+And it'll load those directories in order.

+However, if you'd like to be very specific in how a game is run/branded/launched
+you should really use **FTE Manifest** files.

+Simply plop one into your game directory with the name `manifest.fmf`, then launch
+nuclide like so:
+
+```
+$ ./nuclide first_mod
+```
+
+and it will load `first_mod/manifest.fmf`. You can supply arguments to it by putting them into the second parameter with quotes like so:
+
+```
+$ ./nuclide first_mod "-window +set sv_cheats 1"
+```
 
 However, we advise you only do this for development. If you want proper multiplayer compatibility (slightly different filesystem mount setups can confuse client-server negotation) please use the built-in **Custom game** menu to ensure maximum compatibility to other clients.
 
+If you are running a dedicated server and have issues with multiple game directories, check the value of the cvar `sv_gamedir` on the server. It is meant to be a semicolon separated list of game directories, if multiple ones are supposed to be mounted.

 ## For release...
 
 You'll want to compile a custom build of the engine with your branding.
