DNA manipulation is a complex but necessary part of The Planet Crafter and this mod makes it a whole lot easier. All you need to do is collect all the necessary ingredients and place them in a marked container near the DNA Incubator or Manipulator.

The mod itself will do the rest of the job as it will automatically grab all these items from the containers, sequence them, and then deposit them into the containers for you to use.

Another simple but effective mod by akarnok allows you to craft using items from nearby containers as well as your backpack. This can be very effective when crafting as well as when building, as you don't have to constantly worry about having the correct items in your inventory.

This is also a great mod for multiplayer as you can have this mod installed without anyone else on the server having to, and it will still work perfectly fine.

6 Better Jetpack

The Better Jetpack mod by aedenthorn adds a custom speed multiplier to the jetpack that lets you zoom across the map with speed. You can edit this multiplier to go as fast and as high as you want, which can be especially useful when you are looking for resources in the open world of The Planet Crafter.

Although this mod was originally designed to decrease the fall-off speed when descending from heights, this feature doesn't exactly work as it used to anymore.

5 Auto Consume

Another brilliant mod by akarnokd lets you consume food, water, and oxygen automatically, which makes the game a lot easier. Do note that you will need items such as oxygen and water bottles along with food in your inventory for this mod to work properly.

As soon as your health, water, or oxygen bars get low enough, this mod will automatically consume enough of them to fill them up completely. All you need to worry about is restocking these items occasionally, and you won't have to worry about this stuff again.

Mining and gathering resources is a big part of The Planet Crafter, but it does get a little tedious after a while. This mod, also by akarnokd automates this part of the game and lets you mine all the nearby nodes and other items that you might need.

With the click of a button, you can gather all the surrounding items within a customizable range. What makes it even better is you can create a list of items that you want to or don't want to grab, which can make sure you only get the items you need.

3 Space Cows

You may not have thought that you needed space cows in The Planet Crafter, but they can be a fun and helpful addition to the game. Not only do they provide a constant source of food, water, and methane, but they are also fun to look at in their space helmets.

These space cows will automatically spawn near a grass spreader which can be easily made, and having a few of them around your base can be a great idea.

2 Item Stacking

Storage is always a big issue in most survival games and so is the case with The Planet Crafter. What makes it even worse is that items in your inventory don't stack, which makes it fills up way easier. This mod solves all these problems, so you won't have to worry about your inventory space ever again.

This is also one of the most popular mods in the game and lets you stack multiple of the same items in your inventory; containers, machines, and backpacks. This makes it much easier to explore and build.

1 Command Console

The Command Console mod is one of the few mods you're going to need to make your life easier in The Planet Crafter. This mod lets you input several commands to spawn items, teleport, build, and much more. A detailed list of all these commands can be found on the description page of this mod, and you can experiment with them all.

This console does the work of several mods by itself, which is another reason we have seen a decline in the number of mods being made for this game.
