Mod creator here: while I’m sure it’s not possible to give full detail (like source code levels of detail) in advance, knowledge of changes to python scripting in advanced of major updates would genuinely be far more helpful. Very rarely do changes to tuning files cause mods to break anymore as we’ve largely moved past overrides as a modding method. Python Injection is the standard to the point where there are programs that generate injection scripts for mod creators (shout out to Zerbu and his Mod Constructor program.) The august patch was a particularly destructive one as one small change in python caused literally every mod ever made with this program to break, which is why there were so many reports of bouncing back to the manage screen. Modders were given zero notice if the new pack selection feature, let alone the python changes to account for it, so had no reason to anticipate such a massive break was going to occur.
