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.

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