Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game

Can't get custom test tracks to load (SOLVED! See solution inside)
I didn't want to directly necro an old thread so I created a new one to discuss this today: How do we get custom test tracks for Automation to load in 2024? I found this old thread with directions here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/293760/discussions/2/1499000547491829272/

And I found this section of the Automation forums here: https://discourse.automationgame.com/c/sharing/test-track-sharing-forum/46 that has multiple test tracks to download.

I downloaded a couple test tracks, put the test track's folder in Documents\My Games\Automation\Tracks and then go to start up the game and I don't see the newly added track in the list of test tracks in-game. What am I doing wrong? How do we do this? All of the information I find about this dates back to like 2015 - 2017 and I can't find any information on custom test tracks more recently like 2023+. Does anyone know how to do this with today's version of the game?

EDIT: I found this thread over here: https://discourse.automationgame.com/t/are-tracks-broken-now/43391/4

I went to AppData\Local\AutomationGame and created a "Tracks" folder and put the folders for tracks in there, go to start the game and get in-game and on test tracks the selector doesn't show any of the community-created mod tracks that I added. So that doesn't work either.

EDIT #2: SOLVED! For anyone else trying to figure this out the location for this has changed like 10 times over the years from all the updates to the game and it's NOT documented where this folder moves to each time. As of the time of writing this message the proper folder for custom tracks is here: AppData\Local\AutomationGame\Saved\UserData\Tracks
