Is there a way so i dont need to uninstall-reinstall mods switching between the two?

Hi, mods aren't officially supported, but as far as I know, you should be able to just move the mod related folders to somewhere else for the duration of your stay on Experimental. Best bet is to make sure with community members that made them, either on our mod.io or Discord[discord.com] server.

Over 200 hours in your game. I know mods are not supported, i was not asking for offical support. I was wondering if there is a way to easily switch between a mod and non profile from folks who may know.
While discord maybe the best way it is not something I enjoy using. if dont get an answer here i will just wait

I would say have two separate installs of the game, (one modded in a certain location and the exp/main as the default steam dir) but the game refuses to launch in a separate location. It always launches the steam dir Timberborn.exe.

And writing this message, this game is the only one that boots up like that I tested. I wasted like an hour to see if it was a mod loader config/setup. I also tried this with vanilla installation as well to see. And it still launches the Steam Dir .exe

And finally answering if you can play exp and modded at the same time, I will say, not likely. You will need to use separate installs of the game to do so, like how I do it for other games and a modloader will be forced in Update 4.


But I'm an idiot and suffer from "brainrot" so you can still try the separate install trick and adding the separate to the steam library as a non-steam game or launching manually because I might've mess something up on my end or again, I'm an idiot.

Since Bepinex is responsible for all mods, I guess taking just one file off the Timberborn main folder should do the trick.
EDIT And put it back in when you want to play with mods.

I was thinking that maybe the way. I will give it a try

I have been playing update 5 without moving any mod. The majority of mods do not work, but leaving them didn't hurt the gameplay. And mods are being updated already, I can see from mod manager.

EDIT: I found the following information on TB discord:

Now... I just have to figure out how to disable mods, heh.

I think just dropping the winhttp.dll that BepInEX adds will do it

So that is the file to delete (or move out temporarily) to avoid mods loading.
