Hi all,
Quick one – for those of you who post stuff fairly often (mods, blueprints, maps, that sort of thing), do you just leave everything scattered across the forum, or have you set up some sort of single doc/kit where it’s all pulled together? I’m mainly interested in the practical side – how you actually keep track of your own work and make it easy for others to find, not theory. If you’ve tried a system like that, did it actually make things clearer, or do most people here just stick to individual posts?
Keeping Creations in One Place
Re: Keeping Creations in One Place
I occasionally create stuff meant as long term contribution. Nothing important, just stuff that comes up. I post this in the appropriate place, be it somewhere here in the forum, or in the wiki, or in factoriobin.com, and save a browser bookmark to my Factorio browser bookmark folder to find it again. If I need any of this again, I pull the corresponding link.
All those things are distributed to their proper locations, because people are primarily interested in content, not in content authors.
On my PC, I have a single top level folder for all of my personal data, work, documents, images, sheets, whatever, with a "games" subfolder inside and a "Factorio" subfolder inside that for local files and projects. My local data organization is inspired by this guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/15677/zen-and ... anization/
