How to force mod update ?

Hi,

from factorio 0.13.15 to 0.13.16 there is a change in LUArecipe.products that make the previous version of my mod bug.
I published a new version of my mod that corrects this, but users that do not update the mod are getting an error.
I wonder if there is a way to force/advice users to update to new mod version in these special cases ?

As far as I know, there is no way to do this but I could very well be wrong with my limited knowledge.
I want to bring in a suggestion at this point though, since I have noticed that, while a lot of people do download newer versions of my mod, I think that's mostly people newly discovering it on the mod portal and not the ones that already have it. So maybe adding a hint in the game for mods that can be updated would be a good idea.

Something like "Mods (10)" in the menu that instantly tells you that there are updates. Or a more subtle indicator on the menu item.

Yes, this little change in the main menu could be very helpful.
