When there is no patch version dependency specified the base mod version it isn't shown in the dependencies list as its just the same version requirements as the Factorio Version attribute.
However when breaking changes to backwards compatibility in the Factorio API are released modders can specify a patch version in their mod's info.json dependency list to help guide the user in avoiding errors.
Code: Select all
"dependencies": [
"base >= 0.17.35"
],
But the mod portal doesn't show the base mod dependency under any circumstances.
