New to mods. Simple question

[B15hop]

Is it a given that mods will not work when a new release comes out?

Will things such as kopernicus/RVE/RSS/Galileos and the like always be broken due to updates? Or do you get lucky sometimes?

Thank you.

Kopernicus is a special case.  Yes, it will be broken every time.  It's written specifically to be locked to an exact version.

However, usually an update will not break most mods, especially if it's a point update (like going from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2.)

The major version updates will usually break a couple, but not most.

1.8 is a different story because they changed so much under the hood, one thing being a Unity update.  Unity updates tend to break a lot more.  A Unity update usually won't break part mods.

I believe there was another update this go-around that broke some legacy texturing methods, so that could affect part mods.

(Also moving to Add-on Discussions.)
