When launching a game or a mod via the command line, you can pass optional arguments which will affect the way the game is loaded. It can be useful for mods which require custom assets and scripts, or if you want to customize it further than that.
An example of useful arguments to use in a Windows .bat file, to start a mod in developer mode:
AmnesiaRebirth.exe -user Dev -cfg config/main_init_dev.cfg -mod local:MyMod
