StationeersLuaLua Scripting for Stationeers

Write cleaner, more powerful automation code using Lua instead of IC10 assembly

🚀

Full Lua 5.2 Runtime

Write scripts using standard Lua syntax — loops, functions, tables, closures, and more. No more 16-register limits or jump-label spaghetti.

🔌

Complete Device API

Read/write logic values, slots, reagents, memory, and batch operations. Everything IC10 can do, but with clean function calls.

🌐

Inter-Chip Networking

Send messages, publish/subscribe to topics, and call remote procedures between Lua chips on the same data network.

📚

Library Chips

Write reusable modules on library chips. Other chips load them with require() — just like real Lua development.

💾

Save/Load Persistence

Chip memory persists automatically. Opt-in serialize/deserialize hooks let you save custom Lua state across game saves.

🎮

ScriptedScreens Integration

Build custom touchscreen UIs on computer consoles with the companion ScriptedScreens mod — buttons, charts, gauges, and more.

Quick Example

lua

-- Blink a light on d0 every second
local LT = ic.enums.LogicType
local on = false

while true do
    on = not on
    ic.write(0, LT.On, on and 1 or 0)
    sleep(1)
end
