Please stop using my OneDrive for logs and saves

Issue description

COI has always saved to my OneDrive, which is frustrating enough, but since the recent updates it's also now storing logs which are topping out near a gig so far. For those of us with only the free-tier of space (15GB), this is a huge amount of wasted space. Please use the game's Steam folder for at least log data, if you won't move everything over to there. I'm getting close to 600 hours into this game and this bug is really making me hate on this game. A lot of things on a Windows computer stop working when the cloud drive is full.

I have never seen a Windows game use OneDrive as a default for save files.
The Captain of Industry folder is placed into the Documents folder like many other games.

The Documents folder in OneDrive should not be the same as the one in your user folder.
If it is, then something is wrong with the way OneDrive is set up on your PC.

Also, it is very easy to move the Captain of Industry folder to any other drive or subdirectory, and place a Junction Link of the same name in it's place to point to where you moved the folder.

Not sure how your Documents ended up on OneDrive. But Update 1 changed the save location anyway, so this issue is gone no matter what. Marking as closed.
