i Move assets to separate mod

a month ago

Have you considered moving the assets (images, etc) into a separate mod? This way, we users don't have to redownload a lot of sprite sheets when (checks changelog) a typo is fixed.

The maker of the Planet Rubia mod does this, as does Earandel with Space Exploration, and it greatly improves the download times when there are only coding or string changes.

This is just my opinion but I prefer that theres no seperate assets. It makes my mod list shorter and easier to tell what is what. Mod download/update time is really short anyway.

I will do this at some point, because I expect that the mod may become too much for 1 file. Like I may not be able to upload to the portal at all.
Expect it no earlier than the 0.4 drop when the rework is out.

And yes, I also know that re-downloading all assets because I changed 1 character is also annoying.

Perform a proposed refactor as part of an ongoing rework and refactor. Makes perfect sense to me.

For the record, I wasn't complaining about the typo fix patch. "Release what you have when you have it" is my own preferred method of publishing. I'd be a hypocrite to complain about others following the same mentality. It merely made the perfect example to illustrate the benefit.

I did not take it as anything negative, and I understand the benefits. :)

I didn't want to do it for now, because I was swapping a lot of assets out or moving them elsewhere (the parallel lab that will get a little more attention was in this mod as well at some point).
