Make sure Factorio was started once so that the write files are created (you should have mods and config directories in ~/factorio)

In your case you normally don't need to edit the config.ini file since ~/factorio is in the standard path list

Been using factorio for a while. It does run fine from /home/steam/factorio once the config was gone. Just an issue when parsing the config file.

I just tried locally and had the error so there is definitely something wrong here, I'll look into it.

I just did a 0.6 release, this should fix you original issue and your paths shouldn't be ignored from the config file anymore.
