Headless server on Windows starts Space Age even if a 3 mods for it disabled.

Hey all. I'm running the latest headless server version from steamcmd. I was trying to run a game WITHOUT Space Age, so I disabled all my mods, all 3 Space Age mods, and it still starts the game with it enabled.
I've tried several different configurations, and right now the only "mod" I have listed is "Base". Everything else is disabled. But when I start the server, it starts all the Space Age mods.

Oh! And let me add the map I am loading was created with the "Base" mod only, and loads find on my PC without Space Age enabled or asking to be enabled.

I tried running a server (although directly via --start-server, not via steamcmd) and depending on configuration set in mods/mod-list.json it loaded with or without SA mods.
I would check whether the Write data path (and associated mods/mod-list.json) in the log is the correct one.

Bingo! Thanks Muche, you had the right idea.
I double-checked the data paths, and for some reason it's trying to use configs in appdata instead of the installed directory. Not sure why, but I should be able to fix the issue now.
Thanks a ton!
