    Hello Everybody,

    first you have to extract the zip file. Then copy the .modpak file.

    Hello Everybody,

    I am sorry, maybe my explanation was a little bit short. Where you extract the zip file doesn't matter, important is that you just place/copy the .modpak file into your mod folder.
    Therefore, you can delete the zip file in your screenshot, but you don't have to. Have fun, a nice Day/Night and

    P.S.: Short answer: Yes :)

    Oh! So I basically don't need to make separate folders for modpaks! ^.=.^

    No you don't. Just put the modpak file in your mods folder. That is it.

    When you download G-Hooks+, its a .modpack filetype. You just drop that straight into starbound\mods folder. If that does't work for you for some reason, you need to contact the mod author. He will likely ask for your starbound.log file so he can see whats wrong.

    The .modpak file extension was made obselete in 1.0.
    The game merely reads an unrecognized file in the directory, then skips it.
    Packed mods now go by .pak, unified with the base game assets' packed form.

    Supposing the mod is fully compatible with the current version, just renaming the extension from .modpak to .pak works.
    (I tested this a minute ago, it doesn't corrupt the mod files in any way.)

    Check dates. This thread is extremely old, and if you bothered to read, is outdated information.
