I have just downloaded and activated Starsector and several mods. I have placed the mods in the mods folder that was created during installation. I have both the zipped and unzipped folders in the mod folder. When I start the game (attempted in both normal and admin access) they game does not find any mods installed.
I believe the issue is that I installed the game not in the C drive as I use that drive specifically for my OS and storing important files and compressed back ups. When I changed the drive to my gaming harddrive it installed in Z:/Starsector. I have also, in an attempt to appease my friend who was trying to help, placed the starsector folder into a Fractal Softworks Folder (z:/Fractal Softworks/Starsector). Still no mods showing in the launcher.
I am thinking there is a command line somewhere in the game to search the mods folder in the C drive, but I don't know which file that would be (or why it doesnt change where to look based on the installation.) Any help in locating the file so I can redirect it to pull from the correct drive or some other solution would be extremely helpful.
