System Requirements

Cosmoteer is currently in alpha and these system requirements could change at any time due to performance improvements or additional load from new features. These are the current requirements for Cosmoteer as of version 0.12.2 (Jun. 27, 2017):

Currently these system requirements, especially the "minimum" ones are way to high. It is very possible the game can run with much lower minimum requirements than this states, but more info is needed. Because of this, you may want to test the game to see how it runs on your computer instead of looking at these stats and seeing that they are too high for your computer.

Disk space requirement

Save games, ship file etc.

Aside from the installation requirement the game requires space for save games, ship file, screenshots, logs, settings and eventually mods. These, however up to the player's discretion. For various use cases it is, however, necessary to know where they are. This is especially important when reporting issue where posting a log file is most useful.

Cache

Aside from the installation requirement, save games etc. the game also keeps temporary caches. The amount is roughly the same as the sum of all the sprites in vanilla plus any mods used recently plus some.

Sometimes the game doesn't update all changes while modding especially those not directly found. In such cases flushing the cache manually could help. The cache's location can be found in: Note: the actually folder names may differ based on the computer's language setting and user account name.
