Rescue skittish low-poly cats hiding in the facility and they'll follow you home. Buy a cat tree for $50 and watch them nap in it. They meow, purr, pay a bounty when rescued and can't be sold. Monster
About this mod Author’s original text
CozyCats
Cats are hiding in the facility. Find them, scoop them up, and bring them home to the ship.
- Every cat is unique: random fur and eye colours, a random size and a name you'll see when you scan them.
- Cozy, not chaotic: cats sit, loaf, idle, blink and twitch their ears. Pick one up and it rolls over in your arms
with its paws in the air and purrs quietly.
- Meow on demand: press LMB while holding a cat. Set down, they'll occasionally meow on their own.
- Rescue bounty: the first time a cat makes it into the ship, the crew is paid $100 on the spot.
- Not for sale: cats have no scrap value and the Company counter refuses them. Keep them on the ship as long as
you're employed. They're lost when you're fired.
- Never your downfall: monsters can't hear cats, can't pick them up, and cats never make noise that draws
attention. They survive a crew wipe like any other non-scrap item.
- One or two cats per moon at most, and some moons have none.
Everyone in the lobby needs the mod.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
