Changing the Factorio install location should detect whether Factorio is in the specified location about modmyfactory HOT 5 CLOSED

It actually crashed when I clicked OK on the "this folder will be copied" dialog.

The crash is not suprising. The Steam version of Factorio does not behave like the zipped versions. The location setting should therefore not be used to add the Steam version.
For now, there is no way to use the Steam version from within ModMyFactory. I will add support for it in a later patch, it's on my todo list.

It still wants to move the files from the folder to another folder because of how the app manages the different versions of the game.
Adding the Steam version of the game from folder (SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Factorio) however worked great for me.

But I guess Steam will then no longer detect the game, will it?
Anyway, I will add support for the steam version in a way that won't move any files so nothig will break.

The Steam version of Factorio is supported as of version 1.2.0.
