[0.15.10] mod settings are lost when disabling that mod

[factoriouzr]

Mod settings are lost when disabling a mod with settings then re-enabling it.

This is extremely frustrating as for complex mods with many settings, the user has to reset (and remember) all the settings they used before when re-enabling the mods.
Mod settings should be kept until the mod is uninstalled/deleted.

It would be great to also keep mod settings per save and globally as the new defaults for new games.

This feature is needed when playing many different games with potentially different people. The sync mods function already helps immensely with enabling and disabling the correct mods, but having to re-set up all the mod config settings every time the user switches games (and mods) is really annoying.

I guess that is default behavoir.

Would be handy if they could introduce "Profiles"

What i did and others to solv this issue, download the ZIP file (the non installer version)
Extract that in a folder for example c:/games/factorioMods15/)
Extract your mods in c:/games/factorioMods15/mods/

create shortcut to desktop and start the game using: C:\Games\FactorioMods15\bin\x64\factorio.exe

Now you have 2 factorio installations, 1 without mods, 1 withmods.

- You also won't get a messed up blueprint library.

That is currently working as intended. The same happens when you load any save without mods.

Could you please implement the ability to remember mod settings in the saves and sync the settings when you load that save, same as you sync mods.

Having to have multiple factorio copies for each different game you play would be really bad. Mod synchronization works quite well with multiple games with different mods it would be a real pain to have to have multiple copies of factorio for each game we play.

Any update on this? It's a needed feature.

It's already a thing since 0.16.0.

If the settings are remembered after disabling and re-enabling the mod that's great. Thanks.

While it looks like settings are now remember, it does not seem as if Key Bindings for Mods are remembered. Can anyone confirm?
