Hello, anyone know how to extract .PAK files? The game is Starbound. I found some tools, but they were not for this game and could not extract it.

You must provide a sample file.

I already figured it out. I was able to extract it using Game Extractor.

Hmmm... Tools in folder win32\

Example: win32\asset_unpacker.exe assets\packed.pak packed

Code:

Command Line Usage: asset_packer.exe [-help] [-version] [-c ] [-s] [
-v]  

  -help - Show help text
  -version      - Print version info
  -c        - JSON file with ignore lists and ordering info
  -s    - Enable server mode
  -v    - Verbose, list each file added
