It is believed, but not proven as yet, that the same holds true for files in the local Steam Workshop folder. The exact same files simply swapped between the folders without any other changes causes the one in the 'last' folder, alphanumerically (which is B-tree order for Windows) to win every time. The dates of files or folders (creation, last modified, or accessed) doesn't matter.Īny data or entry in the mod's files doesn't matter. The order of the mods in the XComModOptions.ini file doesn't matter. If you have three mods with conflicts in the local 'mods' folder, using subfolders 001, 002, and 003, then the one in folder 003 will win every time. It is 100% determined by the foldernames of the mods, using an alphanumeric type function.Ĭontrolled by the file/folder handling routines of the OS, not the game. So I have tested how loadorder works using local files.
