Deleting config files will reset them. This can be useful if the game is borked
and won't start.
For debugging and troubleshooting, the output_log.txt file is in the _Data folde
r in the game install folder.
Why is it like this? Modern operating systems separate changing data from progra
m installations for several reasons:
-First, it allows different users to have different save and config data
.
-Second, it enhances security, because it allows the program to run with
out having permission to write to disk anywhere outside its own little save fold
er.
OVERRIDING:
You can override the save data folder. This is useful, for example, if you want
to install the game on a USB stick so you can plug and play it from anywhere.
To do this, add this to the end of the command line used to launch the game:
-savedatafolder=C:/Path/To/The/Folder
So it'll look something like this:
C:/RimWorld/RimWorld.exe -savedatafolder=C:/Path/To/The/Folder
If you don't start the path with anything, it'll be relative to the game's root
folder. So you could do this, to have the game save data in a folder called Save
Data in its own root folder:
-savedatafolder=SaveData
Be sure the game is running with permission to modify the folder. It may not wor
k properly if, for example, you run the game under default permissions on its ow
n install folder.
