I don't know why you think it's a bug, since its intended behaviour :)

 

One way to resolve your problem is to redirect "saves" directory to point to a directory on your flash drive.

You can do it by creating "Junction" link:

cd <user's documents>\Klei\InvisibleInc

mklink /D /J saves <path to a directory on your flash drive>

 

And remove/copy your normal directory (saves) from that path so that there is only "Junction" directory left.

I tried it on Win 7 and it worked.

 

Another way is to change .lua files (if they invoking "saving" from Lua) but you will need to patch those files every time after update.
