Sorry if I'm being a total idiot, but how do you mod objects in starbound. I'm trying to make the Metal Workstation craftable without a core, but there are two files in the folder with a .frames and .object extension respectively. Is there a straightforward way to access them?

Dropping coal directly into your gas tank is kinda dumb, they need to make a proper fuel unit that can be created from anything via a "Mr. Fusion" type console at different conversion rates. Eg; coal 1:1, wood 5:1, stone 20:1, etc. As of right now I just trash my stacks of 1000 dirt and I think I would get more of a feeling of return if I could just dump them into a machine even if I only got a 100:1 fuel return on them.

Vib Rib's biofuel mod kinda does that to some extent, but extending the idea to other "stackables" would be really neat, I agree.

Does anyone know anything about recolorable objects? I'm trying to make parts on my bug dudes recolorable but they just won't. I get that they have to be specific colors, like the "body color" part is supposed to be that orange color. That bit works. But I'm digging through all of the files for hair and other separately recolorable bits and they're this tan color. Even when I sample those colors directly they won't work when I boot up Starbound and try and change their colors in the character generator.

Does anyone have a decent guide for modding Starbound? I'd like to try my hand at custom items or possibly a custom race, but I don't know where to start.

Space ship dungeons are obvious. It doesn't take more then an idiot to realize that after porting through the same sectory to about 5 different stars that always having the exact same types of planets to land on are boring. Space junk and macro-asteroids and pirate/friendly ship dungeons are a logical advancement.

I'm wondering if all these random monsters is actually a good thing. On the one hand, visually they are all quite distinct, but mechanically so far they've all been pretty interchangeable. Hrm.

Just wait for a monster design overhaul in a few months, this game is so early and in active development I'd be surprised if the monsters remained this simple and samey for very long. Especially if they want to make the monster capturing stuff mean anything other than having some poo poo on your ship that will die in a day.

I've seen a set of tactical dreadnaught armor modded in, but I didn't save the picture set. It's been done though. Also I figured out the recolor thing. drat it feels good etc.

What you desire is on the way: Tiy posted:Monster Generation: Right now, monster parts just have stat boosts, but eventually rolled monster parts will affect their behavior and abilities. For example, monsters with spider legs can climb walls; fiery monsters inflict burning. You might get a burning spider dropping on you from the ceiling. Projectiles may be tied to specifically generated heads. Biome may influence monster part generation.

The meat biome is cool but it would be great to get a complete dungeon out of it with each room being an organ of some kind with a macroscopic immune system trying to purge you.

What's the last little bit of starbound.log? Also, the merging stuff is not yet in the game, so you do have to create a second, modified player.config for now.

I always thought you'd do exactly that, drop stuff into some universal fuel converter unit which than dumps it into the fuel tank, just without the need of you actually having to move it from one window to another. Never thought we'd run our ships on coal power.

Verranicus posted:Has Tiy or one of the other devs given us any idea when the net wipe is going to be? Last time it was a possibility, the Starbound twitter sent out a tweet saying that the next update might wipe characters, even though it didn't, just to pre-warn people and brace them for it just in case. I can't see why that practice wouldn't resume.

How the hell are people finding decent weapons? I'm in T4 right now and I have fully upgraded racial armor but my weapons don't do poo poo damage to anything. I'm at the point where I'm trying to summon and beat the Jelly boss but I can't even damage him. The only guns I've been able to find were from a random planet that had an Avian airship gun merchant and they don't seem to do much damage at all. I've been digging around like crazy looking for bosses and dungeons but haven't found any. Are there certain planet types they are more likely to spawn in or something? Maybe I've just been unlucky.

^^^ Well, there ya' go ^^^dog kisser posted:Have you figured out how to add outposts of your modded species, and if so whether you can tie it to biome? We really need a snow-adapted species! I haven't messed with that area yet (I will have to eventually, though) but I have an idea on how it works. It's the same way you make dropships and other dungeon stuff, though I'm not sure you even can tie stuff to biomes at the moment. You can tie them to planets, though, I assume, since I don't generally see Igloos anywhere but Snow Planets.
