How to Download
Unitystation typically only takes a few moments to download and start playing. If you are having trouble or are confused this guide should help clear things up.
The Stationhub
Unitystation the game is launched through a launcher called the Stationhub. When downloading you will be installing the Stationhub, this launcher allows you to see a list of all the public servers and download the builds or forks they are using from there and join them. The Stationhub is also a good way to keep track of Unitystation news under the "News" tab.
Downloading through the Unitystation Website
The first way to download Unitystation is through the website (linked above). Clicking the download button on the homepage will automatically read which operating system you are using and start to install the correct version of it.
Steps for Windows
After clicking download from the website a zipped folder should begin to install.
Once the folder is finished downloading you will want to open it up and extract it to wherever you want the files to be kept.
After that you should be done installing the Stationhub, I recommend making a shortcut and moving it to wherever you keep your games for easier access.
Double-click the StationHub.exe and it will open.
