    hi im devcutter,

    ive been wondering is there is a console sort of minecraft style that logs everything i saw the starbound text file but is there an actual console and where can you see your mod actualy get loaded.because i have the impression my mod isnt getting loaded into the game.

    Closest thing is the server, when you start it up it loads everything and you can see it loading. At the beginning you can see it loading things from your mod too.
    Look for "Info: Loading Star::Assets from: '../mods\YourMod\."

    your .modinfo must be in your mod's directory like /mods/new/new.modinfo

    I don't honestly know if it NEEDS the dependencies tag, but since it was in bartwe's example, I assumed it was needed
    Code:
    {
      "name" : "unsorted",
      "version" : "Beta v. Offended Koala",
      "path" : ".",
      "dependencies" : []
    }

    You can read the starbound.txt in the main starbound folder that logs everything.

    thats definetly it i have no modding directory found at the top so it dosnt fin my mod folder should my

    bootstrap.config look like this

    Code:
    {
      "assetSources" : [
      "../assets"
      ],
      "modSource" : "../mods",
      "storageDirectory" : ".."
    }
    slight difference. And that means the folder your any mods go in is called mods

    In your bootstrap.config make sure it is exactly like the one I posted as that is the one that came with the game.
    m is not capital and there's no trailing slash.

    Other than that, I can't think of what's wrong, there's nothing telltale in the log.
    If it was picking up the mod but there were errors it wouldn't even start the whole way.
