Community made Mods
Hi all,

We will link some of the bigger community made mods here for your convenience.

There mods were not made by MinMax, so use them at your own risk.

Any crashes that happen while using the mods should not be posted to to the bug reporting forums as they are issues with the mods and not with the game itself.

We have no way to fix mods not made by MinMax.

You can still find most of the mods on the Forums by using the Wayback Machine Archive:

Keep in mind that some mods can only be downloaded while logged in, and I don't think you can do that via Archive. The mods below can be downloaded without being logged in:

It doesn't seem that Big Beef can be downloaded without being logged in, due to "You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post." error. Looking around the forum though, this link seems to work for unknown reasons https://web.archive.org/web/20160324175737/http://www.spacepiratesandzombies.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3162

That said... trying to unpack the file gives 233 diagnostic errors (though the files seem to unpack to mod folder correctly).

So I've been out of the loop for a couple years now.
What happened to the old forums?

That link works because it has a different timestamp - if a mod you want to download has no usable link, try a different date and see if it works then.

Here is a direct link for Big Beef
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bcil2v70ej0adez/BigBeef.rar?dl=0

Upped today, cause the original was only hosted on the forums. :spazdunno:
It's the latest version Of Big Beef I had in my own collection of versions.

Might revisit this mod some day in the future again.

Don't forget another fun insane mod.

so I just lost my HDD that had my game and downloaded mods. I just was trying to get to the forum to redownload them, and now it goes here, where there is 2 mods, I guess the developer really wanted to finally kill this great game off. I have played this game a ton, almost a thousand hours according to steam, but I guess they decided to kill off a portion of their still active webpage, didnt think that few forums would really take of that much space to keep them around. especially since most of the files were externally stored...the wayback machine is ok but it still hides most of the links to files and cannot actually download them unless the link was just plain text... and not a hyperlink. your first game you made was your best minmax games, and now you have killed it off, you should just remove it from your website if you not going to allow anybody to enjoy it anymore.(and steam, and gog)
Pere250 May 28, 2020 @ 6:27pm 
Decided to play spaz once again. Went looking for some mods (thinking there may be new ones/download some old ones) Seen that most if not all mods were lost when the forums were abandoned. Figured I would go looking in one of my old drives. Found that I had a few in the mods folder still.
Like Blorf stated at the begging of the thread use at own risk. I just grabbed the mods (excluding the included WinterHolliday and halloween that comes with) and threw it into here -

https://mega.nz/folder/95xBXCyY#lB4NMTyIvwURxEQMlyupOQ

I can't remember what ArcXera is.
Pretty sure both the Battlestar mods are the same just ones in the zip still.
Think the Mix of mods was my attempt at combining Arc and Battlestar.
Don't think it matters but these are from my old MacBook.
