Lots of awesome mods here...but I can't seem to figure out how to install them. I'm reading all these things about "slipstream" and "Grognak" and such, but they seem to be some sort of coding program, or something. I need help, please!
The mods I'm hoping to install (at first, anyway) are:
Diversity Mod by liakad: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3363
None-Man Army by slowriderxcorps: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 94&p=53530
Engi B Rebalanced – The Vega and The Ares by Noobjuice: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21940
Stupid Question...how do I actually install the mods?

Re: Stupid Question...how do I actually install the mods?
Installing mods is really pretty easy. All you need is this "Slipstream" thing you keep hearing about. It's a mod manager, so it takes all the mods you want to install, and (not completely sure on exactly how it works) compiles them into new data.dat and resource.dat files (without it, FTL can normally only hold 1 mod, so basically every mod uses Slipstream now). Slipstream, along with detailed instructions as to how to use it, can be found here: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17102 Happy modding!

On an aside, as another mod, I would seriously recommend FTL Captain's Edition, found here: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15663

Yeah, I was looking at that, and my first reaction was pretty much "Dang, that's not a mod, that's a whole expansion pack!"MedicRules41 wrote:On an aside, as another mod, I would seriously recommend FTL Captain's Edition, found here: http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15663

Totally worth it though! And, as Sten said, don't forget the sM Polish Kit. And by the by, is Slipstream working well? Are the mods you listed all working?

Excellent! Always feels nice to help (or at least try, I'm not gud@mods yet either really) other people.
