RSHub

Unofficial game launcher for UnityStation.

RSHub is a terminal application written in Rust for listing and connecting to UnityStation game servers. UnityStation is a modern remake of Space Station 13 in Unity.

Feature comparison to official Hub

[1] Even though launching game without auth has major inconveniences, described in issues, I am not planning to support firebase (unitystation is switching to their own provider).

Platform support

• Linux: developed and tested on.
• Windows: seem to work, though I do not have machine to test it.
• Mac: it might work, but most likely it would not because of platform limitations. I have no machine to test it.

Installation

Prebuilt binaries can be found in releases.

RSHub requires nightly rust toolchain to build (unstable strip feature). If you do not have nightly toolchain, you can prefix cargo commands with RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 cargo ... as a workaround.

Install from crates.io (stable version): cargo install rshub
Or with geolocation feature: cargo install rshub --feature geolocation

Run from source (latest version): cargo run or cargo run --release (slow)

Usage

• Use --help to get CLI usage.
• Press F1 on any screen to show hotkeys.

Issues

There are multiple issues using RSHub currently:

• Linux, i3 specific: game starts in fullscreen in bad resolution. Solution: uncheck fullscreen mode in game settings.
• You will get auth error when connecting to server. This is because of a workaround for this bug: https://github.com/unitystation/unitystation/issues/7375
• When connecting to server, you will have to uncheck Host Server checkbox because of this bug: https://github.com/unitystation/unitystation/issues/7376
• When connecting to server, you will have to enter your password each time. Autologin is broken: https://github.com/unitystation/unitystation/issues/7377

Geolocation

Currently geolocation feature (world map) is opt-in at compile time because of security cencerns. You will have to add --features geolocation to cargo commands to enable it. This is because service I use for geolocation has too high ratelimits and I had to set up my own instance.
While solves ratelimits problem, it lets me gather IP addresses (and locations) of hub users, so I made it strictly opt-in.
