I already read the readme, the problem is that rimworld will start but the command won't appear so I cant change where the save data is supposed to go. How do you start or open the command window for rimworld or edit the game so that the save data changes to a specified location.
It would be helpful if you said what Operation system you use.
For window's you just could write a batch file for that or
you maybe create a new desktop shortcut.
Then you open the properties of the shortcut.
At the first line you could edit, you find the .exe entry, just add the -savedatafolder behind that.
If the new destination got a blank at the name you need to put it into "".

That didn't work. Name of folder or location-wise
An example how it need to look:
D:\Games\RimWorld2150Win\RimWorld2150Win.exe -savedatafolder=D:\Games\RimWorld2150Win
So does the separate command line no longer show up
Also that didn't work my saves still won't save in the same directory as the game.
I use a 'dos' style batch file with'
".\RimWorld2150Win.exe" -savedatafolder=SaveData
'
as the entire contents of the batch file (and the batch file in the game folder), and yes my saves folder is inside the game folder (on 32 bit version) for the 64 bit just make sure the rimworld####win64.exe is the executable (with the #### being the rimworld version number from the rimwolrd exe file)
Here is a link to a post I made a while back that has some step-by-step instructions for doing custom setups:
