How is the feature request related to the problem?

No response

Describe your proposed solution

Let the user to select download cache folder to another drive etc.

For example, i have 130 GB of storage on main SSD and i cant install GIGlb cuz of big archives. If i'd select second HDD drive as cache -> i can download archives on it and then install game on main SSD.

By default cache folder would be %GameFolder%.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Download archives to overridden folder then patch/install game with hdiff/7z.

Additional context

Can help to manage space on 2 drive devices.

Heyyo~! Thank you for submitting enhancement request for Collapse!
Due to IRL situations we cannot implement this just yet, but here are some alternatives you can do :

  1. Make a hardlink to the downloaded file
    You can do that by doing this command
mklink /H {path to your game folder}/{full filename of the package} {path to the actual file}
  1. Use Game Repair as the way to install/update the game
    Note that this method is slower due to having to download each files separately instead of one big archive.
    For updating, simply edit the config.ini file in your game folder to the current version of the game. Then restart Collapse. Once you loaded in, go to game repair and do a full repair. This will check and then prompt you to download all the files necessary to run the target version you desired.
    Note that this will only work when the game target version becomes live (not a preload).

For installing, you can use our sister project, MinimalInstaller
