XboxPants posted:I do want to note that, as near as I can figure out with my limited skills, liquids seem to be extremely limited compared to other things like monsters and objects and gear. Part of it is just that we don't have the function/variable names, but a big part is they don't seem to be able to interface with Lua scripts. I tried a few days ago to make an invisible liquid for simulating atmosphere in moonbases, in preparation for the "no air" feature (whenever it shows up). I got it breathable and providing warmth but there's no way to disable swimming and/or the sound muffling. I sent Tiy a message on the official forums asking if we could get those features added, but I imagine he gets thousands of messages, so I'm not expecting a reply. One other thing that occurred to me since then was that setting a liquid as breathable might not even work once planets are airless, but I guess that's something we'll find out eventually.

Novasol posted:I have Tabula Rasa installed correctly, but when I try to launch Starbound with your mod, it says it's missing the dependency tabularasa. Sweet, thanks a lot! I haven't updated my Tabula Rasa for a while, so that's exactly the kind of bug I wouldn't have caught but would have broke things for people. Also I hope the Rasa dev doesn't just keep changing that mod's name every patch. I'll fix that before I upload it.

Similar results here. I wanted a thick, difficult to swim through liquid, but there seems to be pretty much no way to alter an individual liquid's physics. I considered modifying the base character's physics to make them slower, then applying a permanent buff to the player to simulate normal movement, and then making the thick liquid temporarily disable the movement buff, but I couldn't figure out any way to cancel a buff. If you could activate techs or tech-like results through status-effects, you could probably turn off the underwater multijump mechanic, but like I said I couldn't figure out any way to do that. The best workaround I can imagine is generating invisible objects in the water that serve that purpose but that's not exactly practical.

CJacobs posted:This would actually be pretty easy. All you have to do is make a recipe where the required item is the one to break down, and the items you receive are its various crafting materials. Here, I'll give you an example: Also, while I appreciate the insight, when I said this was crazy I was more referring to the self realization of "I want to recycle wood and stone because  "I have no idea why I really like stone and log cabins filled with sleek titanium beds and hologram projectors. Maybe for how simple it is to get the parts compared to making everything out of space metals and crystals? Then again, the Glitch space ship has stonework ramparts on it so at least the game is accepting of this outlook

Yeah, for all the ease of modding some aspects there's a lot of stuff that seems hardcoded, at least currently. I'm hoping they'll open things up a bit more, which they seem to be doing. For example, the only way to place/remove blocks from a script at the moment is with projectiles but there's lua commands for placing and damaging blocks coming in the next patch.

Vib Rib posted:I actually feel this was handled very well. The guy complains about how his opinions are being forced into line and the response is just "You don't have to change your opinions, just keep them to yourself. This isn't the place for that. This is the place for video games." Instead of trying to challenge his opinions or explain why he's wrong they take the much easier lateral route (that I wish so many others would) of just telling him to take it somewhere else. Chucklefish's General Forum is not the place to debate feminism. Agreed. That being said, I do love his that his defense is either the "I'm too stupid to read" gambit or possibly the "I reject your reality and substitute my own" reversal. Audacious, but not terribly effective.

It would be neat to have the ability to be able to craft your race's specific blocks and furniture, because it's annoying breaking down an Apex Lab or Avian Temple for their bricks. Then again, it is fun looting and pillaging those settlements, so I dunno.

The dude with the pig avatar in this thread made a great mod called "homesick" that lets you craft all that stuff with easy to get material like cobblestone, wood and iron. I think you can find it on the starbound mod forum too. edit : here it is http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/homesick-over-80-diverse-building-blocks-now-craftable-from-the-start.44722/ Kly fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Dec 19, 2013 |

Yah, it'd be nice if it was in vanilla. At least let you craft race specific blocks/furniture/decorations that they use in racial dungeons and towns and then collect blueprints for other races like the food and armor.

That means there's a 93% chance of getting an inferior one which is infuriating if you're on a bad luck streak.

It seriously made me want to add in a superiorbrain.recipe that takes like 50 inferiors or something and mashes them into a superior brain.

Take a trip to a Threat 1 world in the Alpha Sector, so your brain extractor oneshots most things. It's where I got my superior brain, and not needing to wear down enemies as much or at all helps speed up your odds.

Then again, it is fun looting and pillaging those settlements, so I dunno. That said, I do have plans for expanding the scope of the mod. I want to incorporate almost all racial and advanced furnitures, but I also want to leave out a few things that you'd only be able to get from dungeons, so that there's some decorative bonus for exploring those, like looting the huge avian wall statues and the like. The main questions that remain are how the slightly more generic recipes should get divided (for instance, a lot of the "Apex" stuff is really just modern/light-future stuff that's generic enough to go to anyone, like the default paneling in the spaceship), and how to disperse the recipes. After all, I don't want non-Glitch to never be able to make Glitch furniture, but the question becomes how best to distribute it. I mean, maybe each race crafts their own starter recipe book, so they can trade them with friends? Play with an Avian and ask him to teach you the secrets of Avian furniture? It's just decoration so I don't want to make it a huge hurdle, but I want there to be at least some discrepancy between types. I could theoretically also add Or if I don't want it to be [solely] player-craftable, I could add the books to certain merchant loot tables, once I figure those out. The new merge methods will hopefully make that possible without interfering with other things, so maybe visiting an Avian town will let you make the furniture yourself, instead of just grabbing it all when you get there. Especially since, in the near future, they won't look too kindly upon that. Lots of details remain, but honestly at this point I'm still just slogging through all the furnitures (there's like 1000+, easily) to figure out what should be craftable, what race gets what, and what the recipes should all be. It's gonna be a long road. With the bricks and materials, I only had like 80 things I needed to work with.

Vib Rib posted:I'm working on a mod for this. I really dig the mod, the only small complaint I have is that all the new blocks really clutter up the crafting table list. The crafting decorations doesn't matter all that much to me since the 3D printer seems to work fine for all that kind of stuff, but if you do add in crafting for that I'd like to be able to craft any of the junk that appears in towns of your race and have blueprints be purchasable from stores in those towns like you mentioned. Maybe make crafting of the dungeon items use higher tier ore or something.
