Hi I am sending a ticket about this but I compared Steam Starbound files with GOG files bit by bit and I found a lots of unnecessary stuff there . It's huge chunk of data . And making installer bigger . I did this for windows version and seems Mac and Linux version is fine because installer sizes are around 650 MB .

So ;

In the main directory ;

giraffe_storage folder
koala_storage folder

In the win32 directory ;

output folder
stdout.txt
unpack_assets.bat

In the win64 directory ;
stdout.txt

All of those folders and files inside of them are unnecessary and its 645 MB . It's nearly doubling the installer size :) Please fix it GOG !

I added them to the checksum file too

Ask the dev. I think this has something to do with mod support - Steam Workshop will download these files automatically if you use certain mods but mods aside from Steam Workshop don't have these files yet expect them to be there. At least that was my understanding. I don't have Starbound on Steam.

If someone interested with mods or modding already could unpack art assets with unpacker inside of files . Those files are unnecessary in there .

Ask the devs to clean up the code, rather than focus on something worthless like Fishing, when barely any of the planets have lakes, then.

Also those files seems added with 1.0.3 update of GOG . That's explaining why 1.0.3 update is 708 MB but other updates are so small . 1.0.4 is 70 MB and 1.0.5 is 23 MB .
