About this mod Author’s original text
AstroChat
AstroChat is a classic Astroneer mod that adds in-game chat to Astroneer so that you can talk with other people in your game session.
Usage
Simply press enter to activate the chat window, type your message, press enter again to send it.
Press up arrow key to recall previous messages. Ctrl+Click on a message to copy it.
You can also press F7 to switch to compact mode (small chat window) or F8 to hide the window. While hidden, a small notification will appear in the bottom left of the screen if there are new messages to read. Click the notification or press F8 to open the chat window and read them.
If you start a message with a '/' character, it will be interpreted as a console command rather than a chat message. You can, in theory, run any valid console command this way. Knowing what commands are available is outside the scope of this mod. A simple one to try is "/stat fps" which toggles the display of an FPS counter on the right side of the screen.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
