Need help with Steam please - tweety - 10-25-2017 So, I just bought a new computer that has 2 drives. The C drive has windows and is 128Gb, the D drive is a terabyte. I figured out how to install Steam to my D drive, which all went fine, but it is keeping my saves on my C drive in my documents folder. I can't find anyway to change where it will save games. I have some large Banished saves and don't want them on my C drive. Has anyone else ran into this and found a solution? Steam is useless for help! And wow does Banished play way better now on my new computer! thanks in advance! Need help with Steam please - tweety - 10-28-2017 So, someone on Reddit was kind enough to help me figure out how to use an mlink so that now my game can see and open my previous saves, but this does not take care of the problem of saved games taking up room on my C drive. Tons of people these days are buying computers with 2 drives now, C being the one that has windows on it and usually not a very large drive, so is there any way to create a mod for the game that will ask you where you want to store your saved games? It seems like this would be a great addition. And had I known any of this, I would have bought a larger C drive... Need help with Steam please - Ketchup - 10-28-2017 no the toolkit doesnt allow us to mod this change of where to store your saves. the toolkit is very limited to : make building, make resource, change texture here and there and thats pretty much. it is not a programming tool which would allow you to change the way the game is executing.

Need help with Steam please - estherhb - 10-29-2017 @tweety - Have you presentedthis question to the Banished Discussion group on Steam? If anyone knows, one of them should. My husband has Steam and all of his saved games on his D drive - but that's where he installed it from the beginning. It may be that if you reinstall Banish, you'll be given the option as to where your saves are stored. Need help with Steam please - tweety - 10-29-2017 Quote: yes, I did ask there and I got no help. Apparently it's not a steam thing anyway, it's up to the game on where it wants to store games. And this is a brand new computer and so I did find the instructions to install steam on my D drive, which I did, but banished still wants the saves on the C drive... thanks though... Need help with Steam please - estherhb - 10-29-2017 Like I said my husband installed Steam and all of his game saves go to his D drive including Banished. He showed the save folder to me, so I have to believe there's a way to do this when you set up Steam and/or Banished. It's just been so long, we aren't sure what he did. Sorry we can't help you fix it. Need help with Steam please - tweety - 10-29-2017 Quote: well crap, I wish I knew what he did differently! It also would be good to put the info into the FAQ's in this forum.. with all the people buying computers now with 2 drives, I wasn't the only one trying to google this and find an answer... Need help with Steam please - khemari - 10-29-2017 Hi, you got me curious and I went googling and found this at http://www.dummies.com/computers/operating-systems/windows-10/how-to-change-the-location-of-user-folders-in-windows-10/ Quote: I had Banished already installed on an SSD C drive with it saving to Documents on C drive. So I tried relocating the Documents folder to an external drive and it works very well - Banished can both read old saves and write new ones!!!!!! First impression is that Banished gameplay is running much faster like this - which may be because the SSD is now less burdened. Hmmm ... think I might do the same with my Desktop and Downloads.

I just figured this out for myself [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" /> Color me stupid. I did not know I could just move the documents folder to another drive, but now I do! Solution to problem was so simple! And you're right, it does start up faster and I found out on Windows 10 in settings, storage, you can tell windows where to save each folder, which was a handy thing I overlooked... |
