Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Configured Defaults after installing it?
Create a folder named configureddefaults in your game or server directory, then place the config files and folders you want distributed inside it. On the next launch, the mod copies anything missing from that folder into the real config locations.
Does Configured Defaults overwrite configs players have already changed?
No, it only copies files that are missing. If a config already exists in the game directory, the mod leaves it alone, so player edits are preserved.
Where exactly does the configureddefaults folder go?
It goes in the same directory the mod scans for missing files, which is your main game or server instance folder. Files inside it mirror the paths they should be copied to, so a config for a mod goes in the matching subfolder.
Can I use Configured Defaults to force options.txt settings on first launch?
Yes. Place your prepared options.txt inside the configureddefaults folder, and it will be copied into the game directory when no options.txt exists yet. Once the file exists, the mod won't overwrite it.
