Just got the game, and I have to ask- are there any good 40K mods for this around? I can't seem to find any. I got it from GoG, so I doubt I'd be able to use Steam Workshop with it.

So! Now that 1.0 is finally out and they're not going to retroactively gently caress anything anymore, I've been working towards getting my happy little rock people up to speed. I've been working on a new ship, because I was really disappointed in the old one. It was just a giant ugly diamond shape with a single square room. Not very exciting.

Anyway, here's a work in progress picture of the new one. I wanted something compact, but still with enough room to live in, and I settled on the idea of "Space Camper." Given that they're highly nomadic and not too great with machinery, I figured they'd gravitate towards something that's not too flashy but easy to fix and customize, with a lot of storage space.

The yellow spots are for the thrusters, and the purple spot is where the teleporter will go. It's sunken into the floor because having a bump to walk over in your ship like that bothers me for some reason. You can actually get out onto the roof through that gap in the top, and jump around or put out some deck chairs or whatever. There's an invisible box at the edges of the rails, though, so you can't accidentally space yourself. The open top actually ties into my upgrade plan, too. Instead of having the camper get larger, I thought it would be cool to have a bunch of different ships join your caravan that you could get to from the roof by grav rail or something. I always liked fleets better than big ships anyway.

It's still rough in spots, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. What do you think?

Could you make a version of this that replaces the Human ships with the Space Campers, please? It sounds like a really cool idea, but I'm a space-racist :v:

I installed a mod which makes every augment act like it's also Light of its rank for exactly this reason.

Anyone have a name for this mod?

Decided to actually make that mod I was talking about a couple of days ago, added a wire input to the colony deed so you can just wire all of them up to a button and then run around collecting rent.

Could you upload this to Mediafire or something? I've only got the GoG version of Starbound.

So, uh, do we need any other mods to play the bugboys? Because insect races are cool, and I might actually reinstall Starbound to play one of them.

Are there any good mods that give each race their own special abilities? Because I admit, I kind of like the game in small doses now and then, and if Chuckefucks won't do what's necessary, I'm hoping the community would.
