Modules contain game content. The Horizons module contains all of the base elements that are baked into the game. Here you can find the stock ships, missions, pedia entries, etc. By default, a Custom module is created on a new installation of Horizons. This will allow players to customize their DMX lighting and tweak the game in other ways.

The real power of Horizons can be realized by creating your own module, either as a child to the Horizons module or as a standalone root module. The former allows players to quickly add their own missions, lore, and expansions to the world of Horizons. The latter allows players to create their own world which is independent of the Horizons game content.

Once a module is created, designers can begin to add their content to the various module segments. For more information about this, read the other articles in the modding segment of this wiki.

The Horizons module contains the stock ships, NPCs, missions, and content you first play when launching Starship Horizons. This module is read-only by default. You can copy and rename the Horizons folder to create a sandbox version to explore the pre-existing content.

If you are not prepared to create the models, maps, components, etc. for your own module, create a new module as a child of the Horizons module to inherit everything in the Horizons module.

The Custom Module is the other auto-generated module when Horizons is installed on your computer. This is intended for minor tweaks to the game, such as addressing DMX lighting or adding a new ship model to toy with. You can technically write all of your custom missions here too, but we suggest making a standalong folder for your creations. This will make it easier to share your modules with others!
