Astroneer Modloader

A modloader for Astroneer, rewritten in Rust.

Installation

Windows

Download the modloader (astro_modloader.exe) from the releases page, below the changelog.

Linux

Pre-built binaries are not yet dsitributed for Linux. To build the modloader yourself on Linux:

  • Use your distribution's package manager to install rustup and git,
  • Use rustup to install the Rust programming language,
  • If rustup didn't install it for you, install build-essential or your distro's equivalent,
  • Use cargo to install cargo-about,
  • Use git to clone the modloader's repository,
  • Then run the following commands in the root of the repository:
export USE_PRECOMPILED_CPP_LOADER=1
export USE_PREBUILT_ASSETS=1
cargo build --release

The last command may take a while to run. Once it's done, the executable (astro_modloader) will be in target/release.
