Per-Instance Mod Config on Dedicated

[dgall]

Hello Klei!

I'm wondering if there is a way to define a specific list of mods on a per-instance basis.  Currently I need to modify two files in the root install directory, which unfortunately applies those mod settings globally.  Is there a way to define a specific config for each instance you may be running?

 

Thank you!

@dgall, I don't believe there is a nice way to do it. It might make more sense for them to move modsettings and/or modoverride into the config directory, as that would easily allow this sort of thing.

 

I believe you can edit modsettings/modoverride between launches of your dedicated instances, and have the different mod configurations apply. For easier editing you can use something like this (what I'm using in my modsettings.lua):

local dedicatedwilderness = truelocal dedicatedmaxwell = falseif dedicatedwilderness then	ForceEnableMod("workshop-356833566") -- DST RoG Characters	ForceEnableMod("workshop-354415247") -- Throwable Spears	ForceEnableMod("workshop-343762271") -- More DST Characters	ForceEnableMod("workshop-369588618") -- Renewable World	ForceEnableMod("workshop-378160973") -- Global Positionselseif dedicatedmaxwell then 	ForceEnableMod("DirectorMaxwell")	ForceEnableMod("workshop-343762271") -- More DST Characters	ForceEnableMod("workshop-369588618") -- Renewable Worldelse	-- ForceEnableMod("dst-rog-characters")	-- ForceEnableMod("dummymod")	-- ForceEnableMod("workshop-356833566") --dst-rog-characters	-- ForceEnableMod("workshop-354415247") --Throwable Spears	-- ForceEnableMod("websworth")	-- ForceEnableMod("MenuColors")	-- ForceEnableMod("Klei_Bailey")	-- ForceEnableMod("ExtendedIndicators")	-- ForceEnableMod("FireworksAndMeteors")	-- ForceEnableMod("GestureWheel")	-- ForceEnableMod("alwaysonstatus")end

This suggestion has been proposed to Klei and they are currently looking into the best methodology to implement it into the software. Unfortunately there is no ETA on arrival of said functionality.
