Question for who played with mod. For each update you need download mod again? Happened things that you need download full game again? Like mod crushed game. I just checked size if original game. Damn. I'm not ready download full game. Good that dev give option download just update.
Mods always come with moderate risk of bugs.Or just can mod crush game? Or I worry to much?
mod loader rewrites the original to the modded folder
so the mod never crush game at max the modded one
so old mods may be not compatible details its own mod page including updates
And yes there are updates or full download
As long the file directory and game name do not change (no browser wipe) your saves will stay
the online version with mod loader is 1-2 week behind(only mods needed)
So yes you need to update some of your mods upon update... to be honest the mod updates are faster than base game updates (test period)
the mod loader allow fast and safe addition and removal of mods... the first run is slow
