Move dat mods folder

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Move dat mods folder

Post by nuhll »

Since i have to manually add mods in last time quite often it would be really cool if you could move the mods directory to /documents/factorio

Its much easier to get to instead of goin to hidden AppData directory...

Also you could please add a remove mods option ingame. And or a button to go direct to the mod folder... :)

That option is implement with latest release (0.13.10): --mod-directory

But I really dunno what's complicated on "%appdata%\factorio\mods" instead of "Documents\factorio\mods". :)

The wish to delete mods is already suggested and linked somehow, I won't add it here.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

How many ppl u know which use %appdata% (or know it atleast?) :lol:

Other games also save their things under documents, thats why i asked to change.

All that users, that read the forum (it's for example directly linked viewforum.php?f=18 Gameplay Help), or those, who look into the wiki (link on the first page to https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... _directory), or those that can use Google https://www.google.de/search?q=factorio+mods+directory
;)

Edit: %appdata% is recommended by Microsoft and pseudo standard.
There are also suggestions to have a button in-game that opens an explorer window to the right directory. I find that much more useful. :)
