I just learned about native-search-paths when looking into your issue so 
I may be off about how it works...
What I understand is that native-search-paths add an entry to your 
/etc/profile when installed - for your default user profile it's 
$HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile. In our case, when installed, minetest 
sets the environment variable MINETEST_SUBGAME_PATH so the binary know 
where to looks for the games. But when called directly, as it's the case 
in a shepherd service, the /etc/profile file isn't sourced so the 
environment variable isn't set. That's why we need to set it manually in 
the service.
