holy shit this is a messed up mod system

Ideally you use a locally made mod for this and install a different mod for every world so that the different worlds can have different tweaks.

@Azriel82 make sure it is in "data/installed_mods/ModBin" not "mods/ModBin"

Not sure if I'm doing this right, but I can't seem to get Bins for Mods to work. I followed the instructions and pasted the "graphics" folder from the "mods" folder into the "ModBin" folder and load the fortress save and no changes. I've several different mods and no go. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you... I aspire to be like you one day

Author.... sometimes the most simple solutions are the best! Hence why people call it stupid!

@Lactation Consultant that's alarming you could guess my profession just by this mod :)

@Urist McSpaceminer sadly, no. Mods can be installed only when you create world. The only way to "install" them into existing world is to add their assets to another mod (vanilla files count as mods).

As far as I understand, /objects folder usually contains files that add new items, entities, etc. or change how existing things work. So installing them into existing world could theoretically break it. If you installed them and everything works as expected, great for you! But if something broke - I told you that it's dangerous and you shouldn't do it, so no blame falls on me.

i am intrigued!!

Are you a programmer or software engineer? Because this is the kind of ludicrous 'so stupid it works' solution I expect from them.

Regardless, great mod.

Can this mod bin be installed manually without starting a new world, so I could backup all the mods that I've manually installed into the vanilla folders? Also, can you shine some light on why /objects -affecting mods can't be installed through this, seeing as they seem to install manually just fine?

Pretty neat and clever idea.
