    Can someone who has installed Planetary Annihilation via Steam please list the folder structure that it uses, including the directory it is installed to within Steam?

    The non-steam version is as follows (I only require the locations of the file/folders listed below):

    <Install Directory (by default, Program Files)>\Planetary Annihilation\PA\PA.exe
    <Install Directory (by default, Program Files)>\Planetary Annihilation\PA\media\ui\mods\
    Folders.PNG
    (ignore the "Old Builds" folder)

    Screenshot attached, I hope it helps. The media folder has the same structure obviously. It appears that the main difference is that there is no 'PA' folder in the root 'Planetary Annihilation' folder. PA.exe resides in this root folder, and there is no PALauncher.exe

    Happy to help if you need more.

    Also it might be worth noting that Steam lets you install games to different drives now. So in the screen shot I've attached, Steam is installed in a folder called Games on my C: drive. This is a non default installation btw, I think default Steam folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.

    So you might need to check the registry to determine the Steam install folder?

    Default configuration for Windows 7 64-bit:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation\PA.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Planetary Annihilation\media\ui\mods

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks all! Looks like it's identical to the PA folder in the non-steam version. The [mod manager] should now work in steam.
