Changing the location of the save file/config files

[middlemonster]

Do you or will you ever support the ability to change the location of where Rimworld saves config and save files?

If you do, what is the procedure to do so? I want to put Rimworld on a USB flash drive and run it off the drive and save on the same drive. This would allow me to run the game at work or the library without putting anything on the PCs themselves. I use windows.

Because demand is very small and this is remarkably complicated to do across multiple platforms, it's unlikely this will become a feature any time soon.

You can use folder mirroring programs to achieve a similar effect.

A low-tech solution to make life easier, is make a new library and/or add the folder with the saved games to your Favorites in Windows Explorer.  This cuts down on the drilling to the right folder.

Also, don't close Windows Explorer when you do this.  Just leave it minimised while you're playing Rimworld and when you're done playing you can restore the window and Send the save file over to your USB drive.

To do folder mirroring, you'd have to install something... not always practical... I've just been searching all over and it seems silly that you can't just have the save folder listed in a config XML somewhere...
