you don’t need to extract .PAK files to run the mods

i was talking about just pak. files in general, but thanks for the info

You can’t just extract .pak files like .zip or .7z lol

You don’t extract it. Just make a ‘mods’ folder in the game directory and put the file/folder in it.

Starbound uses its own type of .pak file, so if you really want to unpack the mod, you have to use packing programs that come bundled with the Starbound installation. Those are asset_packer.exe and asset_unpacker.exe in the win32 folder. If you know how to work with the command line, you should be good with that info. If not, there are a few tutorials out there, and remember that you explicitely want Starbound’s pak format.
I might write my own in the forums here…

this is the only thing i recieve

im talking about unpacking or… uh

y-you get the point

try running it directly as admin, or maybe its somewhere the unpacker can’t reach. It’s usually best to have the thing you are unpacking in the starbound root, or the mods folder
