Error Log Improvement : Add Dependency Origin in Log
Error Log / Crash Log File created by the Game, lists mods loaded.
However the Dependency system on Steam automatically adds & downloads mods -- without any means to identify WHY ,such as Dependencies which allow a mod to be impossible to remove as it is automatically added Infinitely and has no origin source which means debugging where a Mod is adding this other mod becomes a nightmare.
In the case of multiple mods adding the same mod, there is no way to identify this currently from the log at all, it just magics in invisibly.
As for seeing what mod has a dependency this is only displayed on EACH steam page , ONE BY ONE which means if a Mod adds a mod that has its own, You can be searching 15 pages to find the single mod that is automatically loaded and is Currently crashing.
Please Add the Mod ID that is causing another Mod to be automatically loaded via the Dependency system, so we can trace what mod is loading this mod. It would be a god send for isolating problems, and incredibly helpful for users trying to remove a Mod that is solely as a dependency.
As currently, you can't know what mod is spawning what from the Mod Screen for your Save Games, or in the log, the Sole place that knows what mods have a dependency is per Steam Item Page which isn't easily reachable or practical.
Thank you.
