Moving user data from appdata to gdrive, on multiple computers
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 7:30 am
Hi,
I am trying to play Factorio on multiple computers (not at the same time mind you)
I want to keep my saves, blueprints, mods etc in sync between these, so ideally everything which is under %appdata%\Factorio would be moved to %USERPROFILE%\Google Drive\Sync\Factorio\UserData16.51
I have to use %USERPROFILE% as my username is different on these computers
I kind of see how this would be achieved, but I am not 100% sure how I would use the %USERPROFILE% variable in the ini file, do I need to update both the read and write directory config? What variables can be used in these values, I see executable location, and system folder, but I am unsure of any other variables that are usable in the ini file.
Then I suppose all I'd have to do is start up factorio and have it use the ini file in that config folder?
