can default folder for saves be changed?

My apologies if this was answered before, but I cannot find the info myself.

Currently, upon launch, Steam downloads the game info into the folder "C:\Users\[user]\Documents\Klei\OxygenNotIncluded\". Further game and mods info are also placed there.

I'd like to know if it's possible to tell ONI or Steam to put it at a different location (say "C:\Klei\*.*"), and if so, how.

I know one can move the Documents folder but this is not an option for me. Creating shortcuts don't work for me as well.

The best I know how to do is creating a symbolic link or junction. Years ago this would sometimes cause a warning in game (something like unable to save / not enough space?) but there were no real issues I noticed from it. You do this by doing

mklink /d "symbolic location" "actual storage location"

If you do this you can store things in e.g. your dropbox folder to automatically sync between computers and back them up using your own service.

You can also create a junction using /j instead of /d, which is very similar in function. I'm not really sure which is more appropriate. (Further reading)

Thanks. I read about mklink as well. My problem is my Documents folder is under the OneDrive installation in my PC. I'd like Klei's folder to be separated. A mklink, I believe wil allow One Drive to sync the folder, thus defeating the whole idea.
