BuildCraft doesn't need a config folder [minor]

BuildCraft's config is stored in config/buildcraft/main.conf, when it could just as easily be config/buildcraft.cfg like most other mods.
No. Changing config file location is a huge hassle while the current way of doing it with a subfolder is in keeping with 90% of mods, a single folder takes up exactly as much "space" as a single file and if at some later point additional configs are wanted or needed, they can be added without hassle.
On the last modpack I used, 21% of things in the config/ folder were folders.
It's not a huge hassle:
File oldConfigFile = whatever we have now;
File newConfigFile = new File(configDir, "buildcraft.cfg");
if(oldConfigFile.exists() && !newConfigFile.exists() && !oldConfigFile.renameTo(newConfigFile))
throw new RuntimeException("Failed to move old config file "+oldConfigFile+" to "+newConfigFile);
and are you saying all mods that don't use folders are doing it wrong?
There is no point to your proposed change. See my first reply for the reasons to keep it. You are wasting time with something which isn't even a problem in the first place.
it doesn't matter where the config file is storred, as long as the people that need it know where to find it
I also jump in this conversation to make it more useless and funny. But now to the talk.
The config folder should stay because there are a lot mods that using BC or have wroting a addon to it. So they can use he folder to make it more sorted. Also i like folders more than a lot of config files which by the way some will be created as fake. Whyever.
I agree with Speiger here. It's a lot easier to have your BC config files in one folder than to have them spread around.
i guess he didn't have any blueprint in his config folder, shame on him, blueprints are awesome!
