    I posted that already

    "{
    "name" : "Large Scale Builder (any)",
    "path" : ".",
    "dependencies" : []
    }"

    Well this is painful. Doesnt seem to be working for me either. Something must be broken cus I had it working at one time before.

    Like I said I don't seem to know what the problem is.

    Well it worked at one point. Something must have broken in the game since I last tested it.

    Another user ran into the same problem, and it seems they have resolved the issue;
    I'm sorry for my misguidance in my original post. I was unaware specific configuration files were not affected by the patch system (properly).

    How did they resolve the issue? Can you link me the forum post?

    They quoted the relevant post.

    "I just made a replacement .config file instead of a .config.patch"

    Although I see you already found it, a future tip is to use the little arrow pointing up in the quote to view the original post:

    I saw that. problem is that my defaultparameters wont pop back up no matter what I do.

    You still can't get the assets unpacked properly?
    Seeing how much trouble you're having, all I can do is suggest completely uninstalling and re-installing the game, removing any previous unpacks of the assets and redownloading the unpacker before using it (or manually unpacking the assets using the console).

    Oddly enough, the patch for the config seems to be working for me now. Maybe it was bugged before?
     
    loopnotdefined likes this.

    if you post the mod on here I will download it :D

    I just tried it myself, and the patch did not work. However, like TheElderScroller suggested and loopnotdefined confirmed, overwriting instead of patching the config works fine.

    I hope you can understand that if you can't get it to work for you, neither can we. If what's being told doesn't work for you, a mod download wouldn't work for you either.
    There's various reasons this may be, including but not limited to:
    • Conflicting mods (multiple mods overwriting the same file)
    • Version mismatch (modded file is meant for a different version of the game, most common when using outdated assets)
    • Improper mod structure (no (working) .modinfo file)
    • Files in the wrong place (eg. ../<mod>/defaultparameters.config instead of ../<mod>/items/defaultparameters.config)
    • Corrupted assets (unlikely, and would probably prevent the game from running, but try verifying the integrity of the game in Steam)
    • Mod in wrong storage folder (eg. ../koala_storage/<mod>/ instead of ../giraffe_storage/<mod>/)
    • I ran out of ideas, and probably missed a few obvious ones...
