UI Mods — SanctuaryDB

Quickest install

Get everything

The Mod Manager and all 7 mods in one zip. Extract it, launch the game, and every mod is on — switch off any you don’t want from Mods in the game menu, or F8 mid-match.

Download everything

Update from the game

Already installed? A red number on Mods in the main menu means updates are waiting: open it and hit Update All. Settings are kept.

On Mod Manager 0.13.0 or older, download it once more by hand first.

Where the zips go

Every zip here installs the same way: extract it into your game’s engine folder, so winhttp.dll sits next to Sanctuary.exe. It’s usually here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sanctuary Shattered Sun Playtest\engine

On Linux?

Set the launch options. In Steam, go to Sanctuary → Properties → General → Launch Options and enter:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command%

To remove the lot, delete engine\winhttp.dll, engine\BepInEx\ and engine\SanctuaryMods\ — Steam’s file check never knows they were there.

Install the Mod Manager

Mod Manager v0.17.0

A Mods page in the game menu for switching mods on and off and keeping them up to date, and a Mods panel in the lobby for the host’s gameplay mods.

Download the Mod Manager

Every mod you have, with a switch, on a Mods page in the game’s own menu.

A switch for every modTurn any mod on or off from the menu, or mid-match with F8. It takes effect straight away, with no restart.
Updates in one clickA red number on the Mods icon in the main menu says when your SanctuaryDB mods have updates. Click Update, or Update All, and they install and reload on the spot, with your settings kept.
Settings in the gameEvery option a mod has, as the game’s own switches and sliders. No config files to edit.
Every other mod is a small drop-inIt brings the loader the rest run on, so each mod after this is a small zip you extract and you’re done.
Gameplay mods, picked by the hostThe host switches on the mods for the match in the lobby’s Mods panel, and Start waits until everyone has the same copies. Every lobby starts vanilla, so you can still join anyone.
Spots a bad installA zip nobody extracted, or a mod one folder too deep, shows up on the Mods page with what’s wrong.

Add the mods you want

Each Download below is a small zip for the same engine folder. Launch the game and it’s on — switch it off or change its settings from Mods in the game menu, or F8 mid-match.

SanctuaryDB HUD v0.18.0

A mini-map, a proper economy readout, reclaim values, build timers, alerts and post-match stats.

Download

A match with it on: economy strip, mini-map, commander and the bottom panels. (Eco Manager and Idle Engineers on too.)

A mini-mapThe one thing the game is missing. Fog where you can’t see, every contact you can, and click or drag to move the camera.
Your economy at a glanceAlloy and energy stored, in, out and net per second, how long until you run dry, how fast your builds really go when you stall, and what a full store is wasting.
See what the wrecks are worthHold Left Alt and every wreck on screen shows its reclaim, added up when you zoom out.
Build timersA countdown under everything you’re building. Orange means you’re stalling it; red means nothing is building it.
Alerts that matterYour commander under attack, a key structure finished, a player dropping out — with optional voice packs.
Cleaner bottom panelsOnly the orders and build options your selection really has, and a unit card you can read at a glance. One switch brings the originals back.
Find your commanderOne click on the top-right button selects your commander and snaps the camera to it.
The whole match, afterwardsWhen the game ends, a stats window for every army: score, resources gathered, spent and wasted, units built, lost and killed, with charts over time.
Quit from the result screenA Quit button beside the result and the match stats takes you straight back to the menu.
Every panel your sizeDrag the grip in a panel’s corner to resize it: the economy strip, commander, bottom panels or mini-map. Each one remembers its size.
Stats on the unit cardSpeed, damage per second and range for the selected unit, or for the build option under your mouse, with a balance mod’s numbers when one is on.
Your engineers’ queueSelect engineers and the buildings they have queued show as tiles, like a factory’s. Right-click one to drop it and keep the rest.
Engineers that keep workingAssisting engineers finish the building when its builder dies, then carry on with their own queue. A factory assist ends when the unit is done, and a right-click on an unfinished factory builds it rather than just repairing it.
Optional extrasSwitch on the ones you want: cursors that show what a right-click will do, waypoints and rally points you can drag, a build queue you reorder by dragging, Ctrl-A for every unit of the selected types, Delete asking for a second press before it blows up your commander, and a match clock. The unit stats, engineer queue and engineer orders above are off until you switch them on too.

