Best bet is probably to take a look at official forums & reddit for recent threads about mods. Everyone knows mod authors are huge peacocks, they'll make sure to let everyone in the world know when they make an update. You may also be able to sort mods in the official site by date updated? That should help if possible.

Hey! I work for Chucklefish. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Unfortunately I'm not going to be too helpful regarding starbound stuff as I'm an artist on the new team (making the pirate game) but we all share the same space.

Edit: in regards to some of the earlier posts. Most of the starbound team has been dealing with the stress of moving to another country (and for some, the other side of the world), waiting impatiently for news on visas, and trying to find accommodation before they arrived. After what seems like an eternity of dealing with beuracracy, radio silence and red tape, everyone is here now, and as of Friday everyone is set up with a computer and a workstation. Things will pick up development wise, work is going to pick up much faster now.

Supernorn posted:

I would love for the Starbound community to have a serious week of Something Awful zero-tolerance banhammer rules to weed out the toxic people that appear to poo poo up every single news thread. I feel that it's not so much that the community is bad, it's just the vocal minority make everyone else not want to participate.

Supernorn posted:

I want to make this my avatar on the Starbound forums.


Supernorn posted:

It really takes zero effort to look at the website and see the daily news updates. That would be the first thing I'd do if I wanted to check up on a game in development, but maybe that's just me expecting too much out of people. There's only so much we can do.

Supernorn posted:

Not too concerned with those reviews honestly, there'll be plenty of reviews from people without a hate-boner for the company. The top review spirals endlessly into an insane conspiracy theory laden rant about getting banned from the steam forums. It's quite good.

Supernorn posted:

We're working on it. I think a lot of the actual complaints (i.e not endless, eternal whining about nothing) about the game are shared, we just haven't got around to fixing everything yet. When it hits, the next stable build should be night and day to the current one.

Supernorn posted:

Its been ten months, but it's amusing that it seems to inflate by a year in people's perception every month or so.

Supernorn posted:

I mean, a normal person could literally see the progress on the website and test it themselves every day if they didn't believe it was happening. But on the other hand, it's way less effort to insult the developers and angrily poo poo post in the thread.

So obviously, you can see the conundrum here.

Supernorn posted:

I was posting updates and stuff, but yeah. Honestly, it takes like three seconds to type playstarbound.com into your internet browser, but even easier to endlessly post every day for months about a game you're trying to fool people into believing you're not interested in.

I'm going to have a mod section for cool and good (and goon) mods, the new thread will be up by the end of the day most likely

it might be kind of sparse since we don't have a ton of images from the new version yet and mods aren't updated yet but we'll slowly fill it in

I'm looking up mods and this one lets you skip to after getting the core fragments in case you want to do that.

Also a few other things that should work for the new stable in case you want to do that too
Mounts
Craft furniture and racial blocks/furniture
More decorative blocks (mostly from ores)
Ore-yielding farmable plants
Crew mod for populating ship and neat features
More bodyparts for random monster pools
Bandit masks and neckerchiefs for your fashion needs
Bees, in case you're loving stupid and liked Forestry for Minecraft
Healing potions as upgrades to bandages
Inter-chest auto-sorter for quick easy storage and ender-chest-like capabilities
New pets and monsters
Random systems that support all biomes/planet types
lol what about a mod that makes the game worth playing haha it's a joke link ;)
Most of these were made for the unstable versions of the update so I can't guarantee they'll all be fully compatible, but these links will still take you to the right place once they do update (if necessary)


You guys don't like mounts I guess, huh

e: I don't know if sugarcane is still broken but if it is, this should fix it.

Ore glows
Ore is labeled for easy recognition
Foods have better description of their effects

Awesome post. Sugarcane isn't "broken", per se, it's just that the item it drops is sugar which I guess isn't edible on its own, unlike most crops. This seems to give you an item that you can actually eat, or craft into sugar for baking/etc. Which is a good idea, it's dumb that you break a sugarcane and it turns into refined white sugar.

These weren't done in 24 hours.
Modding is absolutely Starbound's best hope though, even if for some reason you're in love with the game how it is now, modders are amazing.

The one thing in this game I can't really be mad at is how easy and expansive the modding is, even moreso now that they've added item scripting and stuff.

Well, when you have 20,000+ modders against CFs 3 coders, i would drat well hope the modders can come up with more content combined. Otherwise that would be just sad. Or this would be Terraria. So yeah, it would just be sad.

I made a few mods when this came out, mostly decorative block crafting and turning plant matter into fuel (not as necessary now, obviously). Is worldgen easy to toy with?

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

Seriously it took like a half an hour for me to get the game to successfully launch last night and even after that it hung forever the first time a dialog or inventory window popped up. My computer is pretty old these days but it ran Crysis at stupidly high settings, what the gently caress is wrong with Chucklefish's programmers?

Is the regular or OpenGL version generally more stable? I was switching off but I think it was the OpenGL one that finally worked to the point where it was mostly playable.

I hope the butthurt avatar is secretly being bought by Tiy. Then the circle is complete! And apparently my shitposting efforts have been insufficient to warrant my own avatar, need to step up my game and learn from the pros in this thread.

The fact is, with a few exceptions you sucked any fun out of me making GBS threads here. I wasn't required to. I'm a goon that just happens to be contributing to a thread that I enjoy making GBS threads in. You can't really expect me to take this poo poo seriously when you shits are just making GBS threads utter poo poo towards me, the lovely game or any lovely shits towards a poo poo. So I'm going to poo poo out and you shits can continue making GBS threads. lovely Shitsmas!

Oh wait there was an update so I guess a year of thick and fast silence was worth it. I hope some good mods come out now at least...
