Is cogfly supposed to install Bepinex on it's own?

from what I understand Bepinex is supposed to be in the files next to the silksong installation itself, but it's not there for me and there's no seperate mod to install in the cogfly profiles, there's a Bepinex file when i open the profile folders but not in the silksong installation folder (is game directory the right term?)

Is the game modded when you launch it with Cogfly?

Answer to ^that aside, BepInEx technically doesn't need to be in the game installation itself (and specifically the traditional Thunderstore Installers do not put it in the game's files).

My understanding is that Cogfly does put it in the game's file, but I believe it does so when you launch the game.

I have launched the game multiple times and no mods load, it's been launching with steam even when steam is closed

(also i accidentily made a copy of this post should I delete that one?)

Is there a doorstop file in your game's install?

IIRC if that file is there, currently Cogfly won't realize it needs to add Bepinex

I re-launched cogfly and it fixxed itself, I dont know why didn't think of that before

I'll go ahead and delete the copy of this post as well
