So while trying to find the item names for a mod I got off the Steam, I got to experience the joy of using the CLI Starbound Asset Unpacker which is bundled with the game install, and even though I am already done and probably won't need to unpack anything else, I still feel the need to make this tool. So here you go.
Configuration is saved to the registry automatically,
as well as auto-detection of the Starbound workshop folder
and CLI Asset Unpacker paths.
Also you can check for updates through the tool itself.
This tool is for the Steam version of Starbound.
In the future, I plan on expanding it to be usable with
non-steam version.
Just run the tool, and if it can find your Steam path along with the Starbound folder and workshop folder, it will automatically list all detected .pak files.
From there, select the folder you want to spit out the unpacked assets into, and then you can pick and choose which .pak file to unpack, or you can unpack every .pak file the tool has found.
The tool also saves the paths, so no need to keep putting them in every time you restart the tool.
This project uses two of my libraries - Registrar, and SharpUtils, both of which are not currently on Nuget.org. You will have to set up both in order to play with the source.
