Installation

Requirements

• Windows x64
• Kitten Space Agency installed
• The .NET 10 Runtime for Windows x64

StarMap is framework-dependent, so the .NET runtime must be installed separately.

Install StarMap

1. Download the latest ZIP or Windows installer from StarMap Releases.
2. For the ZIP, extract it to a folder and run StarMap.exe from that folder. For the installer, follow its prompts and select the KSA folder containing KSA.dll when asked.
3. If you installed from the ZIP, the first launch creates StarMapConfig.json and exits. Open that file, set GameLocation as described below, and save it. The installer normally creates this file for you.
4. Run StarMap.exe again. With a valid configuration, it starts KSA through StarMap.

Keep StarMapConfig.json beside StarMap.exe and start StarMap from its installation folder.

Configure the KSA path

GameLocation may be either the KSA installation folder or the full path to KSA.dll. If you provide a folder, StarMap looks for KSA.dll inside it.

{
  "GameLocation": "C:\\Games\\Kitten Space Agency",
  "RepositoryLocation": "",
  "GameArguments": []
}

• GameLocation is required.
• RepositoryLocation is reserved and currently unused; leave it empty.
• GameArguments is optional and passes additional command-line arguments to KSA.

If StarMap reports that it cannot find KSA.dll, check the spelling and confirm that GameLocation points to the KSA folder or the DLL itself.
