Clearly I am misunderstanding something basic about either wrye bash, zmerge, or both.
I have merged some mods using zmerge, activated the merged mod, and the esps which were part of the merge are unticked in MO2.
When I run wrye bash, it adds some of the unticked esps to the bashed patch masters, and reticks them.
What should I be doing to make sure my merges are ready to be bashed, and the 'component' esps are ignored?
