I think your size does affect your character’s gravity, bigger sizes seem to fall quite fast (helps explain why you bounce so high into the air upon landing). On top of that, moving yourself with rope / the grappling hook gets tougher as you get fatter. I haven’t done any direct comparisons between falling speeds of different weights though, so maybe take that with a grain of salt without proper testing.

Also, speaking of the grappling hook, what’s so special about the “Suspicious Grappling Hook” that comes with the BF mod, aside from the name and unique description? Seems to function like a regular one, excluding its ability to be bought much earlier than you’d be able to make one normally.

Its just a cheaper grapple gun for early game. It might have more range but idk

Makes sense, having it available earlier is better than having to switch off size effects any time you got stuck. Though it’d be cool if it pulled you more effectively even at larger sizes, but I’m not sure if it would be possible to change its pulling power at individual levels of fatness specifically rather than just in general.

I installed this , it makes the regular grapple hook pull with more power and the suspicious one stays the same so you can use it when you are lighter

That would only be possible if you did several grapple guns with different pulling strengths. However that would be virtually worthless since most everyone would choose the strongest grapple gun every time.
If movement speed bothers you, I sometimes use the grapple gun you can make in FU, since that one doesn’t behave like a rope item.

As far as I’ve seen on the files, there’s a “chubby grappling hook” Which is the weakest, the suspicious one, and the default one being the strongest.
I can’t seem to spawn the chubby one, so it might just be a concept

Hello! Just want to say that I am also one of those people who just had Starbound lying around my steam account until I stumbled upon this wonderful mod! I’m not one for vore or immobility, but this mod is fantastic and I have been having some fun with it! I understand that the main post covers the basics, but is there some sort of readme or wiki that I am missing?Or maybe some sort of central post for all these addons for it? Thanks!

First time posting on this board, please be gentle. Is there any chance we’ll see more content relating to the Avali, or are you only adding comparability for the race, and nothing else?

1425

There’s barely anything to work with for Avali, so likely almost a guaranteed no on anything else.

is there a way i can add the fatray effect on other guns

1428

Like a m2 special ability?

1429

i dont know what that is

1430

I think M2 = mouse button 2, aka usually the right mouse button

1431

Correct. That is what I meant by ‘m2.’

1432

maybe say alternate/special fire/ammo, like it does ingame, using your own terms can be confusing for those that’s never heard of them.

1433

this mod supports the 1.3.4 version of starbound?

It’ not my own term. I was using terms that are used in the TF2 community out of habit.

As of the current version, 1.4 is a requirement for a major feature to even function. Updating your game, or buying the game is required.

Thanks for the replies!
I did figure out how to lose weight and after playing awhile, it’s a ton of fun! I can see some places for improvement, but for what it is it’s amazing! I love it so much! I actually have done some roleplay on it with a small friend group, but otherwise I think it’d be way more fun with a whole server!
