Babe Magnet, do you have PMs? I'm making a custom Buttbot race mod at the request of IRC and I'd love to pick your brain on a few aspects. :v:

Yo, can you let me know which files you changed to get your stuff working? I'm looking at the elf mod, one of the ones that works with this version, and I just went through every single one of both mod's files to make sure they looked similar and my stuff's not loading. The only thing that's different is I have custom clothing in my mod.

One of the biggest changes in this version is that the file in interface/windowconfig is now mostly merged in with the .species file - the data that was in the interface file (like "HAIR STYLE", "SHIRT COLOUR", "PANTS COLOUR") is now on a new line in the .species file. The best thing you can do is exactly what you're doing, reverse engineering from the elf mod (which I did too). Pay very close attention to minor changes in player.config, universe_server.config, .species, and modinfo (make sure it's the correct version name).

edit: Worst case scenario, feel free to send it to me at aslfarko@gmail.com and I'll take a look at it, though if you'd rather it stay secret until done, I'm fine hashing it out here

Alright, I'll sweep back through and make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm about to upload the mod, so secrecy isn't a thing I'm worried about right now. I've been entirely transparent about my process anyway.

Nah, butt don't butt PMs, butt. I can answer questions here if you want, or swing by IRC I guess.

I've played enough SS13 to know that "Buttbot" and "Pick Your brain" are two phrases that never lead to beneficial changes.

For those of you sinking tons of hours into this already; any reason? With the character wipes I've been holding off until my character will be permanent. Is it just the kind of game you can consume within a week or two so the wipes don't matter? Do you plan on continuing to play after it exits beta?

People who are really into it seem to be messing around for a bit then modding to see what they can create with the engine.

Haha I've been told to base the sprites on the Buttbots from SS13, but it doesn't really fit the Starbound theme.

I'll ask here or if I see you in IRC. Waiting for the hotfix patch before I even start converting my mods to the new merge format.

Yep, that's what happens when a Ship wipe occurs.
Though it really ought to have just been a full wipe rather than universe/ship, because that's effectively what was done anyway.

Only the spergiest will do.
This thread has jumped 100 pages since I last read it so sorry if this is common knowledge by now, but you can edit the jump cost if you just wanna tool around looking at poo poo. Which I think is probably the best thing to be doing right now as opposed to sperging out on things that will be broken/wiped eventually. It's in assets/interface/cockpit/cockpit.config specifically:
code:
  "interSystemFuelcost" : 1,
  "intraSystemFuelcost" : 1,
I think it's 200/5 normally. I just thought I'd post this because it's a hell of a lot easier than editing things to provide fuel and/or putting a mod to that effect.

Sitting in a chair pauses hunger, or at least they said it would before the beta.

I don't usually go all "my immersion!!!" but the "warp to home" button seems a bit off. How do you fluff-justify being able to warp to your one home planet for free but every other planet costs up to 200 fuel?

If they change it to towing a planet or at least small moon to your spaceship and lugging it around as you explore space, I'd be totally on board though.
It's because :techno: now shut up about immersion in a game with eye-ball trees and sky pirates

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
Anyone else noticed there being duplicate, unstackable items? I've got stacks of two different Old Chests, two different Avesmingo seeds, two different rice seeds, etc.

On the plus side, I found a planet that was half forest, half eyeball-trees. The eyeball parts had broken, ruined Glitch walls scattered throughout, along with the occasional broken tower filled with books and a cultist looking guy with an eyeball sword, wearing a pair of red and black bat wings which one eventually dropped. 'Terrifying Wings'. Hope there's more styles of wings around, they look neat.

Have not noticed that yet, but might explain why some people get loot by placing those chests on their ship and others don't. My guess is only one of those generates loot.

I've only had that happen while looting steel platforms from Apex buildings so far. As well as cobblestone, but that seems that it is ebcause of mining different kinds of stone, despite than when placed always go for the default look.

I've been using Snow blocks as my "I want a wall/bridge/roof here but then I want to tear it down again" block and there's at least three different stacks of indistinguishable snow in my inventory that won't merge. :(

Nuke dirt stacks liberally. Keep one with several hundred blocks in it handy for emergencies and trashcan the rest; wherever you go will invariably give you tons more utility stacks to work with.

So I made a new character and I'm trying to get the customizable ship mod to work. It was updated today, so I figured it should work. When I load it, it says that it's for Angered Koala where the version of Starbound is Angry Koala. I change it in the modinfo to Angry Koala and the game hangs on the chucklefish logo. Anyone got an idea how to fix that?

Edit: Also, would it kill them to make the version names more distinct? It really gets a bit confusing.

The link on the mod website appears to be pointing to the old version. It seems to work fine if you use this link though:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66467878/FCSModV1.0.6AK.zip

Edit: The author made a typo in the mod's .modinfo file that prevents the game from starting up, but changing "Angered Koala" into "Angry Koala" fixes it.

The "replace" backpack is the airtank that lets you walk around on asteroids and moons with impunity. There's a bunch of placeholder strings in this release, I guess. But if you filter the crafting list for "airtank", "replace" is the only thing that shows up.

Too bad it's a backpack and replaces the lantern, though.
Some placeholders have been replaced, though. My new Glitch actually said things about some bushes.

Looks like any seeds you get from plants are the ones that grow instantly, and the other "extra" seeds you can get from them in a different stack start off as saplings and are currently not wanting to grow for me. :argh:

Edit: actually, they are growing, just very slowly.
