This is a draft for the revised Community Recommended Fixes and Addons Guide

Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Community Recommendations for Docking Station guide! As some of you may be aware, this is a revised version of the Creatures 3 & Docking Station Community Recommended Fixes and Addons guide I wrote back in 2019. Whilst that guide was fully intended to be a "living" document that would be updated as time went on, after a couple of years and some great feedback I figured it was time to take this back to the drawing board and give it a good ol' polish. Whilst this guide is still assuming you are playing Creatures Exodus, it is important to note that this time around we will soley be focusing on the Docking Station portion.

So what exactly is this guide about then? This is intended to be a resource for everyone, from brand new and returning players, to veterans of the series wanting the best that the community can offer. To this end, the guide will be broken into several sections for ease of use:

  • Installation
    • GOG Install
    • Humble Store Install
    • Docking Station Standalone Install
      • This will include setting up the game for offline play, and setting up Albian Warp.
  • Undocked Worlds
    • This section will further be broken down into catagories, both for types of modifications and agents, but also into what is considered "bare essential" and what is just recommended.
  • Docked Worlds
    • Similar to the previous section, but building off the Docked Worlds section as a foundation.

Ready to step into the warp and see where it takes us? Let's go!

Installation

Before anything else, we obviously need to install the game! Unfortunately, that can be a bit... unintuitive, or downright broken in the case of the GOG install. Never fear though, we'll help you get this game up and running quicker than an Ettin with that very specific gadget you really needed good GRIEF COME BACK WITH THAT-

GOG Install

This section will walk you through installing the particuarlly problematic GOG install. Luckily thanks to the work of Lisdude, this process is relatively simple these days.

Downloads

Before we start, we need to download a few files. I suggest downloading them all to a single folder to get to them all nice and quick.

  • You will need to download Creatures Exodus as a standalone installed, not through GOG Galaxy. To do this, simply log into GOG, and hover over your username at the top of the page.
01 - Select Games.png
  • Then search for Creatures Exodus.
02 - Search.png
  • Select "View Downloads", then click on "Creatures Exodus" at the bottom of the page.
03 - Download.png
  • Once that has downloaded, go download the Creatures Remastered Patch, over at AmberCreatures.
  • Finally, head over to Lisdude's GitHub page, and download the files there (just click the green "Code" button and "Download ZIP". Once you have those, extract them to a folder of their own within the folder you've downloaded everything else to, like this:

And that's that, time to install!
