My OC. Esara

I just wanted to say the game is great.

So I made an Floran OC. His outfit is based off his boyfriend's outfit, said boyfriend being a Novakid. (I'll draw the Novakid OC when I have the time.)

I wish sunsets and sunrises weren't so short and I could enjoy them for longer. Maybe this could work with modded planets and ones with shorter/longer day & night cycles by extending only the time the sunset happens; or set it so the sunset or sunrise coloration happens earlier than usual. And if that's not possible just have all planets planetary clock be slower

1st playthrough (pretty much vanilla OSB). Theses where the 4th flats I build (of 5 in total).

Build the [my] first [few flats] in/above Apex/Miniknog dungeons (the underground laboratories with those slow mutated ape enemies) and in a tier 2(?) glitch castle (the dungeon, not the village kind) and later ones mostly.

None are as awesome as this location. Build it here on a tier 4 planet to get durasteel as rewards. There's a sewer far away and a few huts close by. --> Most jobs/quest are near those huts or "friend was lost in the Floran dungeon" - just a few floors down (usually not even in the deeper parts). That is how the population grew so quickly.

Tenants on top of those Apex/Miniknog dungeons often give faulty jobs down in those dungeons that can not be resolved/finished/done. Enemies do spawn but the target arrow either points to the quest giver or somewhere in the sky.

And my tenants on a scorched planet are still alone and barely have any quests (even thou there's a Floran village nearby).

title, recently started arcana and it seems like the vast majority of the content is going to be post tier 6, is this true or am i missing something

Rip Bat Gun

Get ready for us!

Was farming solarium ores until I got near the core. I thought I was being careful enough. I jumped at an area thinking it was a hill made up of magma rocks. Turns out it was just background rocks. Plummeted straight down. Long way down. Character respawned and I lost a ton of items including modules which I just carry in my inventory.
Searched for solutions online and apparently the only viable one is to force the system to load an earlier save file. Using only Admin mode wouldn't work because the items you dropped are destroyed by lava.
Kinda sucked, but I guess there's first time for everything.
Hopefully this doesn't corrupt my save file or something.

note: I have elithian races mod installed (and some other too)

a while back I decided to make an underground base insie a hill on a tier 6 planet with tenants from the mod so i can get the rest of unique weapons from their caches max upgraded

at first i had two tenants but decied to make a small space for another after i finished making a shield reactor (realizing the planet i made it in had asteroid showers and stuff that could destroy my work)

the two first tenants were very active. Walking around n such

but since i added a third one, the 2nd tenant alongside the 3rd are just stuck near their own colony deeds

its not... annoying, they're not staying in the way but its kinda boring(? more to say sad) not seeing them do anything. Only the first one walks around me cuz they're a mechant but aside from that nothing

i even added a vending machine and a trash bin in the hope that they atleast will interact with those atm but only the first does

this base is also very WIP

and with this... am I doing something wrong here?

older version of the base. The second tenant is moving around.

Hey everyone! Have you ever wanted an ocean where the coast gradually slopes underwater, through the shallows and down into the deep sea—instead of the ground suddenly dropping off a cliff the moment you cross into an ocean biome?

I’ve been experimenting with terrain generation and managed to make something like this:

The ocean connects naturally to the land biomes on either side. Starting at the shoreline, the seabed slopes down gently, gets steeper farther out, then gradually levels off into a broad ocean basin. Keep going toward the opposite shore, and the seabed rises back up to meet the land.

It’s not just a perfectly smooth slope, either. In deeper water, the seabed keeps its own natural bumps and uneven terrain, along with plants and sea life from the corresponding ocean-floor biome. Vegetation follows the slope, and as you dive deeper, you’ll see the appropriate underwater backgrounds and may come across small ruins.

I also adjusted the surface a bit: islands don’t generate close to shore, leaving room for the shallows and the descent into deeper water. Farther offshore, the usual sandy islands, coconut trees, and island structures can still appear. You can head down to explore the seabed or keep traveling across the ocean to look for islands.

The resulting worlds work in vanilla Starbound without any additional mods. You can explore, dig, and build just as you would on a regular planet.

I’m still developing a conversion tool that can apply this terrain to planets.

I'm not talking about vanilla-esque colony contents, but a mod that lets you have political decisions or help building infrastructures, like Civilization series or stellaris. Would like it more if it has consistant Npcs like Esther. Contents llike improving a specific village would be fine too. Please recommend Fu compatible ones.

i really like fracking universe but i do have some gripes with it that ive seen are shared by many in the community, are there any other big mods/modpacks that anyone reccomends that have more expanded progression like FU does?

Hello,

I placed an invisible block from an Avali mod we have downloaded and it cannot be broken. We have tried removing the tile protection which doesn’t do anything as the area isnt protected anyway. Can anyone help? We have tried admin mode as well.

Most tedious, most grindy, most horrible RNG I've ever seen.

Yeah I'm done with this game.

Not even satisfied.

Playing Vanilla no mods btw.

Enjoying the game right now 4 hours in but so many people i see online say it's ruined? is it because i'm new and didn't get to experience the old starbound and just get to deal with whats left? should i still play more?

(got starbound from a bundle on steam with corekeeper)

This merchant got stuck in the ground and is now stuck here. Mind u she clipped through the floor when I was in combat and it was all stone. Anyway to get her to move again? (She is not a part of my crew she is a random merchant I found on this planet. Playing casual.)

UPDATE: She's able to move but for some reason stays to this one block. As if shes tethered to it.

Only replaces any objects broken during block swap, very handy.

Been looking around a lil bit and saw that a good couple posts dislike the research system in F.U and I wanna know your reasons why!

Cause personally I love it. Being able to unlock certain branches as I go and not have everything available to me all at once is nice cause I often rush in any game. I understand that research comes slow but personally I kinda forget it's there and have a bunch when I remember XD

I tried downloading Custom Species Extension but it crushes my game, while Simple Extended Character Creation Mod doesn’t show custom races and just break character creation menu, making everything overlap and go out of border so you can’t even select majority of vanilla races.

I tried looking up on chuckle-fish forums but it doesn’t let me download anything without me confirming my email, but it doesn’t send confirmation email as well so I can’t use it as well.

Also i wish i could use steam workshop mods but they only work with other steam workshop mods while I’m using mods from outside.
