7. Preferences: Opening Preferences, you can configure default settings. Choose Preferences under Planet Factory. (See Screenshot 1-23.) Then a window sheet will open.
The initial release comes with five checkboxes under the General settings. (See Screenshot 1-24.) Let's quickly go over each of them.
7b) Folders: There are two group boxes under this tab. (See Screenshot 1-25.) The drop-down menu inside the top group box is used to specify the default open-folder path. When you attempt to open a project file by choosing Open under File, this path applies. By default, it's set to Documents. Explore the drop-down menu and choose Other... to set an alternative default path. (See Screenshot 1-26.)
The drop-down menu inside the second group box is used to select the default path for saving project files to your disk. It also applies when you save a project file by choosing Save Progress As... under File. The default path is set to Documents as well.
7c) Export: Under this tab, you can set your default export format and JPEG compression rate. (See Screenshot 1-27.) The default export format is PNG. So if nothing is selected, Planet Factory will automatically choose PNG. And the default compression rate is set to 85%.
When you finish configuring default settings, click on Save. And Planet Factory will save changes. If you instead click on Close, Planet Factory will close this window without saving changes.
