pak elsewhere, wherever you intend to work with it at. It will, usually pretty quickly, find a folder with that number as its name. Hit enter, and it will search for the mod for you. See in the top right, above all those numbers? That is where you put the Workshop ID. Next, go to your Steam Library on the same drive Starbound is installed to.

You can also get this number by right-clicking on the workshop page and selecting Copy Page URL, but you’ll have to paste it somewhere to just get the number. Copy that entire number, that’s the Workshop ID. Look in the pink rectangle there and you’ll see a number. The easiest way to find them is to middle-click on the mod in question in the workshop, to pop it out in a new window. If you’re working with a vanilla race or ship, you’ll find their content in /assets/packed.pak. Your own organization approach may vary, but I recommend keeping “things I’m making” separate from “things I’m extracting”. My Mods/ is where I put works-in-progress. workfolder/ is where I put extracted paks that I’m working with. Once that’s done, I recommend organization. Make sure to read the Guide on the site for installation and basic functionality instructions it’s not hard, but you’ll need to point it at a few specific files.

While Starbound does technically come with a tool for that, a lot of people – myself among them – prefer something with a graphical interface. paks, and to create them if you want to release the mod.
