Files for configuration that are written to disk on every session should be stored in the "PluginData" folder. #143

This is to avoid module manager rebuilding the patches on each game loading instead of using the much faster cache. Read this for more information: https://github.com/m4v/RCSBuildAid/issues/32.

Is there a specific file that ModuleManager claimed was changed in FAR? My understanding was that FAR has done this correctly since forever.

There is exactly one file that will change every time the game loads: FerramAerospaceResearch/Plugins/PluginData/config.xml. Note that it is already within PluginData.

All other files that can change (the CustomFAR*.cfg files) 1) cannot be placed inside of PluginData because they act through MM, and so must trigger a MM rebuild when they change, and 2) in standard usage do not change between sessions unless modified using the in-game settings, by another mod or by a mod manager.

Therefore, this feature is already implemented to the fullest extent that it can be.
