Change mods location.

Post by samy01 »

I want to change mods location so i can benefit from my SSD "where my game is".
I tried following a guide using MKlink command but didn't work out and wanted to ask here.
I installed space exploration and the entire processes is slow when it comes to loading.

So i just want the mods folders to load from my SSD not from appdata folder.
I'm using the steam version BTW.

'--mod-directory PATH' command line option can change where the game loads mods.

Alternatively you can edit the config info to change where it read/writes all of it's user data. Wiki has info on that: https://wiki.factorio.com/Application_d ... _directory

Tried the command line and it didn't do anything.

There must be a way that works.
