Whenever I try to open Autonauts it says "There should be 'Autonauts_Data' folder next to the executable" can I have some help?

It's possible you've not unzipped it correctly? You need to make sure all the files and folders in the zip are extracted.

Thanks! It works now! :D.

If you haven’t opened the game yet, I presume that you may have just downloaded it from the website.  What you have downloaded is probably a file with a name like “Autonauts_ Version_21.2_Windows x64.zip” or “Autonauts_NoLighting_Version_21.2_Windows x64.zip” and that file was downloaded into your “Downloads” folder.  

This game, like many others was downloaded in a compressed format, indicated by the “.zip” extension.  You will need to “unzip” (”uncompress”) the .zip file to get all of the working files onto your PC.  Open your “Downloads” folder.  Right-click on the .zip file and select “Extract All”.

A window will open that says “Select a Destination and Extract Files”.  Enter (or Browse to) a folder with a name such as “C:\Users\Owner\Documents\yourname\Autonauts”.  The field labeled “Show extracted files when complete” should have a check mark.  Click on the “Extract” button.  

The game and its files will be extracted to the folder you chose and that folder will now be show.  The folder includes the file named “Autonauts.exe”.  Right-click on that file and select “Pin to taskbar”.  The game will appear on the taskbar with the three-arrow Unity icon, which you can now click to run the Autonauts game.
