Two Factorio installations accessing the same saves

Post by Kayanor »

I've got the Steam version of Factorio installed on my computer, as well as the .ZIP version.
How do I "share" the \saves directory of the Steam version with the standalone .ZIP version? I want to use the same saves on both versions without having to manually synchronize them between the two saves folders.

Just copy the config.ini file from steam version to standalone one. It has a default one that makes it use local folder - can replace it or edit it to match paths for steam one.

Ok, I just changed the write_path to the AppData folder - works. 8-)
