The GOLD STANDARD of Starsector mods | Iron Shell Mod Review
Subscribe to the channel here: ua-cam.com/users/Ironcladlion
Who are Iron Shell? In this video, we cover the Starsector mod that sets the gold standard in Starsector modding. Every piece of the mod is high quality, and an absolute treat to play. An expansion to Hegemony XIVth Battlegroup, as well as adding a new faction, Iron Shell has it all. With over 230Gb of footage, 1000+ files, and over 46 minutes long, this is my new largest project!
Huge thanks to both Timid & Selkie for letting me interview them, and for creating this amazing mod! This mod review has been in development for quite some time, and even longer in planning. Consider supporting Timid & Selkie in their modding adventures!

      Good question. So the poster will take you to Patreon. From Patreon, you need to scroll aaaaaall the way down to the bottom of the most recent post (.75c/.97). The download link will be the blue .rar link. You'll get a rar with the UAF mod. THAT, needs to go into your Starsector mods folder, located in the same folder where the game is installed. Hope that helps!
