Hi! im not sure if anyone has made this thread before or not, but i want to give my 2 cents on suggesting a Repository/Modding update i want to start with slightly refreshing the UI of the Repository, maybe hovering over a mod can expand it a bit and give a brief explanation + requirements and some screenshots, authors can also configure this. On the Mods Manager tab instead of "Missing mods, Completed, Downloading, Installed" being clumped into one tab, maybe it can have separate sub-tabs for em, for an easier viewing. "Show possibly broken mods" should give us more actions, info, or troubleshooting, maybe for actions you can straight up delete stuff from it, update if one's available or deactivate, troubleshooting can help you direct to the missing mods/packs/cores/configs related to it. I also think this can extend to gameplay, an ingame warning system is already available but sometimes it just gives us a clumps of directories and file names in a big red box on the corner, maybe instead of blocking quarter of our screen with a red box, it can just do something like "Critical failure occured! Click for more details" and once clicking it, it shows what happened, where did it happen, and what to do for it ingame, like disabling the related content for it, resetting it to see if itll fix itself, copy it to send to devs or forums to troubleshoot further, or even delete it if its a mod. Also ingame it can also help us with problems like, maybe a mod is missing parts that was advertised, it can flash an error message and say like "Modpack is missing parts from etc etc. You can try installing them separately or contact the author to update." or "Missing dependencies for "Modpack", please install "Core mod" for it to work." or "Missing textures on "thing", try clear cache and restarting the game, or if its a mod, please contact mod author for an update", all of em can have an option to copy the error to send to authors or devs, so they can pin point whats wrong. The 2 cents i gave have become a really big 2 cents unfortunately, but yeah these are just my ideas, thanks for reading.
