[1.1.94] factorio binary looks for steam_appid.txt in working directory only
Posted: Thu Nov 02, 2023 3:47 pm
I have steam_appid.txt in the same directory as my factorio binary, which is sufficient to get the factorio modding toolkit vscode extension working. However, when I run the binary directly, I still get the behavior where it relaunches the game. If I change my working directory to where the binary is, it doesn't do that. I think it should look in the directory where the binary is located, even when run from somewhere else.
