Summary
Avorion is a space-exploration and crafting game in which players can build their ships out of nearly any material. In addition to creating these custom ships, they can be shared among other users as mods on the Steam Workshop. This allows players to enhance their servers with extravagant ships, new systems, or helpful quality-of-life improvements. Generally speaking, mods should be installed on New Galaxies to prevent saves from potentially corrupting.
