Did the recent steam forced asteroid update break mods?

As we all know the second official mod Asteroid Day is out. As a stand alone mod. Recently a steam forced update has caused the whole game to reinstall with the new mod. Despite us already having it installed separately. If that new complete install has overwritten files provided by modders. It will break the mods. So far I have seen a major bug appear in my game where science instruments have lost some right click functions. Is really related to a steam forced install?

The reason I am asking is if this happened a few mod creators might be off chasing silly bugs caused by bad installs and not the mod itself. Comments please?

Are you sure it wasn't 1.0.3 or 1.0.4 that updated? The only way to install the official mod is through manually downloading it as far as I am aware.

You sure about the assertion there was a forced update on Steam for this? I see no record of it being installed, nor is an update appearing in my Steam download queue.

Just rebooted Steam to be sure, and still see nothing related to this.

No.

Updates don't touch addons, whether from Squad or from 3rd parties, so your previously installed Asteroid pack is using the same files it did previously.

I see no whole game reinstall here, not sure what your issue is, so I'm moving this to Support.

Haven't seen a KSP update since the 1.0.4 update.

If you're having problems, the first thing I'd try is verify your KSP install. Steam's patcher is usually pretty good, but not without its issues.
