Steam Cloud Saves/Custom Save location.

[jtaggert]

I play KSP on several different computers. Right now it's kind of an annoyance to try and sync up saves. Could support for steam cloud saves or just a custom save location be added at some point? I'd be happy to just point KSP to my Google Drive folder and do it that way. Sorry if this has already been suggested, I did try a forum search and looked through 25+ pages and found no other suggestions of this.

Here's a helpful solution for all your syncing needs (and one I use myself for most games). Install Bittorrent Sync and then set up your saves/mods/whatever folder as a synced folder. Then install BTSync on the other computer(s) and tell them to also sync those folders. Now your games will sync whenever at least two computers are turned on and have BTSync running in the background. In effect, it's just like Steam Cloud; there's an advantage however, in that BTSync tries to use your local network ~before~using an Internet connection. It's faster as a result and you never have to worry about Internet or service downtime.

Also while it may use the Bittorrent protocol, BTSync uses a unique key system to make it completely private for your own use. No need to worry about prying eyes or someone stealing your stuff. :3

While I agree that official Steam Cloud support makes sense for this game, unfortunately it's not an active feature at the moment. You gotta do what you gotta do until that time that it is.

I think it's been said that they're never going to integrate KSP directly with any of Steam's systems. Like, it's just available for purchase and download through Steam and that's it. I think the reason is that Steam is technically DRM and they want to provide KSP to us as a completely DRM-free game, even if we get it on Steam. Also, I think it'd complicate the update process if they had one DRM-free version of the game for every OS in addition to the Steam version of the game on each OS. But then, I don't know much about that stuff, so I could just be wrong on that >.>

Either way, while some people(myself included) would love to see a bit of integration with Steamworks for whatever reason, I don't think it's ever going to happen.
