Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.
Making Mindustry keep game save data in the mindustry folder or allowing the location to be configurable would allow people to run it from flash drives at various computers. It would also easily allow running multiple different versions for testing and such without having to import and export data.
Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.
It would allow more people to easily test the nightly builds. It would allow people who don't own their own computer or phone to play more easily.

You can do it by using the environment variable MINDUSTRY_DATA_DIR.
You specify the location of the data directory with that and voilà.
