Mods UI Back Button

Post by Hi_ImKyle »

The Mods UI is great, well thought out, just one slight problem in my opinion.

Whenever you click a dependency's little "->" to view that mod, it does what it's supposed to and brings you to that mods information but I find that whenever a mod has multiple optional dependencies, I want to add more than one but it's annoying to do so when you can't quickly go back to the "parent" mod of the mod you clicked on. So I propose that the Mods UI keeps track of the list of dependencies you've clicked through and either just adds a simple back button to go back to the previously viewed mod or a breadcrumb list somewhere that's clickable to go back through.

This feature would have saved me sooo many clicks in the past.
