Better Chat UI – Modern & pretty ingame Chat
A client-side BepInEx mod that overhauls the default tiny, short-lived chat messages in the console with a beautiful, readable UI.
Features
- 5-message scrolling display (newest on top by default)
- Player names in bright orange, messages fade out smoothly after 10 seconds (configurable)
- Multiple styles to choose from: Top-Left, Top-Right, Clear Background, etc.
- Notification sound on new messages
- Configurable via BepInEx config file / Workshop Menu ingame
- Fully clientside — only you need the mod
Why this mod?
The default chat is hard to read: tiny blue text in the bottom-left corner that disappears quickly, and speech bubbles only visible when you're right next to someone. This mod fixes that — chat is now always visible, easy to read, and looks great!
Installation
- Install BepInEx + StationeersLaunchPad (required for Stationeers mods)
- Subscribe to the Mod in the Workshop
- Launch the game — the chat UI appears automatically when messages are sent
Configuration
Default ChatStyle = TopLeftNewestTop
Available styles: - TopLeftNewestTop - TopLeftNewestBottom - TopRightNewestTop - TopRightNewestBottom - TopLeftNewestTopClearBackground - BottomLeftNewestTop - BottomLeftNewestBottom - BottomRightNewestTop - BottomRightNewestBottom
Known Limitations
