Auto-Rename to match expected. (Mods)

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Auto-Rename to match expected. (Mods)

Post by CreeperDaReeper »

First time trying to run Factorio after updating to 0.10.8, I've had to rename every mod folder (the .zip's), no matter if I had changed them previously or not.

My suggestion is that the game gives you an option to automatically rename it; (file name of a mod's .zip), to match what the game expects. Probably a button to match current discrepancy, and one to match all.

Seriously, this was kinda irritating. Thank you for your time.

Hm. As I now know the current development situation (talked a lot with Tomas today) I would suggest instead, that someone tries to write a simple program, which does that renaming.

If it would be only linux/mac this would be easy just to write a bash-script. But for windows...
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
