I tried putting mods in the game but I don't have a /mod folder that everyone has, if anyone knows where or how to get it I would be very happy
First make sure you have the latest version of the game. If the /mod folder isn't present in the Starbound directory then you should be able to just create it.
Mmm.. If you have an up-to-date game (current version is Offended Koala) and are missing a \mods\ folder, which I can't imagine why you would be, it belongs here.
oh well that's what I get for my favorite letter being Rrrrrr... oh wait that's not funny. well gtg find another updated copy see you guys around!~
I can help with that. I happen to know the copies at these links will *always* be the updated version. Link 1 Link 2
I can vouch for the quality of these links. Would recommend them to anyone. But, hey, if you need a free copy of the game, you can check this out.
