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?) :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. :)
