Oh, a Manipurrrlator? For me...? ^•⩊•^

Meet Nebula (or Nebby or Nebs), my Neki player holding her brand-new manipulator ^^ (after everyone else has been tentacled away...)

I drew this with ink, coloured pencils and acrylic paint a few weeks ago before getting back into digital art :D

Popular Starbound Races and Your Favorites??

I've noticed over the years that there are some races that get a lot more love then others, at least based on the modding community.

I remember my first mod list was taken from someone elses workshop on steam and my game was unbelievably loaded with Avali stuff. Kinda assumed the race was some kind of niche but devoted favorite in the furry fandom. The Neki's too have a lot, but being a middle and high schooler in the 2010's makes that pretty unsurprising... sorta an interesting time capsule though lol.

My personal faveorite is the Lyceen... prolly cuz I'm sorta an ex-furry ig XD. They're adorable and I think the different legs are cool, just sucks that not all mod pants works with them.

Lyceen

But all that just made me wanna jump into the server and ask yall what your favorite races in the game are, modded or not! I love hearing peoples stories about the game too with how many good memories I have playing it when it came out till now.

Hardgold Custom Weapons

Since I've recieved a lot of supportive and excited comments in the other post I made earlier this week, I figured I'll share another set of weapons I've made. This time it's for a hero with a heart of gold! 💛

The weapon names are "Hardgold [...]":

- Aegis (a shield with exceptional durability)
- Demoralizer (a poison whip that steals life and grants the user thorns)
- Blessing (a wand able to heal friends and foes - for the hero is mercyful)
- Retributor (a one handed mace that causes enemies to explode on a killing blow)
- Sentinel (a bow with the alt ability to fire "hate seeking" arrows)
- Vindicator (a shortsword that finishes its many thrusts with a beam of light)
- Purifier (a two handed axe able to shoot a piercing axe of pure light)
- Scryer (a staff with the ability make enemies glow in a large area around the hero - even if there are walls in between, lighting up most dark caves)
- Destiny (a one handed lance withe ability to keep enemies at bay, just like a spear)
- Integrator (a very long spear that fires a stream of piercing lightning bolts)

Additionally they all glow in the dark and emit light. For everyone lost and wandering in the dark to see the light of hope; the hero!

There are also elemental repeaters but they are up for a redesign (hence they are not included here). A broadsword is also planned (any ideas for a name?) but I don't know when I will get to it as I'm currently working on many new custom enemies instead.

Weapon Special Abilities.

Does anyone have a full list of the altAbilityType(s) that are contained in the base game? My google-fu is only turning up partial lists, as does digging though my unpacked files with Agent Ransack (I may just not know the best way to find them in the unpacked files).

why does it keep crashing?

i need severe help, my starbound wont open, i already tried uninstalling mods, taking a look in my properties, nothing worked, so please does anyone know how to fix it, also this apearared after i deleated all save files i had in the game

EDIT: look i get that i didnt give that many information, but i dont know how to acess what you guy are telling me to, and i dont really want to learn that, because i just want to have fun, but i thank you for your advice, i will do what iLLuSSiOn_RL told me to do, that being installing openstarbound, i will edit the post again if it works or not, also Ctkrnov shut up, your advice is terrible, like i am not going to delete my system files with the chance of breaking something, like my pc already has a history of crashing and acting like it hates me, i dont need more problems like that

EDIT2: yup the problem was that steam was pulling it from a corrupted backup, so we are finally back, yes YES YEEEEEEEE-

EDIT3: i am going to talk with the guy who made flightpath mod, because it was in the fucking logs that the mod made a exception that crashed the hole thing, i am stupid

Any thoughts or advice on making/finding an OSB compatible mod collection on Steam?

I am brand new to OpenStarbound and I want to make sure that the mods I use are compatible with it. Are there any popular mods that conflict? I know this may seem like a dumb question but it's been a while since I've played Starbound and I wanted to get back into it! Thank you for your help.

I think I get why people don't like FU...

Aside from disgusting taste related with Kevin and other gore stuffs, as I go through mods 'Incorporated into FU', many are not just dead after they got merged with FU.

And....... it feels like not all is merged by the original creator's will.

I'm not completely sure, but some of the mod descriptions sound like the case.

Copper Pirate Custom Weapons

A set of weapons I've made, fit for a mighty pirate! Yarr! 🏴‍☠️🦜

The weapon names are:

- Donation (Dagger)
- Inheritance (Broadsword)
- Compliance (Sword)
- Persuasion (Pistol)
- Resignation (Shoulder Cannon)

By now there's also the Bestowment (Shotgun) and Motivation (Spear) but they were made after I created this arrangement a while ago.

You might also ask what's the deal with the shark? Well, the cannon's alt ability fires a copper fish that then causes a giant shark to appear and chomp it! He's very happy to do so! :3

( Edit: Not sure why the image became so blurry, you might wanna enhance it for better quality. :< )

Created my first (and astronomically simple) mod, since I couldn't find anything like it, for if you don't like that standard warp out animation like me.

Go find it here. I'm not really sure what else to add, it's just a single animation replacement so you do a cool crouch before teleporting out instead of just... Standing around.

Universally compatible afaik, unless you've got some mod that ALSO replaces playerwarpout.png.

Link also here, at the bottom of the text now instead of the top.

Mod Where NPCs Recognize Proximity-Activated Doors?

Normally NPCs are not able to navigate through closed doors that have any kind of input connection, even if one of those inputs is a proximity sensor that would open the door for them. I was thinking about making a mod that solves this issue. I know nothing about StarBound's Lua API, nor do I have much experience with Lua itself, but learning is fun so I would like to try. Also, I've looked at the code for doors and pathing and how they interact and it looks as simple as changing a few flags if the door is wired correctly, so this might be easier than I think.

Most importantly, does a mod like this already exist? I don't want to waste time making a duplicate mod for no reason. If not, is there actually demand for a mod that does this? I specifically want this I can make a colony with KnightFall's doors while still having them be automatic.

Thanks for reading and happy space travels!

Request for Mods

Good day to you all. I am relatively new to Starbound and I have a lot of fun with the game. However, I also like to play around with games through the usage of mods. The workshop already provided me with some amazing and very fun ones to use, but there are two mods I would like to play that are not from there, but from the Chucklefish Forums. Namely:

The Plot Armor Mod

The EBS & EEBS Mod

I tried making an account there, but I am incapable of verifying it, no matter what I try. Is it possible that someone has these mods and could provide them to me? I would be very thankful for that. Really, I would be.

Thank you for your time, and I hope it was not wasted in any way.

Finally rebuilt my ship from scratch since I had moved all the crafting stations and storage off... Quite proud of the result. But I have one problem...

u/a_dude111 — 9 days ago

Has Chucklefish at any point mentioned they plan on updating this game again?

I know officially it's not been designated as "Abandoned" but I am wondering if it were to ever receive updates considering the scope and potential the game still has. I've played it since day 1, and then the new story mode, which I found really fun, but also a bit sad that some planets are simply "just there" and don't really have much of a purpose.

Like, why would you ever want to visit the poison planets or volcano planets, you know? Just wished they just all had something in common with each other, or a purpose for being there that goes beyond roleplaying, since for RP, it's perfect.
