Starbound Mod: Starpounds Big Fatties

Last update was over a year ago, so pretty much whatever could be discussed has already been discussed. Only thing left it either interactions with other mods or changing files to fit your personal flavor.

I see well I asked a question a while back and I wanna know the answer since you’re a dev for the game

Here’s the question if you can ask this

Also did give a very cool idea if it could be added

I’m not a dev for this mod. I’m just a modder who knows how it works and I make my own personal edits.

As to your question, Never encountered that creature/object, sounds like a mod that existed before the major overhaul.

Why certain items were went unused? Can’t say for certain, but most likely because they are draft edition of items or folks weren’t happy with them, so they were disabled or moved to the back burner.

As an Idea for additions. Again, I’m not part of the dev team of this mod in any capacity. But… Generally most devs for mods already have an incredibly full plate of stuff they are already working on; all of which they do for free. That said they no doubt occasionally view this thread, and if they like an idea they might add it or make a change. But in most cases it’s drastically easier for everyone if you simply teach yourself how to edit mods for starbound and do the change yourself. Starbound is incredibly easy to mod compared to everything else, and most can learn to mod after about a week or so.

As for your actually Idea, it’s not as easy. You’d have to make a new faction and make a trigger that when you interact with it make that faction friendly with you. It is possible, and has been done with other mods, but it’s not easy. But if you want to tackle it, by all means.

Again Starbound is probably the easiest game out there to mod and there are dozens of tutorials on youtube. If you really want to see changes to any mod, it’s almost always significantly easier to simply learn how to mod and make those changes yourself.

Kudos to Shy and the rest of the team for their good work. On an unrelated note, what are some QoL mods you cannot live without? For me it’d be Gardenbot2, Perennial & Compact Crops, this trio removes much of the tedium of farming mid to late-game and gives a nice pixelsink via bots.

As for my personal hopes for some later updates, I’d love to see some Lipomancy/Calorium-touched crops we can farm for complex fatty foods or massive late-game gains.

For me,

  • Base in a Box - Lets you copy & paste buildings for a resource cost. That way I don’t have to build the same structure a bunch of times.
  • 1 Ore 2 Bars - I don’t enjoy grind farming a bunch of materials.
  • Automatic Capsules - Just walk over capsules on ground and they autobreak.
  • Automatic Doors
  • Perennial & Compact Crops.
  • Take Everything - Adds a Hotkey that you can hit to loot everything in a container
  • Better Dash - Makes it so hold up and a direction dashes you, instead of having to double click a direction.
  • Enhanced Storage
  • Fast Beam - Allows you to beam to any known teleporter.
  • Fixed Critters - Critters don’t get stuck no more.
  • Food Stacks
  • Improved Food Descriptions - Tells you what food does.
  • Lit Tents - Tents light up when used.
  • Melee Aiming - You can aim melee.
  • One handed torch
  • Planet Search - Can search for specific planets, dungeons, or biomes.
  • Recipe Browser
  • Show item names - Shows item ids when you hover over them.
  • Sandstorm Debris Fix - Sandstorms no longer entomb everything and now just act like snow.

Same.

All my playtroughs basically have this mod. Even if sometimes I focus on other things this is just a nice to have in there.

Anyways, wish the devs all the best with the development. Excited to see where this goes in 1 or 2 years time!

Found a Problem!

I’m sorry to hear that…

Then What am I supposed to do?

personally, if the game isnt booting up you will need to do a clean install (go into the game’s folder and delete it) or unsubscribe from mods one by one until the game opens up

Do not listen to that terrible advice just now. A clean install never fixes issues with mods.
Since you continue to vague post about your issue and refuse to post your log. I will just refer that you follow the installation guide exactly as it’s written.

Oh you been offline on this post for a very long while huh?

Bröther, this looks fantastic, can’t wait to try it out. Is the beginner’s grace thing an effect you can disable though?

Very Clean, and very well laid out. Can’t wait to see the next release.

Does anyone else have this problem?
After digesting a large meal and moving around (which drains energy), sometimes the energy doesn’t recharge at all, and for some reason, leaves your character in a state of invincibility. This is cancelled when you return to the ship. Here’s the log, if anyone needs it.

Otherwise, I love this mod and its updates, it’s certainly amazing how much has been done in these past…eight years?! Wow.
