I'm converting my ZIP installation using --mod-directory to steam using Shortcuts. (ISP download issue, 3 hour download times for updates)
I've changed config-path.cfg to "__PATH__executable__/../../config"
Attempting to Launch
"E:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe" --mod-directory "..\..\fmm\Vanilla_Factorissimo"
However the game doesn't load with those mods at all.
Did some random testing installing "20x20Slots on Power Armor MK2"
Factorio Mods UI
And I can't find the actual location of that mod. A windows search can't find it in the Steam Folder, E:\Program Files\Factorio (my ZIP standalone folder) or APPDATA\Factorio.
Is there any way to find what folder Factorio is using to save/download this mod?
Running the game without --mod-directory works as expected with no mods loaded,
Config/Saves works as expected.

After some tracking and searching of the entire drive (E:) and found the folder.

instead of the intended
E:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\fmm\Vanilla_Factorissimo
It looks like Steam or Factorio isn't using the correct target location to allow use of "..\"

It looks like Steam is launching Factorio from E:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Factorio\, which sounds completely reasonable to me.
