Why does the .Starmade folder exist?

[SolitaryPoet]

Why does the .Starmade folder even exist if the game just gets installed on the desktop? How do I use the .Starmade folder so I don't have to clutter up my desktop with starmade folders?

The Starmade folder contains game binaries, universe you are playing in single and multiplayer, and all blueprints.

If you have any executable on your desktop, you are doing it wrong though. Move the exe and folder somewhere else, and make just a shortcut to it on desktop.
