I'm playing on linux+steam. Is there an easy way to make a clean sandbox, with no mods, besides going to the workshop and unsubscribing to all of them? Also, is it possible to easily choose "sets" of mods and alternate between them? I need those to test a mod by itself, and how it behaves with some other, without some others, etc.
My system is far from efficient but i use the steam "collections" feature to quickly subscribe and unsubscribe from groups of mods. In my local environment i just block mod folders by marking them hidden. I'm very eager to see what other kind of solutions people use for this, i could definitely stand to up my game.
Very nice idea, gonna do that, though, well, I have a couple hundred mods installed. That will take some time, but I think it's worth the effort. Thanks for the idea.
Steam in offline mode is sufficient to skip loading all workshop mods. Mods in \starbound\mods\ would still load, and those could be your mods. You could also build some scripts that move certain sets to and from external storage directories. Probably not necessary though, but it could be done. Or the collections as mentioned
More than setting your status to offline. When Steam cannot contact the server during startup, it can start instead in offline mode.
Yes, that's how I understood it initially. That is definitely the way it's handled on every one of my machines and I really don't remember changing any settings. Odd.
There is a config file you might have added the workshop path to. Besides that, symbolic linking? I'm in offline a lot, because my internet is cellular tethering lol.