Eco Manager v0.9.2

See what’s eating your economy, and upgrade extractors without babysitting them.

Download

What’s eating your alloy and energy, hungriest first.

What’s spending your resourcesYour biggest builds in progress, alloy on one side and energy on the other, hungriest first. Click to select the builders, right-click to pause them.
Every extractor, by tierA row of tiles per tier, with the ones mid-upgrade beside them. Click a tile to select that group.
Assist to upgradeOrder an engineer to assist a finished extractor and it starts the upgrade, instead of standing there doing nothing.
Upgrades that don’t stall youEach upgrade waits, paused, until its engineer actually starts work — so queueing five at once won’t flatten your economy.
Sized to fitDrag the grip in either panel’s corner to make it bigger or smaller. It stays that size next match.

Idle Engineers v0.7.2

Never lose track of an engineer or factory with nothing to do.

Download

Idle engineers by tier, idle factories underneath. Click one to select them.

Idle engineers, by tierA tile for each tech tier with a count on it, and your commander on top. Click one to select that whole group.
Idle factories tooEvery factory with an empty queue, underneath. Click the heading to select them all and queue up in one go.
Gone when you don’t need itIt disappears completely when nothing is idle. Put it wherever you like, drag its corner to the size you want, and lock it there.

Build Hotkeys v0.5.1

One key per kind of unit, the same on every faction, and the game’s own keys wherever you want them.

Download

The build buttons show your keys.

Same keys, every factionE is an engineer, T a tank, W a factory — whoever you’re playing. Press again to step up the tiers.
Familiar to FA playersFollows Zulan’s hotbuild layout, which FA and FAF players already know. Shift queues five, Alt steps back.
Everything within reachShields, artillery, air and naval factories, tech centres and walls — everything the stock keys can’t reach.
Always know what you pickedA strip shows what each press chose, and the build buttons relabel themselves with your keys.
Order keysPause and repeat-build your selection, and Escape stops your factories, as in FAF. The pause menu can move to a key you won’t hit by accident.
Move any of the game’s keysEvery game action — orders, control groups, camera, chat, game speed — listed with its key. Type a new one, swap two, or unbind it. Take the mod out and the game’s own keys come back exactly.
Extractors snap at any zoomPlace one near a deposit and it snaps on, even zoomed right out. No more pixel-hunting.

Ladder Reporter v0.5.1

Queue for a ranked 1v1 on the site, and the ladder does the rest.

Download

Matches start themselvesGet paired with someone who also has it and both games make the lobby, take their seats and start. No hosting, no invites.
Results report themselvesWhen a ranked 1v1 ends, the result goes straight to the SanctuaryDB ladder.
Your stats and replay on the match pageSwitch on uploads and every ranked game’s stats and replay land on its ladder page, for anyone to look through or download. Off until you choose.
Stream your games liveSwitch on streaming and the game you’re playing shows up on the Live page while it runs. Anyone can watch it in their own game, three minutes behind. Off until you choose.
Nothing to set upInstall it and play ranked. It only ever touches two-player Steam lobbies that match an open ladder game.

Replay Manager v0.5.3

Watch replays properly: any player’s view, no fog, every economy.

Download

Every army at once, no fog.

Any seat, no fogWatch through any player’s eyes, or every army at once with the fog lifted.
Compare economiesEvery army’s economy side by side, with whole-game totals, so you can see where it was won. Click a column to sort by it.
Full playback controlPause, 0.25× to 16×, skip ahead a minute, restart. Or hide the timeline, so you can’t tell when it ends.

Camera Utilities v0.2.2

A clean picture for screenshots, videos and casting.

Download

Everything on one panel, mid-match.

Strip the screen bareSwitch off icons, range rings, order lines, planned buildings, health bars or the whole HUD, one at a time.
Icons only when you’re zoomed outStrategic icons can stay for the wide view and drop away as you dive in for the close-up.
See the whole battleUnits stay drawn much further out, so a wide shot shows the armies instead of a sea of icons.
Change it mid-shotEvery switch is on a small in-game panel, so you never have to leave the match. It stays up even with the whole HUD switched off.
