Ive set synthesis up through MO2, But I cant stop synthesis from using temp folder instead of outputting into where I am telling it to (mo2 synthesis output folder).

You shouldnt try to trick synthesis' outputing logic. It will always first go into the temp folder (it writes there in between each patcher to pass along to the next). It finishes the pipeline by copying the result to the data folder specified as a capstone step.

You're failing before it gets there. My guess is it doesn't like the extra space on 1 - SorcererPatcher ala this issue
Try removing the space from the group and see how it does.

Ill see about getting that card done for the next release

Thanks for the response! That fixed the issue, I deleted and reloaded the patcher for the sorcerer mod, and it worked straight away. I dont know how the extra space got there honestly. Again, thank you!
