Starshift

Starshift is a powerful Mod Loader for game ISAT (In Stars And Time) with minimal footprint and as much performance as possible!

Caution

Currently this project is in VERY early stage, things WILL break. Pull requests and bug reports are welcome. Although modding with raw game variables would be possible already!

Installing

a) Automatic (Linux Only)

This project includes an installation script that looks for the game's directory and installs all needed files! (Including Steam Integration Fix)

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jakeayy/Starshift/main/scripts/install.sh)

Warning

Even though this script is trusted, ALWAYS check it's source before executing! - as a safety measure.

b) Manual

1. Go to Releases page
2. Download latest release
3. Unpack all files to game directory. Ensure path of www directory matches the one you just unpacked!

c) Building

Prerequisites:

• git (most likely already included if you're on Linux)
• npm (included with NodeJS) or preferably bun runtime (for this guide we'll use bun)

Tutorial:

1. Clone the repo with:

   git clone https://github.com/jakeayy/Starshift.git

2. Navigate to the newly downloaded directory
3. Download dependencies with:

   bun install

4. Build it!

   bun run build

5. The final files should be in dist directory! Just follow the same steps as from Manual Guide or you can use bun inject to automatically install it to your game

Caution

Injecting currently works only on Linux and OVERRIDES ALL YOUR MOD LOADER DATA. Be sure to backup any mods you care about.

TODO

• - Ability to disable specific mods from menu
• - Mods and loader in-fly building and caching
• - Built-in helpers and API
