Is there another mod people are using for this version? Or is it compatible with the current build? (Cause I haven't tried after migrating to a new CPU)
While we don't have those mods anymore, there are other things that kinda fit the purpose. WEdit, a world editing mod, allows for noclip so you can do OOC stuffs and not have to walk. Itemspawner (Or something similar, I forget. It's the most popular cheat/spawning mod, however, so it shouldn't be hard to find) lets you get all the tiles/items/objects you need. As for quickstart, the two previous mods will allow you to speed through singleplayer fast-ish to get to the point where your ship is repaired. You can also use the command for setting mission flags, but i'm unsure of the command or the flags, so you'd have to look 'em up (probably on the wiki). Good luck!
You can quickly upgrade your ship by spawning a thing 2 through 8 item (looks like a gear with a number), each one being a different size of upgraded ship; just don't use the item while aboard your ship, go down to a planet. If you use wEdit then you can use /enableTech dash to get the activator tech without doing the quest. You might need to spawn a tech card and tech station to equip the tech. Be sure to check the options/controls menu to bind the wEdit no clip key, at least it doesn't automatically do it for me.
Those mods still aren't updated, but these mods might help you out some. https://www.antaresroleplay.com/threads/four-basic-mods-to-enhance-roleplay.12409/#post-122627
