A Basic Config

Post by CJ5Boss »

Hello all,
Recently I received a request to make a configuration option for my mod, which adds many QualityOfLife researches to the game. Surprisingly, in my past year of modding, I have never touched this issue.
How would I be able to incorporate this into my mod in a config.lua file? Would I just add the name of the file and "= true;" to the end of it? Or is there something I am missing?
Thanks,
CJ

I checked it out. Assuming this code could work with techs, would I just replace the "fish" entity in the code with the tech name? Or is there something else in this case that I need to do in order to incorporate the tech aspect?

Every single parameter you can get with this mod: Info Mod or just find it somewhere in Factorio/data/base/prototypes/
