✅ Pros

⚠️ Cons

  • Compatibility with other mods that alter travel or planets is unverified

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use planet hoppers for quick scouting runs to check out new planets before committing to a full move.
  • Since they can't carry cargo, keep your inventory light and leave heavy items at your main base.
  • If you're playing with friends, remember that each player needs their own hopper—they're not shared.
