I don't know. Either way it's an issue where you click the report button and let the guys in charge of that stuff deal with it.

Honestly the writing was in line with what you generally see in the rest of the game. Any "sex" is implied. It's not like she asks you get to get out your big ape dick and gently caress her. Furthermore it's a game with torture chambers, plant people who go on killing sprees, and various other actual horrible things that are portrayed in a cartoonish, non-serious fashion.

If it weren't for the word prostitute being in the files and the "sell my body," line you probably wouldn't have even noticed it.

I know it's easy to fault a guy who fantasizes about being a cat with a 20 foot cock but in this instance I think he's right, and if he's not then they'll tell him to move it. The goon national sport of "Look at how outraged I am! Do you see how much better of a person I am than these other people!" Isn't necessary. There's probably a kid in your town going without dinner tonight. Get outraged about that.

What if instead of your worthless counter outrage, you just loving stop? You're being a bit silly here, as though people can't care about multiple things at once.

The part that gets me isn't that people make weird freaky sex mods, it's that they implement it into the base version of whatever other mods they're making and don't provide a non-adult alternative. Like they can't even conceive of people wanting a alternate race or monster or model or whatever that doesn't have a prostitute version or a big floppy dick or whatever. Like they don't even understand that some people might want a neat alternate race without also being sexually attracted to it.

I think this is the root of most people's issues with stuff like this. (not so much the legit awful stuff like rape mods and etc.)

Like, there's nothing inherently wrong with prostitution, per se, but that's not really something that I'd want or care about in Starbound. It'd be nice to have a "clean" version that eschews that, is all.

People have weird fetishes and obsessions and they like to insert them into games that allow players to customize their games to suit their personalities and preferences. There are 2 things to remember about this:

• Sometimes these things will seem weird and scary to you, but you have to get over that because who cares.
• Sometimes it will be genuinely disconcerting and propagate damaging stereotypes and behaviors, and you have to report that to people who have power to remove them because that's best.

The end.

What I'm actually saying is that the inclusion of a relatively benign prostitute npc (especially in a western/space opera/samurai inspired environment) is not a big deal, and people being outraged about it mostly do so to demonstrate how "not creepy" they are. Yourself included.

This does demonstrate that requiring mods on the community to have lax licenses on repackaging and modification would be beneficial, because then people are free to make modpacks with "offensive" content removed, which is actually a productive solution.

I'm not defending the mod, personally, or the concept of adult mods existing; mainly because adult content modding does not need to exist but it does and it's not going away no matter how many capital letters you use in your post.

See, I did that, and Nexus still filled my front page and latest files section with tits and rear end because sometimes modders don't tag their poo poo properly and God Forbid they actually enforce anything against their precious modders*

The big issue with the prostitution aspect of the mod, in my eyes, is that it is not mentioned anywhere on the page, there is no warning about potential borderline NSFW content, and it comes very close to violating the mod guidelines, if not actually violating them. When there is a rule put in place to govern the type of content in these mods, the least you could do is warn of potentially offensive content in the mod.

So do you whiners get upset about the prostitutes in Baldur's Gate, Fallout or Mass Effect? This is probably the most benign and inoffensive implementation of a whore in any game that has them and YOU CAN REMOVE IT YOURSELF if you want. You guys will seriously bitch about the tiniest things you can. It's like being offended is your hobby.

edit; It should be noted in the mod description that hookers are included. That's it.

This is why I was going to handle it myself, but another moderator is already dealing with it.

I can go on about how creepy and stupid the 18+ mods are but y'know, it's whatever. People are going to be creepy and make hosed up mods on any video game that has open modding. The reason it was brought up though is because something that doesn't belong on the official mod repository is hidden in what seems like an a-ok race mod. The Starbound forums/mods are aimed to be PG-13. A prostitution mod just doesn't belong there.

Only on some planets. Also planets currently can only have a single type of weather so if it starts raining you are good, well unless it is acid rain. :)

No, they're a weather effect and a planet will either have them or it won't, there are plenty of planets out there that have no meteors. Try plopping down a flag to mark your beam in and circumnavigate a planet on foot before settling, it'll give you a chance to see if the planet has pain in the rear end weather, and you may find some handy features.

Planets seem to be able to have more than one weather effect, actually. The planet I live on has both normal rain and the pretty sparkle rain. It might simply be that the sparkle rain isn't catagorized as a weather effect though.

Not on every planet. It's a type of weather and every planet has one, maybe two types of weather. Try finding a planet with actual rain and you /should/ be good.

On one hand, there are so many cool things like this that I would love to try, but on the other hand, I HATE modding prerelease games that are still in testing. I basically stood away from Minecraft mods until this week when I discovered that the technic pack actually sets up a separate install for you and downloads everything with the click of a button. But I need a bigger ship and vanilla mining with a pick axe is boring as poo poo. :negative:

I don't think any of the premade enemies are in yet other than the robots you see in certain dungeons and the po. I've found what is most definitely the Virorb biome (it's that underground biome with the giant DNA everywhere) but didn't find any Virorbs. :sigh:
