"profile" selection ( like in Minecraft )

Post by karlsson_wi »

I always have the problem that i have multiple worlds with friends that all use a different set of mods and it is really annoying to turn them on and off manually all the time,
so my suggestion is to add an option to make mod profiles that you can select upon game startup, where you can select the mods you want to use and save them in profiles, so
the mods you want will be loaded.
I know this would be a huge change and it is probably not easy to implement, but i think it would greatly increase the quality of life when playing different modded games or playing
on modded servers.

TL;DR
Mod selection and mod profiles upon startup to avoid annoying mod switching for different worlds.

I fully agree. The game OpenTTD also has such a mod profile manager.

However, this has already been suggested in the following threads:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13133 factorio launcher / profile manager
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28229 Mod Manager - Profiles or Groups?
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35649 Mod profiles - make joining servers easy
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32470 idea: selectable mod "profiles"
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26621 "mod profile" save and load and share

These - also note that you can copy and paste the mods folder, or have multiple non-Steam installs in different folders (those are probably mentioned in some of those other threads, but I didn't bother to read them).
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
