Factorio Forums

Okay, I think I'm missing something here. I can't change game's "Write data path" from AppData to anything else, so I can't run dedicated server and game client simultaneously.
What I did:
1. Copied whole Factorio folder to a separate location (server instance).
2. Removed C:\Users\Soushi\AppData\Roaming\Factorio folder.
3. Changed use-system-read-write-data-directories to "false" in config-path.cfg

It keeps creating Factorio folder in AppData every time I start the client. Tried changing "config-path" in .cfg, it did nothing. What am I doing wrong here? Any ideas?

If you are going to play with your game client on the same server you want to host, you could just open a multiplayer game in the client. Or do you want to run a different server?

Yes, but I want to go dedicated, so that other people could play even if I'm not running the client.
