Starminer Multiplayer, Mods & Blueprints: Confirmed Features vs Planned Support
Starminer multiplayer, mods, and blueprints guide separating confirmed single-player and blueprint save/recall from planned multiplayer, modding, and community sharing.
Feature Status
Treat Starminer as single-player at launch unless official store labels change. Personal blueprint save and recall is confirmed. Multiplayer, modding, and community blueprint sharing are planned or development priorities, not guaranteed live features. Use the Starminer guide hub for connected launch coverage without overclaiming features.
Confirmed vs Planned Features
| Feature | Status | Player note |
|---|---|---|
| Single-player | Confirmed on Steam | Treat solo play as the reliable launch assumption. |
| Steam Achievements | Confirmed on Steam | Achievement pages can come later once names and unlock conditions are visible. |
| Steam Cloud | Confirmed on Steam | Useful for save handling, but players should still avoid risky save deletion during Early Access. |
| Blueprint save and recall | Confirmed by official FAQ | Use personal blueprints for tested designs. |
| Community blueprint sharing | Planned | Do not promise launch availability. |
| Multiplayer | Planned | Do not write co-op or multiplayer guides as if they are live. |
| Modding | Planned | Mention as a development priority, not as a confirmed launch feature. |
| Steam Workshop | Possible future priority | Only cover when an official store feature or developer update confirms it. |
How to Use Blueprints Safely
Blueprints are most useful after a design survives real use. Save a compact starter station once mining, refining, storage, and power are stable. Save mining ships after they can feed production without creating route problems. Save defensive ships after they have enough power and purpose to justify their cost.
If a blueprint keeps reproducing a weak design, return to the ship building guide and check mass, thrust, power, tonnage, and role. If the design works but the network cannot feed it, use the logistics guide.
What to Watch During Early Access
For planned features, watch the Steam store, official site, and any developer posts for exact wording. Multiplayer should not be described as live until player counts or multiplayer labels appear officially. Modding should not be described as live until tools, Workshop support, or documentation appears officially. Community blueprint sharing should not be treated as active until sharing behavior is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Starminer have multiplayer at launch?
Current Steam data confirms single-player. The official FAQ describes multiplayer as a development priority, so it should be treated as planned rather than confirmed at launch.
Q: Does Starminer support mods?
Modding is described as a development priority, but current store data does not confirm live mod support. Do not assume Workshop or mod tools until official confirmation appears.
Q: Are Starminer blueprints confirmed?
Yes. The official FAQ says players can save and recall personal blueprints. Community blueprint sharing is planned, not guaranteed for launch.
Q: Does Starminer support Steam Workshop?
Steam Workshop is not confirmed by the current Steam feature labels. Treat it as unknown unless the developer or store page confirms it later.
Q: What should solo players expect?
Solo play is the reliable current assumption. Focus on Campaign, Sandbox, Survival, blueprint saving, and personal design iteration.
