Mod Manager: Add 'Confirm & Exit' Button

Post by macdjord »

TL;DR
On the mod manager screen, clicking the 'Confirm' button causes the game to install/update the selected mods, then quit and restart. I want a button that install the mods, then quit and not restart.

What?
Often, the last thing I do at the end of a Factorio session is to open the mod manager and check for updates to my installed mods. This way, the next time I'm playing, I don't have to boot the game twice to install the updates. However, currently, there's no way to not restart Factorio after installing updates; if I use the 'Confirm' button on the mod screen, the game automatically restarts, and if I use the 'Exit' button on the main menu, the mods don't actually get installed.

The solution is adding another button to the mod screen, 'Confirm and Exit', which does the same thing as the 'Confirm' but skips the step where it automatically restarts the game. (Or maybe instead of a new button, it's a tickbox, or you hold shift while clicking 'Confirm', or something like that.)
Why?
Because having the game restart when I don't want it to is annoying.

Holding control when clicking confirm will do that.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

In that case my suggestion is that this be advertised better.
