#How to edit mods install#

You can install the optional dependencies which extend the functionality of a mod to enhance your gaming experience with the mod. When a mod makes a suggestion to install another mod, but if it does not need that other mod for it to work, the other mod, in this case, is an optional dependency. The in-game mod portal automatically downloads required dependencies when downloading any mod. When a mod you installed requires you to install another mod for it to work, the other mod, in this case, is a required dependency. However, some mods may require you to install other mods for them to work and can also make suggestions for you to install other mods for them to extend their functionality. Many mods use Factorio's base mod as their only dependency which you do not have to install separately. These are installed the same way as mods downloaded from the portal.

You can now change the price of configurations (like the cost of engine upgrades) (see Example #5) To help you find the correct file name to make a change, the console command 'priceList' will output all prices to log.txt.
