Looking to play with mods?You've come to the right place! The mod index (above) lists mods that have been added to it by request of the mod author. It features mods that are considered release-ready by their maker and will work on the current version of the game.
To get ready to install and play with mods, please read this post: Adding mods to your game: First StepsShort instructions: To install a mod, download it and unzip it into the "mods" directory. On Windows, it's in the installation directory. On Mac, it's right inside the application package - right-click on the application and select "Show Package Contents" to see it. On Linux, it's in the starsector directory. You can then select which mod(s) you want to run with in the launcher.
Each mod comes in a zip or rar archive file. Should the game not display them in the launcher, please check if:
1. you put the archived file directly into the mods folder. (Solution: Extract the folder contents)
2. you extracted the contained mod folder into a new folder, thus making the game unable to see it. (Solution:
make sure the mod path is correct)
Refer to the
instructions post for further help.
Would you like to have your mod added to the index?Great! A certain amount of content is required to be listed - but if you feel the mod is ready, it probably is!
The actual process is very simple:
- Test your mod to the point where you have a reasonable expectation of it working on the latest version of the game
- Create a mod post in the modding subforum
- Ensure your mod post has a download available that is hosted somewhere else (For example: GitHub, Onedrive, Google Drive) as forum post attachments get purged in regular intervals
- Ensure your mod post title includes the latest version number of the game that the mod will work with
- Wait a bit for your mod to get some engagement, downloads and posts in the thread.
- PM a moderator with a short message containing:
- A link to your mod thread in the modding subforum
- The target mod index category of your mod
- The moderator will then move your mod from the "modding" to the "mods" subforum and add it to the index under the desired category.
Please make sure to keep the version tag in your mod title accurate. We keep this index up-to-date using the version tags in your thread's title.
If your mod works in the current version, please update your title accordingly.
