how should i go about keeping my factorio install safe when using this mod?
DISCLAIMER: THIS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK, YOU STILL TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE EVEN WHEN USING THESE STEPS.
copy and paste your entire factorio folder in appdata/roaming, and then continue normally. once you are done using the mod or your install of factorio is no longer bootable, delete your current factorio folder and rename the copy to "factorio".
