Installation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Little Rocket Lab (Steam version)
  • Windows PC
  • MelonLoader v0.7.2-ci.2341 Open-Beta

Step 1: Install MelonLoader

  1. Download MelonLoader v0.7.2-ci.2341 Open-Beta from https://melonwiki.xyz/
  2. Run the MelonLoader installer
  3. Point the installer to your Little Rocket Lab game directory
    • Default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Little Rocket Lab
  4. Launch the game once to generate the Mods folder
    • You should see a MelonLoader console window appear when the game starts

Step 2: Install Mods

  1. Download the mod DLL files from the latest release
  2. Locate your game's Mods folder:
    • <GamePath>\Mods\
  3. Place the desired mod files into the Mods folder
    • You can install individual mods or all of them together
    • Important: Place DLL files directly in the Mods folder, not in a subfolder
  4. Launch the game to enjoy!

Step 3: Configuration (Optional)

After running the game once with the mods installed, you can customize settings:

  1. Close the game
  2. Navigate to <GamePath>\UserData\MelonPreferences.cfg
  3. Open the file with a text editor (Notepad, VS Code, etc.)
  4. Find the section for the mod you want to configure:
    • [SaveAnyTime] - Change the save hotkey
    • [SpeedControl] - Change speed control hotkeys
    • [HigherStackSize] - Configure stack size behavior
  5. Edit the values as desired
  6. Save the file and launch the game

Example Configuration

[SaveAnyTime]
# Key to press for saving the game.
SaveKey = "F5"

[SpeedControl]
# Key to increase Speed Control.
IncreaseKey = "KeypadPlus"
# Key to decrease Speed Control.
DecreaseKey = "KeypadMinus"
# Key to reset Speed Control to 1.0.
ResetKey = "KeypadMultiply"

[HigherStackSize]
# WARNING: Lowering stack size or multiplier may cause losing items with existing save files that have larger stacks!
WARNING = "Lowering stack size or multiplier may cause losing items with existing save files that have larger stacks!"
# If true, multiply the original stack size. If false, set to a fixed value.
UseMultiplier = false
# The fixed maximum stack size for stackable items when UseMultiplier is false. Default is 999.
StackSize = 999
# Multiply the original stack size by this value when UseMultiplier is true. Default is 10x.
Multiplier = 10.0

Compatibility

  • Game: Little Rocket Lab (Steam)
  • Tested with: MelonLoader v0.7.2-ci.2341 Open-Beta
  • Platform: Windows

Troubleshooting

Mods don't load

  1. Verify MelonLoader is installed correctly

    • You should see a console window when launching the game
    • The console should show "MelonLoader" and list loaded mods

  2. Check DLL file location

    • Files must be in <GamePath>\Mods\, not in a subfolder
    • Example correct path: C:\...\Little Rocket Lab\Mods\HigherStackSize.dll
    • Example wrong path: C:\...\Little Rocket Lab\Mods\MyMods\HigherStackSize.dll

  3. Check the MelonLoader console for errors

    • Red text indicates errors
    • Look for messages about specific mods failing to load

  4. Ensure you're using the correct MelonLoader version

    • These mods are tested with v0.7.2-ci.2341 Open-Beta
    • Other versions may not work correctly

Mods load but don't work

  1. Check keybindings

    • Default keys might conflict with other software
    • Edit MelonPreferences.cfg to change hotkeys

  2. Verify mod compatibility

    • Some mods might conflict with each other
    • Try loading mods one at a time to isolate issues

  3. Check for game updates

    • Game updates may break mod compatibility
    • Check the releases page for updates

Still having issues?

  • Check existing GitHub Issues
  • Create a new issue with:
    • Your MelonLoader version
    • Your game version
    • Which mods you're using
    • The error message from the MelonLoader console

Updating Mods

To update to a newer version:

  1. Download the latest release
  2. Replace the old DLL files in your Mods folder with the new ones
  3. Launch the game

Your configuration in MelonPreferences.cfg will be preserved.
