    Hello there! Unfortunatly im unable to unpack my asset folder. The last time i did it was longer ago. Ive tried everything what could function. Powershell and .bat files didnt work. There is a packed.pak file in my asset folder but i cant open it. And since there isnt a downloadable asset folder im stuck. What should i do/try?

    Use Google. Look up how to unpack the assets. There are several methods and a few tools to help.

    I appreciate your help. But i think that wouldnt help. Its mostly everything the same. Powershell starts the Unpacker in the win32 folder. Mod helper and the .bat files are mostly the same. And thats the point. The code doesnt work for me. Is there any way else before trying to reinstalling the game?

    Code:
    start /wait /min .\asset_unpacker.exe ..\assets\packed.pak ..\assets\_unpacked
    pause
    
    This will work. Put it in your win32 folder and run it.

    Thank you. But im having one issue. Like the half of the assets are missing. Or is this(C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\UnpackedAssets) the wrong directory?

    Where are you getting "UnpackedAssets" from? Did you let the batch finish running? It can take several minutes.

    I know. I thought the Unpacked assets folder is from the script. Anyway, I copied the script, saved as batchfiles, runned it and it took like 0.5 secs and closed itself.

    Where did you save it? Its supposed to be in the Win32 folder.
