⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community adoption (3,946 endorsements, 115k downloads) — clearly a must-have for ship builders.
- Removes the grind of hopping between shipyards to find specific parts — one stop shopping.
- Space station parts on regular ships opens up wild new build possibilities.
👎 Cons
- Discontinued since September 2023 — may break with newer Starfield patches.
- Doesn't affect the Outpost shipbuilder, so you'll still need to travel for those builds.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
