This unfortunately stopped working, unknown around when.

You can go to prefs.xml and change the line :
<resetModsConfigOnCrash>False</resetModsConfigOnCrash>

Still working on 1.4, by any chance?

Since this mod is verified working in 1.3 I've added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692
Hope it helps!

Please update this to 1.3!

Is it too late to summon @Mlie to maybe port this while you handle IRL stuff? Either way, I hope things are well for you. Take your time, love this mod <3

I'll try to work on an update for 1.3 and more testing soon. Things have been crazy on my planet this year and last. If anyone wants to help out with the code or take over this mod, please use the Github to contribute or get in touch. Thanks all!

doesn't work, mmods still reset

literally couldnt launch my game so thanks for the info on how to do it in the config file! was stuck for ages unable to launch <3

I had this mod active and my game was just force-stopped, and it still auto-reset my list.

Holy shit thank you for making this so much! It saved my ass just now and now I don't have to reassemble my whole mod list.

I've looked into devmode in options, and mod reset feature IS disabled, but it still occurs.

Doesn't work for me :(

hi sammie if you have 2 gfx cards, you can try rightclicking on the game exe, and forcing it to run under another card?

(if its crashes due to mod conflicts that probably another problem, but some games work better (or are more stable) on different cards.

As of late i've had a lot of unity crashes. This'll come in handy, though i have mod manager it's still annoying when you have over 340 mods :P

i also always play with dev mode :)
(even before i got into modding - it just seemed logical to keep it running) :)

well heck i didn't even know this was a thing until seeing this mod, i was just dealing with re-doing my mod list occasionally. using this. thanks

Mod managers don't auto-save your current modlist, but sure, you can reload a saved list or game file if you have one.

This mod is better suited for when you're adding and configuring mods, checking for errors, sorting your modlist, troubleshooting etc. If you haven't backed up your modlist or saved a game in a while, and then get a crash, your modlist work is wiped out. Then normally you have to manually add each mod back in (if you can remember where you had them).

And even if you have a backup list, you still have to load RimWorld, then load the list, then reload RimWorld. Or at a minimum, you have to restore your ModsConfig.xml then reload.

This mod just skips all that drama and tells RimWorld to leave your modlist alone and let you handle it. It's not for everyone. Personally, I leave Dev Mode on all the time so I don't need this. I just made it because of how players ask how to disable the Auto-reset feature - and there was no reliable way in vanilla.

use a modlist mod

they save backups that you can restore even after the game self-destructs from bad bad mod conflicts

but if you don't use one of those, I guess this is useful so thank you

(now im about 130 mods on the way to "upgrading my v1.0 savegame" into 1.1) - fingers crossed

yeah, i suffered from this until i found the setting while trying to get my 500+ v1.0 game stable :)

cool
