all currently active mods in the list.
- Load preset would offer a submenu list with previously created presets. Choosing one would automatically activate / deactivate the mods according to the preset.
- Clicking Confirm would restart the game with the mods activated.
Why ?
I believe a lot of players often switch mod suites either for testing or for different playthroughs. As the mod suites are often not compatible with each other, managing this relies on having multiple portable Factorio install directories (which can take a considerable amount of disk space). With this we could have all mods in one place, and switch to the active / inactive ones quickly and without affecting the non-compatible mods. Also, all mods would be updated at the same time. Understandably, with every template change, a restart would be required as it is now, but it would save a lot of time and space managing different playthroughs.Thanks in advance for considering,
