The default location for saved scenes can be changed by defining it in an [auto.cfg](https://community.factoryio.com/t/customize-factory-i-o-at-startup-configuration-files/25) configuration file.

Create a file named auto.cfg by using a text editor (Notepad will do the trick) and add the following line: scene.my\_scenes\_path = r"C:\My Scenes" (replace the path by your own). Next, place this file in ’ _C:\ProgramData\Real Games\Factory IO_ '.

More information about the _auto.cfg_ file and its contents can be found in the [Console](https://docs.factoryio.com/manual/console/) section of the manual.
