Various mods not working

[Offutticus]

I strayed from the game for a few months and before I started a new game, I ensured the following was up to date:
r2modman - 3.1.28
all mods it listed
DSP itself

Started a game and all seemed well.

Later on, I needed something fast so dropped a splitter, made one output, and filtered it for the item. Nothing happened. This action is the responsibility of FreeStuff. After some investigation, I switched FreeStuff for Creative_Provider. It doesn't work either.

I went through the mods and discovered other mods were not working either.
(I started to list them all here and realized there's a lot not working!)

I verified the game's files
I uninstalled DSP, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, and still no joy.
I verified game files again.
No red error messages.

I did contact the Creative_Provider mod on Github but haven't gotten any response. I got the feeling FreeStuff is dead or delayed.

What else can I do to find the issue?

Thought I would ask before I started the wonderful joy that is turning off all mods and going through them one-by-one.

How do you start the game?
For mods installed through r2modman to work you have to start the game from the r2modman interface with the 'Start modded' button at the top left.
If you start through the steam interface or use the 'Start vanilla' button in r2modman the game is started without mods.

I have always started through a regular shortcut to the game itself. I've only started the game once through r2modman and it gave me a red error box. Let me generate it again.

[Dirkels]

Don't think r2modman itself has caused that error but rather one of the activated mods.

It's official, here's my sign. I'm an idiot. My forehead is sore from banging it on my desk. Don't y'all hurt yourself facepalming.

That was my problem all along. I used a shortcut for the game, not the button inside r2modman. I really don't remember using it to start the game before I took my break, but I must have been.

I've been slowly adding mods and testing. So far, so good. No red box, all working.

Seriously, I'm an idiot.

We all have had moments like that, at least I did. Glad it now works :-)

Are you the same Dirkels by any chance that made the Free Create and Remove Mod for the game, and do you have any plans to update it as it no longer works with the current version of the game?

See my answer in your own thread, but in short: No, it is obsolete.

PS: for those too lazy to look for the other thread, this functionality is now part of the vanilla DSP through the traffic monitor building.
