</>What does Launch Codes do?
Launch Codes gives you immediate access to the ship launch codes in Outer Wilds without replaying the opening sequence every loop or save. Whether you are testing mods, revisiting planets, practicing routes, or jumping straight into exploration, this utility removes the delay between waking up and taking off. Instead of repeating the observatory introduction, you can unlock the launch authorization instantly and head directly to your ship. It is especially useful for experienced players replaying the game, challenge runners, explorers experimenting with different routes, or anyone returning to the solar system after a break. The mod keeps the rest of the game intact while streamlining one of the most repeated early game steps. Wake up, grab your suit, launch into space, and continue exploring the mysteries of the Hearthian system on your own terms.
