SkipDropshipCompany

A Lethal Company mod that skips the dropship for item purchases on the Company and in some limited situations.

Compatibility

• Lethal Company v81.5 (2026-04-17 UTC, Manifest ID: 6423525044216269478)
  • Test environment
    • BepInExPack v5.4.2305 (2026-03-17 UTC)

What it does

• Direct Ship Delivery: Purchased items are delivered directly to your ship instead of being delivered by dropship.

When it activates

Direct ship delivery feature activates when any of these conditions are met:

• While landed on the Company
• In orbit on the first day (also the day after ejected)
• In orbit on the next day after landing on the Company, still routing to the Company (in the same session only)

You can still use the dropship on the other moons as usual.

Cruiser still uses the dropship for delivery.

Who needs to install

Host only. Clients do not need to install this mod, but it's safe to install on clients as it will have no effect.

If clients (including non-modded) purchase items, the direct ship delivery feature will also work for them.

Where the items spawn

Purchased items will spawn inside your ship, near the default item position for the out-of-bounds items.

Each item type will be placed with a small offset to avoid overlapping.

Configuration

FAQ

Can't use the dropship to attract enemies on eclipse day?

You can still use it.

• Purchase items in orbit after rerouting to a moon
• Purchase items after starting landing on a moon

The dropship will arrive as usual on that moon in these cases.

You can change the first day behavior in configuration if your first day is eclipsed or you are using a mod like stormytuna/EclipseOnly.

Already purchased items before the conditions are met. Will they be delivered directly to the ship?

No. Only items purchased after the conditions are met will be delivered directly to the ship.

However, if you purchase additional items before the dropship arrives, they will be delivered together with the previous ones to the ship.

This behavior may be changed in the future version since it depends on the base game implementation.

Is it compatible with FasterItemDropship/LC_FasterRocket/HQoL?

At least the following versions are assumed to be compatible.

• FlipMods/FasterItemDropship v1.3.1
• zoomstv/FasterRocket v1.0.1
• HQHQTeam/HQoL v1.0.14

Does it work for the legacy versions of Lethal Company?

No test has been done for them. It is recommended to use the intended Lethal Company v81.5 baseline above.

Differences from Nexor/InstantBuy

Nexor/InstantBuy works only on Company moons by default since v0.0.8 (2026-01-24 UTC). It can be configured to run on other moons by disabling its Company Only option.

This mod has no equivalent moon-scope configuration. Its first-day option only changes first-day orbit behavior.

Nexor/InstantBuy applies direct delivery to the vanilla Company moon (Gordion), some modded Company moons, and orbit around those Company moons while Company Only is enabled.

This mod always limits direct delivery to the vanilla Company moon and limited orbit cases around the Company.

Nexor/InstantBuy can be configured to exclude specified items from instant purchases.

This mod does not have such a configuration option yet.

Differences from befuddled_productions/Quick_Buy_Menu

befuddled_productions/Quick_Buy_Menu adds some chat commands to purchase items in a faster way.

This mod uses the terminal as usual to purchase items.

befuddled_productions/Quick_Buy_Menu stores the purchased items into the player's inventory directly.

This mod stores the purchased items on the ship directly.

Differences from FlipMods/FasterItemDropship

FlipMods/FasterItemDropship reduces the waiting time for the dropship to arrive after purchasing items.

This mod just spawns the purchased items directly on your ship instead of the dropship delivery.

Differences from zoomstv/FasterRocket

zoomstv/FasterRocket reduces the waiting time for the dropship to arrive after purchasing items.

This mod just spawns the purchased items directly on your ship instead of the dropship delivery.

Differences from HQHQTeam/HQoL

HQHQTeam/HQoL is a collection of High Quota quality-of-life changes.

Its faster company dropship feature reduces the waiting time for the dropship to arrive after item purchases or Cruiser orders.

This mod just spawns the purchased items directly on your ship instead of the dropship delivery.

Differences from dozyote/EarlyDropship

dozyote/EarlyDropship delivers items purchased in orbit before the ship lands.

This mod just spawns the purchased items directly on your ship instead of the dropship delivery.

v0.2.5 - 2026-05-09 UTC

This release updates the Thunderstore documentation.

No gameplay changes are introduced.

Fixed

• Clarified the comparison with Nexor/InstantBuy. Nexor/InstantBuy is documented as defaulting to Company moons, with other moons available by disabling its Company Only option. The comparison now separates moon-scope configuration, Company moon coverage, Company-orbit behavior, and item-exclusion configuration. SkipDropshipCompany's documented direct-delivery scope is limited to the vanilla Company moon and limited orbit cases around the Company.

v0.2.4 - 2026-05-09 UTC

This release updates the Thunderstore documentation.

No gameplay changes are introduced.

Fixed

• Corrected the comparison with Nexor/InstantBuy. Nexor/InstantBuy works only on Company moons by default since v0.0.8 because its Company Only option defaults to enabled. Users can still configure Nexor/InstantBuy to run on other moons by disabling that option.

v0.2.3 - 2026-05-09 UTC

This release updates the Thunderstore documentation.

No gameplay changes are introduced.

Fixed

• Restored the Nexor/InstantBuy comparison note about excluding specified items from instant purchases. The note was unintentionally removed while updating the Company moons comparison for v0.2.2. SkipDropshipCompany does not have an equivalent item-exclusion configuration option.

v0.2.2 - 2026-05-09 UTC

This release updates the Thunderstore documentation.

No gameplay changes are introduced.

Changed

• Clarified how this mod differs from Nexor/InstantBuy:
  • Nexor/InstantBuy can be configured to work only on Company moons since its Thunderstore v0.0.8 release.
    • Correction added in v0.2.4: this wording was incomplete. Nexor/InstantBuy works only on Company moons by default since v0.0.8 because its Company Only option defaults to enabled. Users can configure it to run on other moons by disabling that option.
  • SkipDropshipCompany has no configuration except for the first-day option to change its direct-delivery behavior.
• Added HQHQTeam/HQoL to the compatibility notes and comparison section. HQHQTeam/HQoL includes a faster company dropship feature, while SkipDropshipCompany skips the dropship delivery and places purchased items on the ship directly.

Fixed

• Corrected the dozyote/EarlyDropship comparison.

Notes

• Compatibility:
  • Compatible with Lethal Company v81.5 (2026-04-17 UTC, Manifest ID: 6423525044216269478).

v0.2.1 - 2026-05-08 UTC

This release rebuilds SkipDropshipCompany for Lethal Company v81.5 and includes internal improvements.

No gameplay changes are introduced.

Changed

• Rebuilt for Lethal Company v81.5.
• Improved internal implementation structure and release flow.
• Added the Thunderstore AI Generated category to the package metadata:
  • The Lethal Company Thunderstore community currently provides this category for authors to disclose when a significant portion of a mod was created using AI tools.
  • This project uses the category to disclose AI assistance in project work; it is package metadata rather than a gameplay feature.
  • The project decided to use this category because:
    • It has used and expects to keep using AI tools to assist with development and maintenance, and to reduce workload.
    • The applicable disclosure threshold is not clear.
  • Human maintainer review remains the project policy.

Notes

• Compatibility:
  • Compatible with Lethal Company v81.5 (2026-04-17 UTC, Manifest ID: 6423525044216269478).
