--luadebug⚓︎

Normally, mods are restricted from doing anything harmful, like reading files from the file system or communicating over the network. Setting the --luadebug flag lifts these restrictions, allowing Lua code to use the require() function to require arbitrary files and to use the "socket.lua" library.

As the name implies, this should primarily be used by mod developers for debug purposes, not for general use. You should never enable --luadebug unless you have a very specific reason and you know what you are doing, as it could lead to your computer being compromised. Mods asking you to enable this without a specific reason (e.g. needing network capability) should probably not be trusted.

--load-room=⚓︎
