First off i have to say thank you to the community to here. I just got the game 3 days ago and i am EXTREMELY hooked, to the point of inviting my friends over so we can play space command in my living room. Along with that is the fact that i spent some time here reading and i have been very impressed with not only the quality and quantity of content put out by the community but the attitude as well, so bravo! That being said i was trying in a suicidal way to end up making the game more realistic (read harder) and have found some addons/mods that i wish to install. However many prolific posters on this forum have suggested making a backup install/back up saved games before attempting to add mods onto my game. So i guess there are a few questions here. Where is the steam game kept? How do i do a backup install? How do i do a backup of my saved game? Is there any difference for installing mods on a steam install vs a normal one? Has the .20 update really messed up mod installations so much that i should just wait(very very anxiously) while everyone updates their mods before i start my first mod experience to save myself the hassle? Thanks for all your help!
