Starbound Add Mods To Server Windows 10
This video gives visual examples for both 'Automatic / In-game Repository' and 'Manual' methods
In-Game Repository
Starbound mods add and modify existing features within Starbound. These mods can include changes such as new game mechanics, ships, NPCs, game improvements, and much, much more! To add Starbound mods on your server, begin by downloading those mods.
How To Make A Starbound Mod
| This section is being updated |
- Add the server executable via the add a non-steam game to your library menu Then you can launch it along starbound wether it is before or after you launch the game. If you want to launch both the server and the game from the entry in your library, you can't, you cannot launch the same program twice with steam.
- Starbound has been built from the ground up to be multiplayer and easily moddable. You have the tools to make the universe your own and modify the game to suit your play style - add new races, biomes, dungeons, and quests - the possibilities are limitless.
An in-game repository has been added in version 0.11 of the game.From there it's possible to browse and subscribe/download mods directly in-game.
(to be expanded soon..)
Installing Resources (Manual / .ZIP Method)
| Instructions | Image |
|---|---|
| Download your mods from your preferred site. If from BeamNG.com/resources, you can use the orange 'Download' button. Mods must be in a properly structured ZIP file. | |
| Move the ZIP in User-Folder/mods. The User-Folder is by default located in Documents/BeamNG.drive. You can check where your is, from the Game Launcher > Manange User Folder menu. The path is written at the bottom, and you can open it by clicking the Open in explorer button. If you don't have a mods folder in that location, you can create one (the name of the folder cannot be different!) Do not extract the content from the ZIP! |

Installing Starbound Mods
Common Issues
The mods I installed manually is not appearing in-game
Possible causes are:
- The mod is installed in the wrong folder: A common mistake is installing the mod in the wrong place. Please make sure you have used the correct 'mods' folder and have not extracted the ZIP.
- The mod may be packed wrongly: The mod is not packed with the correct folder structure. This is common for mods coming from third-party sites.
The mods I installed disappeared after an update
This can happen if the mods were installed in the wrong place, for example inside the Steam folder. Steam will wipe non-game files when updating games.
