The mod menu needs to have a delete quene and a way to update mods through steam or do it slowly in the background. it takes an hour to update half of my mods so it needs to be quicker. Deleting mods takes five minutes each so a way to put them together and delete them all at once would speed it up for me because I have 600 mods so itlli take to long one by one.
If you click that red X next to mod name, it removes mod, it can't surely take 5 minutes each? --- Post updated --- Also you can go to documents/BeamNG.Drive/mods and delete mods from there.
I tried doing that before as it was either, but they redownload through the repository every time I relaunch the game, like it was deleted from the files and not the actual code (orwhateveridfk)
I guess if you remove db.json then they might not do that, db.json is in same folder with mods and removing that should not harm as it should just rebuild itself with mods currently in folder. Disabling automatic mod updates should also prevent automatic downloads.
