How do i get my mod portal mods renamed?

Post by eradicator »

Long story short: I would like to change the internal name of three deprecated/abandoned mods before i revive them. I've tried writing a forum PM to @Sanqui and i've tried writing a mail to support@factorio.com, but so far all i got was two weeks of total silence. The search function only found one similar thread from four years ago, and with no relevant answers.

So, what do i do next?

Aha. Finally a reaction ;). Thank you. I'll be waiting then. It's not that i'm in a hurry, but after two weeks of no reaction i didn't know if anybody read the messages at all...

Hi again. Sorry to sound nagging..., but I've now waited exactly 2 month since the first PM and haven't recieved any messages except for the above forum comment (yea, ok, there was christmas inbetween, so technically it's less...). How much more patient do i have to be? Is there a secret plan for a generic solution that prevents you from manually renaming? I've got the updated mods on my drive but i can't release them with the old name...

For potential future readers here's the conclusion: After about three-and-a-half month and half a dozen mails to @Sanqui gone unanswered, @Klonan was finally so nice and informally renamed my mods, and everything seems to be working as expected now. It probably wasn't the best idea to request this shortly before christmas, but in the end I don't really know what went wrong. Hopefully for any future readers the process will be much smoother.
