I've modded the base folder (saved a backup) but when i go in game and load my game, nothing changed, but when i start a new game, the changes can be seen though, so how do i make what i changed save-compatible?

If you changed something in the file control.lua, you have to copy it into the save manually.
If you changed recipes, use `game.player.force.resetrecipes()` in console, if you changed technologies, you need `game.player.force.resettechnologies()`.

Also, changing stuff in the base mod is generally not a good idea. When an update comes, it will fail and you will have to reinstall the game (or do some black magic and fix the installation).
For changing small stuff in the game it is best to create a small mod. A bare bones example mod is here: https://github.com/bluecube/factorio-example-mod .

oh... thank you very much!!!
well i did backed it up already. Btw, are there a list of console commands?

But I become now an Euro from you for that, because that could be found by Internet search.
