[13.15] Mods not synchronized with steam cloud

[Killerbee]

I just installed Factorio on another computer using steam to show to friends.
The save-games from my desktop were correctly restored an available in the game.
The mods however were not available.

Luckily Factorio is great at mitigating errors so I was able to show the game to friends despite the missing mods.

Are you sure mod synchronization is a feature in factorio? I honestly do not know and could not find anything suggesting it is.

I have no idea if it is a feature in Factorio.
But given that it does sync save games and is marked in Steam that it uses the cloud I assumed that it would sync the mods.

I see, I would agree that it is a bit inconsistent if you have to setup your mods manually, on the other hand you only have to do it once and can do it w/o access to the other machine.
Anyway, I don't think it is a bug but it might be easy to fix so Ill keep it open for a dev to decide.

It is not a bug.
Idea is, that Factorio will be able to redownload mods from Mod portal based on save you want to load. But that is a feature for future versions.
