Expanded Starting Supplies

Mod for Stationeers "Expanded Starting Supplies" made by Eriduan Current Mod Version: 1.17 Last Date of Edit: 14.07.2026 Last tested Game Version while mod fully worked: 0.2.6403.27689

[h1]TLDR:[/h1] Main purpose of Expanded Starting Supplies is to provide a few extra necessities, just enough so you don’t need to grind at the very beginning, while the challenge of survival remains intact.

Thanks to your Rich Uncle or Survivalist Grandma, you now start with extra supplies in both Expanded and Brutal+ additional starting conditions.

---EDIT 14.07.2026---

Ingots Crate

In version 1.17, the ingotsExpanded crate now provides full stacks again, restoring the intended Expanded start and aligning the mod with its purpose of offering more than vanilla while keeping the challenge by not handing out everything for free.

(In previous 1.10 version, the ingotsExpanded crate was intentionally nerfed, but it ultimately conflicted with the mod’s spirit.)

Mining Supplies+ now includes Iron and Copper Ores. More basic resources from the start, less mining, although you’ll still need to smelt them.

Imagine the look on your uncle’s face when he found out you spent his hard-earned money just to fill your pockets with rocks, launching with that dead weight into orbit only to mine the very same rocks on another planet! ---End of EDIT 14.07.2026---

---EDIT 13.07.2026--- This update reorganizes water bags and waste bags to match vanilla starting conditions and finally adds a new Community version of this mod. Where each Stationeer has separate, fully loaded Landers with crates.

Feedback is needed to confirm that the Community Start works correctly. For more info see ChangeLog Version 1.12 -> click on ( view ) next to the Change Notes or click HERE - ChangeLog

Detailed Description

This mod gives you more starting Crates and Oxygen Tanks, along with a couple more of items as a head start.

Added Start Conditions:

Standard ⇒ Expanded Brutal ⇒ Brutal+ Standard Community ⇒ Expanded, Independent Stationeer Brutal Community ⇒ Brutal+, Castaway Stationeer

It will make the start easier, but if you're an old-school Stationeer, or you just prefer the original vannila starting conditions, that is why I made these new, separate buttons. So my mod doesn't change the vanilla starting condition options.

Feel free to edit and change, or use it as a template for your own mod. Just please make a copy of your edits in case I upload a new version. And basic courtesy, just mention me if you do use my mod.

Expanded provides a bit of necessities, but not too much. Just enough so you don't need to focus on grinding at the beginning. As you know, grinding is one of the early game loops with the basic Standard set.

Now you have a little more time before the grind becomes mandatory (it's postponed a bit). Food, water, and oxygen are not plentiful, but more than doubled, so you have enough time to explore the game if you are rookie.

And of course, different planets have different sets, so I kept that in mind when creating this mod.

I also added those Ingot crates to some starts, cuz it makes things easier. There is a crate containing explosives with Rover MkI and the AIMeE robot, which is fully operational if you know how to programm the IC10 chip.. I also added the Rocket crate to some start conditions. It is the same crate as the Asteroid start previously had.

And one more thing, the main Lander now contains double the rations of Cereal Bars and Water Bottles. Water Bags and Water Boxes now use all 6 slots for Water Bottles. Inside the Cereal Box there are Chocolates and Chocolate Cereal Bars.

No Dependencies

No dependencies, so this mod doesn’t require anything else to work and is fully compatible with the vanilla game. This mod does not overload or overwrite vanilla items or mechanics. If something is labeled differently, it means it is its own separate thing. Except for the extinguisher, that thing bothered me, cuz it uses solely CO2 and nothing else, but it was not properly labeled in vanilla, so I overwrote the original item and renamed it better.
