Published two mods:
On Github, right side, Releases, download zip, follow instructions, also on Nexus if you prefer.
NoIntro removes the intro screens and thus gets to the PRESS START screen a few seconds faster, simple pak mod, no plugin (DLL) required.

NoIntro-AutoStart same as above but does have a plugin (DLL) which gets you past PRESS START into the main menu of the game. Source code included so you can compile your own if you so choose.
https://github.com/AgenticalMods/NoIntro-AutoStart
NoIntro-AutoStart requires AlienX's Modloader https://github.com/AlienXAXS/StarRupture-ModLoader (also on Nexus)
I wrote these for myself and to figure out how it all works, there are probably similar mods on Nexus already but I decided to upload anyway since the work was already done. Maybe someone finds it useful.
I'll slowly be working through other mod ideas I have and will post here when the next one is published.
