Quilt Bisect

Quilt Bisect works as a Quilt loader plugin that finds the mods responsible for a problem, using a search method based on binary search. It can also handle n-way mod incompatibilities, and the game restarts automatically between test runs so the user does not have to relaunch by hand. Each bisect step is logged, and the active state, including the settings tried, is kept in a file at quilt bisect/active bisect.json.

Because it ignores dependency ordering and only force-loads the mods in the mods folder, the required mods of the candidate set are still loaded, while optional mods load only when another mod requires them. Once a bisect identifies a minimal reproduction set, that set contains only the mods the culprit depends on, which means the mod set must still reproduce the fault before any mod is blamed. The author recommends testing with Quilt Crasher, which was written for that purpose, and treating the tool with care because of how bisecting works.
