Stellaris Mod Sorter

A modern, fast, and reliable tool to manage and sort your Stellaris mods. Written in Go, this application reads your mod configuration, sorts mods based on dependencies, tags, and custom rules, and writes the correct load order for the game.

---

✨ Features

• Automatic mod sorting based on dependencies, tags, and special rules
• Handles special cases for known mods (e.g., UI Overhaul)
• Backs up your existing configuration before making changes
• Cross-platform (works anywhere Go runs)
• Fast and robust thanks to Go's concurrency and type safety

🚀 Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd stellaris-mod-sorter-go

2. Install Go:

   • Download and install from golang.org

3. Download dependencies:

   go mod tidy

🛠️ Usage

1. Ensure your Stellaris mod configuration files (mods_registry.json, dlc_load.json, game_data.json) are in the correct Paradox Interactive Stellaris directory (the tool will auto-detect this on Linux and Windows).

2. Run the application:

   go run ./cmd/main.go

   • The tool will print the detected settings path, process your mods, and output the new sorted order.
   • Backups of your original config files will be created with a .bak extension.
