[Mod Portal] Wrong number of dependencies

Post by EvilPLa »

I just uploaded a mod and was wondering why it has 5 Dependencies.

Nothing critical, but I thought I post it here.
I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.

there's a note somewhere that says it's excluding the ones that just depend on everything

edit: in the hover for "Default"


nevermind i didn't read close enough

Well that could still be possible, maybe the count is from 1.1 (this mod has no 2.0 Version)

info.json from Mod Version 0.2.1 has 5 Dependencies listed:

Code: Select all

{
  "name": "K2_mass_transit_tweaks",
  "version": "0.2.1",
  "factorio_version": "1.1",
  "title": "Krastorio 2 tweaks for Angel's Addons - Mass Transit",
  "author": "EvilPLa",
  "homepage": "",
  "dependencies": [
    "base >= 1.1.0",
    "angelsaddons-mobility >= 0.0.11",
    "Krastorio2",
    "? SchallTransportGroup",
    "? RealisticFusionPower"
  ],
  "description": "This mod configures the higher tier locomotives to use the different fuels available in Krastorio 2. Optional the cargo wagon inventory can be adjusted"
}
Currently, I see "3":

My understanding is that the info.json file from your Mod is parsed, and the extracted data fields are stored in a "Document Database" (like MongoDB) which seems to be eventually-consistent - so Reads will sometimes get Stale data.

Good Luck!

Yeah, now it's down to three. Now I understand, when I upload it shows the number of dependencies from the info.json and at some point the backend checks and finds that two of the dependencies are "outdated".

I think the mystery is solved.
