I'm playing tribal, but I've noticed both flood lights and heavy power conduits are things I can build.

The problem is I'm running numerous mods, including 3 core libraries.

1 - Where can I find out which mod these 2 items are from
and
2 - How can I edit these 2 items so that I am unable to access them until after inventing electricity


1A - I know one way to do it is to turn off all the mods and turn them on one by one. I'm doing this as we speak, and, likely, will have this process finished before anyone responds to this thread; but in the future, and for other players; is there a better way to do this?

2A - In particular, how would someone unfamiliar with modding find specific entries or files relating to single items they may not like so they can edit these things themselves.


Edited to add
I found the mod containing these items; but I wont list it here as that's not the point of the thread - the point is what is a better way to find it than turning on and off all my mods, and, how can I edit these items now that I've found them.
