::::::::::: Infrequently, packages that are highlighted in yellow or orange have not been installed according to the defined heirarchy. This can easily be corrected by right clicking on the package and selecting '''[Install Missing]'''. Afterwards, right click the package again and click '''[Anneal]''' or '''[Anneal All]''' to tell BAIN to consider all packages in the install list. The '''[Anneal]''' function simply tells BAIN to refresh its assessment of the defined install hierarchy and reapply those rules to correct any unintended conflicts. It never hurts to use this function frequently, and '''[Auto Anneal]''' should always be ticked in BAIN’s main context menu to honor the install hierarchy. | |||
::::::::::: Be strategic about the order in which things are installed and uninstalled, as any yellow-boxed package with a '+' symbol in it will need to be re-accessed by BAIN in order to install assets from higher-order mods that may be removed. If the overwritten package is very large (and 'solid'), it will significantly delay the uninstall of a conflicting downstream package being removed, regardless of the size of the package being removed. Even if the package being removed is being updated, then a lot of time can be saved by first positioning and ''installing'' the update, thus effectively 'blocking' the large, overwritten file from being accessed, since it will no longer be required for conflict resolution. | |||
