[.14.5] [Twinsen] Minor - auto update and --mod-directory

[Nexela]

Minor issue

Tested with --mod-directory, possibly affects other commands

Start factorio from the command line using "factorio.exe --mod-directory ..\..\mods2"
Use the in game updater to download and install update
Factorio restarts without --mod-directory

Can you post your log? Because it should work that way since 0.13.12

Tested with 64bit windows.zip version.14.4 from factorio.com

• clean Installed to E:\Games\Factorio_Web\Factorio_Testing (I also put the shortcut to bin/x64/factorio.exe here)
• shortcut target: E:\Games\Factorio_Web\Factorio_Testing\bin\x64\factorio.exe --mod-directory ..\..\othermods
• for the sake of testing I manually put 1 mod in "othermods" and kept "mods" empty (more_floors_1.0.4)
• entered my user/password, verified mod was active in mods tab.
• Options/other/enable experimental updates
• about/check for updates and update now to .14.5
• restart update successful
• checked mods tab for active mods. only base mod is there.
• exit and mod-list.json is created in "mods" folder

Oh, I see. For some reason I thought you are talking about updating mods, not an entire game.
Thanks for the report.
Fixed for 0.14.6 (that means update 0.14.6 to 0.14.7 will work correctly for the first time)
