I am planning on developing a mod for Starbound. However, doing so may require me to use a separate installation of Starbound, either in vanilla form or with a minimal amount of mods installed. Similar to the instancing performed by some Minecraft launchers such as ATLauncher. Is there any simple way to do this for Starbound, without having to manually uninstall/reinstall or enable/disable all of the mods I'm using?
When I test unstable mods I am making I use Starbound Unstable. Alternatively you could simply copy/paste all of the files for Starbound and use that.
Thanks, copying and pasting it to a new directory works. And as a bonus, it doesn't load up with any of the mods from the steam workshop!
