How to update the description of mod?

Post by sraw »

I've updated the description of my mod during the updating. But I notice that it doesn't change in the game. How could I change the description?

My guess is, you looked at the description of your mod in the left tab ("Manage") of the game's mod manager. If you select a mod there, all information will be taken from the locally installed version -- not from the mod portal. Open the second tab instead ("Install") and see whether the description has changed! Perhaps it really is just as simple as that. :-)
A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!

Thanks for your reply. I finally figured it out. I actually need to update the summary in mods.portal.com instead of the description in info.json. That's a little bit counterintuitive I think.
