Allow users to choose save location

#1 Post by noboruwatanabe »

I built my PC several years ago, when SSDs were new, small, and expensive. Accordingly, I only use my SSD for the OS and essential (work) programs. TOME by default saves to the /users/ folder, and it requires a little bit of hoop-jumping to move that save location (using things like junction or symlinks) to an acceptable location.

Why not either store the saves in the TOME folder, or allow the user to decide where saves are to be stored?

I agree, my main drive is an SSD as well and I don't really want tome to eat up my chip life.

Storing things inside the game's own folder is so outdated (and wrong since it breaks multiusers) :)

You can however pass a "--home c:/...." parameter to change wher it stores things; someday the launcher will be able to do that
