First of all, let's choose the right landing site.
The StarboundModManager is a tool designed to be used by server owners.
It may be annoying to get into how the mod system works, when you just want to set up a server and play the game.
Managing mods by copying renaming and keeping them up to date with your workshop mods can be a tedious task.
The mod manager takes on those annoying jobs for you. All you need to keep everything tidy is just a few clicks away.
At this point of reading, you would already have set up your server with this tool. 😏
Generally speaking the application is very simple. With it you can..
- take mods from your workshop and move them to your servers mods directory
- delete mods from your servers mods directory
- update all mods in your servers mods directory that are also in your workshop to the version of the mods in your workshop
Starbound mods are stored as ".pak" files.
In the workshop they are packed inside folders with large numbers as names, while the actual files are always "contents.pak".
The long numbers are identifiers that correspond to the mods themselves.
The application shows you the actual title of the mod instead of the number.
This makes mod management easy, since you know exactly what you are moving!
