      Credits:

      m8r98a4f2 for their fantastic contribution to the Starfield community. I seriously hope you're still out there doing well. A lot of folks are lost without a solution. For all the work I put into fixing this, I hope it can benefit you in the future, should you return. I can guarantee you know how to fix all this better than I have.

      Install (PC Only - Manual install):

      Simply copy these files to your current Starfield install directory:

      Starfield\Data\Interface

      or more specifically:

      steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\Interface

      You should see StarUI files already present in this folder, and it will ask you to overwrite them. Click yes to overwrite.

      Changelog:

      • []NEW: Variant lists are now cached, allowing better useability when re-opening the list for a different part. Note: the list will still need to load the first time, but subsequent openings will be much faster.[/]

      v0. 7:

      • []FIX: Resolved issue when attempting to upgrade Ship parts with any part that has variants (eg. Dark Star weapons). Now the part will properly upgrade rather than being locked in a "Loading Variants" state.[/]

        []FIX: Added current percent to the Loading dialog when opening the variant menu to give the player a better idea of how long it will take to load the list.[/]

        []FIX: Allow for additional time to load variants[/]

        []QoL: Will display "Variant X" in the variant list if a variant does not have a name, rather than just showing a blank entry.[/]

      v0. 6:

      []FIX: Resolved issue with not properly hiding Hanger Menu on initialization when viewing the Ship Builder in Creation Kit[/]
