Save files for the game are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Introversion\LastStarship\saves on Windows, ~/Library/Application\ Support/LastStarship/saves on Mac, and ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1857080/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Introversion/LastStarship/saves on Linux (using Proton). They are stored in a plaintext format and end in a .space extension.

Common modifications[edit | edit source]

Enable mutli-system simulation[edit | edit source]

Multi-system simulation, introduced unofficially in Alpha 7, allows you to have ships in different systems at the same time. It was officially added to Industry mode in Alpha 8, but can be enabled in Free Roam and Survival modes by adding the line MultiSystemSimulation true to the top of the save file (before the HUD section).

Add items to the Trade screen[edit | edit source]

If you are stuck in a system with no Trade screen or the Trade screen is missing an item you need:

  1. Save and close the game.
  2. In the directory listed above, find the .space file corresponding to the saved game and open it in a text editor.
  3. Search for a line containing TradePossible. Set that to true.
    Note: There may be multiple Trade sections in the system archive save file. Make sure to use the base section that is not indented.
  4. In the TheirStock section below, update or add the desired line using the item code from the table below. Spacing is important, so make sure to match it. The number can be adjusted to the preferred amount.
  5. Save the changes, run the game, and load the save.

Add items to a shuttle[edit | edit source]

Some items, like hull breaches, are technically just like any other items, but they cannot be purchased from the Trade screen, even with the trick above. In this case, it's necessary to modify a shuttle's inventory as it delivers cargo.

  1. Purchase something or initiate a mission delivery.
  2. As soon as the shuttle appears, save and close the game.
  3. In the directory listed above, find the .space file corresponding to the saved game and open it in a text editor.
  4. Find the section for your ship. It should be the first section beginning with BEGIN Layer. Find the line BEGIN Deliveries inside that section.
  5. In the the Trade section below, update or add the desired line using the item code from the table below. Spacing is important, so make sure to match it. The number can be adjusted to the preferred amount.

Refill a fuel tank[edit | edit source]

If your ship runs out of fuel, but you have a fuel tank installed:

  1. Save and close the game.
  2. In the directory listed above, find the .space file corresponding to the saved game and open it in a text editor.
  3. Search for a line containing Resource Fuel. Spacing is important.
  4. Ensure that the line belongs to a tank and that the tank belongs to the correct ship. Player-owned ships are listed as FriendlyShip type.
  5. Update or add the corresponding Quantity line to add fuel to the tank.
  6. Save the changes, run the game, and load the save.
