I installed the Food Description Fix mod and I do have the original Improved Food Descriptions mod. When I run the game with just the IFD it works fine, but as soon as I try to run the game with the Food Description Fix mod it crashes, saying "Asset source ‘Big Fatties Description Fixer’ is missing dependency ‘Improved Food Descriptions’ "
yeah, the mod doesn’t recognize the steam version so you have to get the manual download one off the starbound wiki
Can you send a link to the one we are supposed to use please?
Nevermind I found it, on the Chucklefish Forums. You do need to create an account in order to download it (annoyingly) but it does work with the Big Fatties Fix
Wait, you’re describing new gasses? What are they from? Do enemies spray these gases? Do they make you fatter?
These gasses are expelled as new effects coming from status pods, coming from my new add-on. There are fattening and slimming versions, as the names suggest. Look at the bottom of the 2nd post in here for the download.
Sounds interesting. I probably would ask for flatulence in some add-on mod, but I’m not too sure about you.

I have to say, flatulence and similar ‘unclean’ stuff won’t come from my side. But I’m sure there is someone out there that can help you with that.
I was hinting at that, too, but I don’t think Tobias1595 or Dispatch would approve of it.
@Tobias1595 The new status pod effects are loads of fun to mess around with, and I find myself actively hunting the pods to see all the different effects. Thanks again for implementing the suggestions!
Some of them do seem to be a bit underwhelming- namely, the honey and chocolate ones produce very little liquid, often only one or two tiles. Would it possible to tweak these to be a bit more spectacular, per-se?
One of my favorites has to be the coconut one- the associated animation and coconut explosion are spectacular to see!

For some reason the food description mod crashes my game. As in, if I’m remembering correctly anyway because this happened way before I made this account, my game wouldn’t start up. I have no mod that affects the food descriptions on steam and the only mods I have in my mods folder from places other than steam are all Big Fatties related.
I’ve also had an issue happen to me last time I played where the status pods just crashed my game when used. One day they worked, next time I played they didn’t. No clue why.
Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention that I did of course get the Improved Food Descriptions mod when I tried it.
The description issue is pretty common. In short, when starting Starbound through Steam, it first loads only the mods from the mods folder, and then notices that it is supposed to load the Workshop mods too and does a full reload. My Fix gets loaded the first time around already, but specifies that it requires the description mod itself, which isn’t loaded until the second attempt. The result is a crash about missing dependency mods, before the Workshop mods even get a chance to be loaded.
The thing about the status pods is concerning. Do you still have the game log of that crash? (It would be best to send it per DM, to avoid clutter. Clicking my profile pic next to this post should bring up the option.) Starbound saves the five most recent logs next to the current one, all in the ‘storage’ folder next to the mods folder.
That might be a problem, I don’t have a program that can open the log files.
I was also playing co-op with a friend, whenever either of us opened a status pod my game would crash back to the main menu but my friend would be fine, still in the game.
A) The log files are simple text files, any text/code editor should be able to show them, starting with Windows’ Notepad.
B) You don’t need to open it to send it to me. Just grab the whole file. In doubt, send all six there are, I can look through them all.
Aaaand, since I got some thing done again, here a little summary of changes:
- Little update to the status pod fountains, following the suggestion of Ethyriel a few posts above
- Two brand new add-ons, one suggested by 1234-5-6 in the suggestions thread, and another one I came up with while writing that first one.

Oh someone actually saw that post. Cool that it was made into an add on, glad you liked the idea enough to actually enough make it into one.
Ok, I feel like I am missing something here. I cannot find the Anomalous Cake in the big fatties vendor, is it in the modfatties one or somewhere else?
It’s not sold regularly, just like chocolate and honey aren’t obtainable normally. These are unused things in Big Fatties that I simply wanted to give some love. If you want it, spawn it in, or use the food rations.

PS: what is the item ID for the Anomalous Cake for apocalypt- I mean gorging purposes
