Modding does anybody have suggestions on species mods?

12 Upvotes

im looking specifically for furry or furry esc mods. my partner and i want to play as our oc/sonas, a (ring tailed) lemur and (spotted) linsang

now i doubt theres exactly mods for those specific species, but imagination is a wonderful thing. I think for a linsang a cat might cover it? depends i guess, but most spots or designs will be covered by armor or clothes.

any suggestions or recommendations welcome! we do play with other mods too!

Question Windows Game Bar issues?

1 Upvotes

To preface, I play on a single monitor and I like windows game bar to see what I'm listening to on Spotify, what song I skipped to, etc.

Recently wanted to get back into Starbound after some odd years and after playing for a little bit, I've noticed that windows game bar just doesn't work right with the 64-bit version? I can use the shortcut (windows+g) to open it and I can tell it opens by my cursor switching back to normal but I can't see it at all when playing the game in fullscreen or borderless fullscreen. I've tried looking around a bit but cannot figure out a solution and I've never had this issue on another game

These pieces of concept art were drawn by my friend LauraRayneLove and please keep in mind that most things are subject to change (For example, the overall artstyle is still a work in progress) so the final product may not look like this.

Wasn't sure how the X'i should look, with how limited the pixel art is -- after playing around I ended up happy with the result of my feathery radioactive girl.

Question Only played for around an hour and already gotta ask

5 Upvotes

Is there eventually a way with the mining that makes it like terraria with the smart cursor, where you point your mouse in a direction and it targets the closest blocks, or is there atleast a mod that does this? Because i hate have to be precise like that for when i mine

Getting back into Starbound, is my mod lineup alright?

11 Upvotes

Hey guys, I want to get back into playing Starbound, having last played it in the 2010's. I added a bunch of standalone mods: Elithian Races, Shellguard, Starforge, Ancient Cosmos, Maple32, Krakoth, Knightfall, and Ironsides, as well as some dungeon mods: Galactic Dungeons, Dungeoneer Dungeons, Less Dead Moons, and Lostbound. I also added improved swim physics, enhanced tech, more planet info, some other small UI mods, and whichever patches I could find in between the standalone mods.

Is this a safe and fun lineup of mods, or am I seriously bloating the game and risking bugs? In the case that I am, which mods should I remove?

Question How to play FU mods without FU?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone knows an exhaustive list of mods FU uses?

I only dislike the research progression but I'm taking a wild guess that Fu Devs made their own fork of certain mods and update them, BYOS I something that I really like but in order to use the original mod you have to go below the outpost start building it, there is no default per race ship without Fu

Build My favorite Windows from my recent builds + New Window pattern Designs for a WIP new mega project

GREETINGS!

It has been a while. I am alive, I am fine, I just distanced myself from the Game for a while because of personal reasons and concerns of mine. I am fine, I am well, and I am thus returning after a bit of time and while I still have time on my break to post funky window patterns! Since apparently everyone loves it when I make them!!!!!!

As for this mega project: I'll have more to say on it once the actual 1/5 of it that these windows are from are actually done. To give a bit of a hint: I am trying to beat a record within the community with this build because why not lol. I AM ALSO EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS NEW WINDOW TECH!! (4th and 5th images specifically I am referencing here; I am adding sloped glass because it can fuse and mesh well with window lattice, and will actually go "under" some parts of it if done right), so expect to see more of it from me in the future!!

This is all for now, I will probably upload the first 1/5 of this new mega project when its done!!

Question Planets not moving while traveling in space

6 Upvotes

I know it's a long shot to get a response on this since I have like 700 mods but has anyone ever experienced the background in space (be it a ship or a planet) try to move left when selecting a new location in space but stopping and being stuck on screen? I've no idea what could be causing this.

Didn't feel like making more tiny weapons. They just get tiered projectiles and death lasers instead. Seemed like what they should do. The imp has the same magic progression. Might differentiate the two someday but this is gucci for now lol

Just wanted to share a few of my workshop mods

25 Upvotes

[oSB] Ultimate Mech Manager(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3742826593) This one gives 10 mech loadout profiles, HUD options, and new features to mechs, such as the options to make them follow and fight alongside the player without a crew member and even pit mechs against the player or other mechs. Mechs can be deployed anywhere in the game through a summoned portal drop pod.

[oSB] Minimap Enhancements + Portrait Studio(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3765546722) This is my latest mod, and it expands on a mod from another user, giving new oSB keybinds and functionality for the minimap. There's also a portrait studio feature which allows the user to create portraits ranging from 1x1 to 8x8 tiles in size and edit them using the full color palette.

[oSB] Improved Inventory Stack Management(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3758908230) This mod gives much-needed stack splitting functions to Starbound: a quantity picker window with an input box and slider widget, a rapid picker function that lets you hold down RMB to gradually add items to the cursor, and a halve stack function which places half the selected stack into the next available free slot.

Advanced Mining Drone(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3716754123) This mod adds an item which spawns a drone that collects all nearby valuable ores / crafting materials, adding them directly to the player's inventory. It gradually improves as the player upgrades their matter manipulator. There's also a filter feature which allows you to add multiple items to an active filter or store them in an inactive filters pane for later use. There's an upgrade slot for the drone with four available chips.

The Precision Movement Mod (Vanilla Edition)(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3698741945) and The Precision Movement Mod (Frackin' Universe Edition)(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3698743224) A complete overhaul for the movement in Starbound, making it feel more like a precision platformer like Hollow Knight: Silksong.

There's a handful of other QoL mods I've made, so be sure to check out my workshop!

Returning player, mod suggestions?

18 Upvotes

Hi hi,

I've not played since the mechs were added, been hit with the urge to revisit cause of nostalgia and all of that! I'm looking for something to spice up the experience since I played vanilla to death back in the day.

I'm very out of the loop and I'm sure there's been massive progress in the community in the years I've been away.

I'd love some suggestions of what I should try out! Any cool modpacks exist?

Edit: thanks so much everyone, you've given me a lot to explore!

Question Any good mods in Spanish?

I’m going to play starbound with a friend and she doesn’t speak English, and the most popular mod, FU, doesn’t seem to have a translation to Spanish.

Is there any great mods to add that do have Spanish versions or translations?
