    Man - with all these slow download times, I think it's mirror time.
    I'll get right on that.

    ALSO! PEOPLE! You may only need the Latest Update if you never modified your assets folder. The Full Package just includes vanilla Assets.
    You can delete your assets folder and re-verify through Steam, it will be MUCH faster.

    GUIDE TO BYPASSING THE ASSET INCLUDED FOLDER

    Step 1: Delete your assets file
    Step 2: Verify starbounds file integrity, vanilla assets will be reacquired
    Step 3: Get the mod file
    Step 4: Return to the server within the week.

    Share to all!

    To verify, right click SB in steam, go to properties, then local files, and verify


    Additional details.

    If you've never messed with assets (music for example) you dont need the full version.

    If music is the only thing you've touched, simply delete assets/music

    and verify that

    You don't need to do that. Just delete what you've modified and re-verify through Steam. You can even see the button in the photos.

    Most of you probably haven't modified your assets since it's in a .pak file. If you HAVE, all you have to do is go to steam>staround>properties>verify game cache whatever and it'll be way quicker.

    Just download the update instead, and pop that sucker into mods.

    Something's up with the restriction system. Expect reboots.

    You do not, unless you have modified your assets folder.

    If you have, you may need to delete that and re-verify your game files via Steam. That's gonna be a looot faster than downloading the full pack.

    Can I just recommend putting a guide to verifying files for those who altered their assets instead of trying to make a download that includes them all?

    I'm not 100% on what I have edited or not, so I'll just start from scratch on the assets folder. Farewell, StarFace, :(

    Intentional - Creative Mod's item spawning capability is going to be supplemented by another Mod, which'll be in the next update.
