I assume there's no problem discussing mods here.
Can anyone recommend specific Astroneer mods?
AstroMinimap looks useful.

nobody reads those or cares about them.

sorry op no one has been actually useful so far, its not like your discussing piracy or something more severe thats against the FORUM rules which is all that matters here.

OP: Thanks for the heads up about mods for this game, the minimap mod looks useful. I'm going to try out the alternate start mod, that one looks fun. I love a good mod.

There was a save game that did something similar but wasn't proceduraly generated, it was the same planet every play through. That was a mod that exploited a beta feature of the game and it was sanctioned by SE and is featured on their discord if you want to try it. Modding isn't a crime; modifying the game to run in a malicious way is the only thing the devs would be worried about. and that's not the case here

Mods at the moment, are very limited... everything on the Nexus, is about it... I'm currently working on a mod to improve automation, basically just a thing you can put on top of miners or beside producers/canisters that'll draw or store items. There are some inherent limitations to the base game that makes something like this... annoying to implement... plus their code really isn't very... conducive to modification... every time I think something might work, the whole game goes wonky... Using the basically free version on Game Pass is probably not helping that, but I can't really bring myself to pay for a game I really only marginally like.

I really wouldn't hold your breath for anything exciting mod wise...
