 Tips:
-- Use \`head -n 32 $0 > astronaut.conf.example\` to generate a default configuration file.
+- Use \`head -n 36 $0 > astronaut.conf.example\` to generate a default configuration file.
 - Keep in mind that when specifying options on the command line in a string, the first always takes priority.
     For example, in \"opt,someotheropt,!opt\", opt is enabled, due to it being the first occurrence.
 - If you have set \$dir_satellites in the config, you can omit the .sat suffix.
