Motivation / Problem
It can be difficult to figure out exactly where to put various files for the game to find them, especially if you're running a headless (dedicated) server and need to upload files by SFTP or similar.
Description
This adds a console command that lists all the search directories for all the interesting game data files, as well as the default locations for save, autosave and screenshot files.
Limitations
Potentially leaks some system information when used over remote console, should this have a protection against that?
