Migration file order

As far as I can tell re: migration scripts, ALL json files are run before ANY lua files, regardless of their filenames or version numbers. Can someone verify this?

This is correct.
This is because a JSON file typically replaces entities that no longer exist with a new version, or replacement, which needs to be done before the game is fully initialised.
LUA is run after initialisation.

Thanks, Bob.
So, if we delete a recipe/item/technology, then there's no way to avoid the migration message for that, because the .json file only does "renames", right?

it can migrate those too, not just entities, but yeah, there's no way to avoid the migration message.

Thanks for your help and insight on this.
