OpenStarbound is an enhanced fork of the Starbound game source code that fixes bugs, adds features, and improves performance. It requires owning Starbound for game assets and runs as a separate client/server executable.

Use cases

  • play starbound with bug fixes and performance improvements
  • host a modded starbound server
  • run starbound with steam workshop mods
  • transfer my starbound saves to an improved client
  • get nightly builds of starbound with new features

When to choose

  • you own Starbound and want an improved, actively patched version
  • you want better performance and bug fixes over vanilla Starbound
  • you want to run a dedicated Starbound server on Linux or macOS

When to avoid

  • you don't own Starbound, since game assets are required
  • you want a fully open-source engine reimplementation like OpenMW
  • you want a polished, officially supported game experience
