An additional option allows the author to disable the discussions completely, in the case they have their own forum/thread somewhere for discussions. For example, an author might prefer you to report bugs on their GitHub page, so the notice will inform users of where they should go.
#GHOST COPIER FACTORIO DOWNLOAD MOD#
Mod authors can now display a notice above their mod page discussions, informing the users of any useful information. This lets the author give the mod completely to a collaborator, in the case that they are no longer interested in working on the mod at all. You might also spot the other feature, transferring mod ownership. Collaborators can do everything the author can do, except add or remove collaborators. Now a modder can set another player as a 'collaborator', which means they can help out will all the maintenance of the mod. The way it has worked in the past, another modder would have to come and upload an updated version of the mod under their own name. It is often the case, that a mod author will want someone else to help them maintain and manage their mod, for instance if they are going on holiday when a major release is coming out. It also preserves the downloads and discussions in case the author wants to revive it later. This way people downloading using 'Sync mods with save' feature can keep playing, while new players won't stumble upon a mod that is no longer useful or up to date. Marking as deprecated will keep the mod up on the portal, but it will be hidden from any public searches. Just deleting the mod could potentially cause problems for people playing an older version, people might ask what has happened to it etc.
The typical case is a mod will add something relevant for the current version of the game (E.G, a mod to scan the players starting area), and then an update to the base game makes the mod obsolete. Sanqui has been quite effective these last weeks getting stuck in with the mod portal, so we have some interesting additions to talk about.Ī modder can mark a mod as deprecated, which indicates they are no longer updating or maintaining it.
