    I dont know how "legal" it is... but if you own starbound cant you just download a cracked copy of the older version to get the tools youself?

    I came here looking for answers, as well. I also came back to share them :)
    You can get older versions of Starbound if you already own the game legally on Steam via its depot.
    It's a tad convoluted, but I was able to download Pleased Giraffe/Colony update, inside of the Steam client, to get an old asset_unpacker and unpack/fix an old personal mod of mine in like 10 minutes.
    I don't know if I'll get yelled at or not for linking the step-by-step guide, that is on github, but if you google "download older versions of starbound" you should be able to find it.
    After you do that just google how to unpack assets and edit the bat file for whatever.modpak etc., unpack it, edit whatever, repack it same as always.
    Good luck!

    @DarkwingMouse Does it overwrite the current Starbound build, or is it in its own folder?

    It would overwrite, but you can move your Starbound folder out of steamapps and download, then move THAT Starbound out of steamapps and put your original installation back. Starbound for Steam works without Steam but you won't have access to your workshop mods if you don't put it back in steamapps after.
