My favorite games in the world are Terraria and Starbound. My dream game has always been to have a sandbox game with living villages where the people have their own lives and stories and quests.

I love love love Starbound's vibe overall, but I thought the village simulation could be deeper and more interesting, like if the villagers actually had storylines

I'm trying to give it a try myself. I'm doing the code, art, and music myself (no AI art or assets whatsoever).

The core idea is that I've making the village simulation more complex, based on the Sims story progression system. The idea is that villagers' lives will evolve dynamically, where they can have crushes, get married, have midlife crises, get sick, etc. And the quest system is essentially you helping them out with these problems

What do you guys think? Is there anything I could add that'd make it fun?

Is there any place to get actual information about this mod? I've been playing it for about a week, and I feel like I can't figure out a huge portion of the content. The wiki is basically empty and I can only get occasional info from Google searches. I read all the in-game guides and codexes I could find too.

For example: I can't find the bosses from Volcanic or Shining Seas planets. I found what I am like 95% sure is the glitch volcanic forge where the Volcanic boss should appear, but I explored a few and never found the boss. Ended up just going straight to the Anima planet boss to get the Pale EPP. I have no idea what corridors are or how to reach them.

I'm genuinely about to just give up on this mod but plenty of people seem to have no problem figuring it all out.

Thanks!

This is a mod which functions as a secondary storage UI with crafting capabilities for crafting stations placed directly into the storage. Just think "Infinitier Inventory" meets "DigitalCrafting" except with a list-based arrangement of stored items and more advanced sorting and filtering capabilities. Additionally, you can create up to 10 gear profiles (armor, cosmetics, action bar slots, and techs) and access a favorites menu just like in Skyrim.

I sometimes see people put FU in their post titles, what exactly is that referring to?

It feels like I get cursed out by simply opening reddit.

The purpose of this post is to establish to Reddit wayfarers (looking for Starbound communities) that this one is no longer available. This helps prevent joiners thinking there’s an active community from old ads that I posted. (I don’t want people in the Discord application asking for Starbound when we aren’t doing it anymore)

Hey.

So the title is self-explanatory, but after a heavy personal crisis, some identity searching, and overall attitude I feel from the community I have decided to shutdown Ryanor’s Expanse as a project.

For anyone who helped along the way I am thankful and grateful for your efforts. It lasted for quite a bit before I decided to ultimately stop paying for the server and the effort around it :).

Hope y’all have a nice day ✌️.
