Hey guys, it's been years since I last played Starbound. I played way back before quests were even added and when bosses were still craftable (not even sure if that's still a thing lol).

I've been wanting to get back into it with a bunch of friends, so I wanted to ask: any mod recommendations or things I should know as a returning player? Also any good mods for completely new players?

I've seen people talk about stuff like Frackin' Universe, Arcana, Betabound, Starforge, OpenStarbound, etc., but I'm not really sure what's considered the "best" experience nowadays, specially for new players.

Mostly looking for:

• Good multiplayer/co-op experiences
• QoL mods
• Content expansions
• Anything that makes the game feel more alive without becoming too grindy

Would appreciate any recommendations or tips before we jump back in!
