Installing a mod

Same steps for every mod on this page.

Download the .pak

Each mod ships as a single .pak file. Grab the release that matches your game version — the badge on the list tells you what it was tested on.

Drop it in the Paks folder

Copy the file into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Astro\Saved\Paks. Create the Paks folder if it doesn't exist yet.

Launch and check

Start the game. Mods load automatically; if the main menu shows a warning, the mod was built for an older patch — check the list for an update.

Common questions

Do mods work in multiplayer?

Only if every player in the session installs the same mods and versions. If versions differ, the host's game may refuse the connection or desync on physics-heavy mods like Rover Handling Fix.

Will this break my save?

Quality-of-life and interface mods don't touch save data. Balance mods (like Canister Capacity) only change new items you craft. Either way, keep a backup of your save folder before installing anything.

A game patch just dropped. What now?

Wait for the badges on the mod list to update. We re-test every mod against the new patch before bumping its version label — usually within a few days of release.

How do I uninstall?

Delete the .pak from the Paks folder. That's the whole process — nothing here writes to the registry or installs background services.
