Play from USB key?

[Tym]

I've searched the forums a few times now, but haven't located a satisfactory answer.

Vacation time is nigh, and I can't pack my iMac without my wife noticing. Failing that, is it possible to load Factorio onto a fast USB stick, and play from it on some other system?

Eh. Link to some reddit thread? Srsly?

Method 1:
Download "Zip Version" from official site. Unpack anywhere. Play anywhere.

Method 2 (if you want to save bandwidth and have intermediate computer knowledge):
Open config.ini and change paths accordingly. Zip version basically has this "built-in" but is otherwise identical.

Code: Select all

[path]
read-data=__PATH__executable__\..put..relative..path..here..
write-data=__PATH__executable__\..put..relative..path..here..

Method 3:
Leave everything factorio realted at home and try to enjoy some days of not being haunted by the factorio curse. You know you don't get many of those. :P
