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.
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. Have you used the Advanced Search today? Need help, question? FAQ -Wiki -Forum help I still like small signatures...
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.
