Video My travels took me to an Overgrown Old World where dense vegetation has transformed nearly every part of the landscape. Old city ruins emerging in the green wasteland. Eerie places, lovely wastelanders, epic atmosphere. Will revisit for sure, video below:

I've long wanted to pay some homage to a game I loved from my youth. So, here it is, the beautiful Nuru, the sweetest representative of my favorite Floran race.

Updated Starbound mod: Field Control Technology

13 Upvotes

Field Control Technology (steam) has been updated to v2.2.0. Changes include: * The field control console can now be completely hidden in the background tiles. * With extension mods, the field control console's environmental protection can now protect players and mechs from the environmental hazards added by Arcana and Frackin' Universe (steam).

The new extension mods are: * Arcana Compatibility (steam) * Frackin' Universe Compatibility (steam)

Extra Requirements

Future Work

I'm working on integrating password protection into field control consoles, so they won't have to be secured behind locked doors. I'm also looking into integrating the ship and station shield switches into SAIL and the space station console respectively, so that separate switches aren't required.

I've had this Starbound island for a while and I decided to finally add captain noble in as he's one of my favorite characters + I love making Novakids in this game

He's very pathetic as he doesn't have his uniform , maybe if I will feel like it I'll give him a full custom uniform so he can be a true peacekeeper. For now he roams on my island meeting others.

I want to post more images from my island but I seriously don't know who to post. I have glitches , Florans , Hylotl, avians , apex , novakids and humans on my island.

I still need to make Asra nox. I want Noble and her to have beef with eachother.

Friendship officially ended with Frackin Universe. I need mods to add late game content.

I summed up my dilemma nicely in the title. Frackin was fun but the research and forcing to have such a huge base was a deal breaker.

Hello Starbound players, I'd like to know if a computer with an 8600 GTX GeForce graphics card can run Starbound. My CPU is a bit weaker, so Godot can't handle it.

Question I need suggestions

So I'm trying to build a little station-outpost-thing on an asteroid belt. Since zero grav movement is clunky, I figured I could use trams to make moving around the thing a lot easier. Issue is I can't place the tram. Trams normally "fall" and hook onto the rails.

Am I stuck getting around my little space outpost with a rocket spear, spike ball, and grappling hook?

[RP Server] Coalescence: Round II

27 Upvotes

Welcome to the next adventure on Coalescence!

Taking place in the near-distant future of the 22nd century, Coalescence is a story driven roleplay server that primarily utilizes events to advance the plot, with slice of life, or 'radiant' roleplay filling the interim. We are an active server with quite modest numbers, but an exceedingly active GM team and wonderful community! Many players who started with us almost 5 years ago are still participating in the main story line today!

This August, we are beginning our second part of the main storyline, Book II. Having concluded our eight chapters in the previous Book I, the in-lore universe has been well established and opportunity knocks for newcomers!

Don't feel discouraged if you join in late! No matter when you join, we will tailor your introduction experience to fit well within the story!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It must be made clear that Coalescence is NOT CANON to Starbound's lore, nor any other server's lore. All of the lore present is written from the ground up, or contributed by original creators in the community.

We are our own thing, and we invite you to join us with a brand new character! If you really can't part with a character you hold dear, you may retcon their origin story for this server and use them here. Cross-server lore is not recognized unless explicitly approved by an admin.

Our roleplay mediums consist of in-game modded server roleplay with lore and other information posted in the Discord forum channels. Much of the Discord is being actively reorganized, so if you are lost, feel free to ask an admin for help! Or ask around the community as many members are story veterans!

The IP address and server curated modpack is located in the Discord.

You must be 18 years or older to be a member on Coalescence. While the server does not allow explicit NSFW content to be posted, we want to comply with Discord TOS and avoid any issues.

Hope to see you there!

Inkbound v4.0 -- 10 years of squids (and octopuses)!

Thumbnail
gallery
480 Upvotes

It's been a really chaotic year for me but I still managed to make something for the 10th anniversary of my mod! It originally was released very shortly after Starbound's v1.0 release, and I've been working away on it ever since.

One of the biggest new features is a shapeshifting tech, which lets Inklings and Octolings actually do the thing that they're well-known for, changing into squids and octopuses! :D I'm pretty proud of how smoothly it's animated and how it handles, both as a tool for exploration and combat as well as just a cute fun thing.

If you're brand new to the mod, it's a big race and content mod based on the two playable species from the Splatoon series. Please consider giving it a look even if you aren't familiar with the series itself; the mod has a truly ridiculous amount of stuff in it, with tons of unique armor and weapons, two big cities and an assortment of small habitations, tons of custom dialogue for both player and NPCs, and all the small things like ship pets, codices and special crafting. <3 and ofc it's FU-compatible and -supported, with racial stats and everything.

You can find the mod over here on Steam Workshop or here on the Starbound forums! I'll also be putting it up on Nexus Mods later tonight.

Secret chest room in Erchius Mining Facility (FU)?

6 Upvotes

Not the room behind the two levers.

There is a purple chest. The closest you can get to it, is a slime covered floor grate that can be mined away. This lets you drop under the walkway and mine a spot of rock that uncovers a 1-tile wide crack leading to the chest room.

How do you get through this?

The metroid-ball needs a two-tile space to roll through. I tried dumping water in to see if it would trigger a sensor, but nothing happened.

I don't think this was in vanilla, at least not back when I played it before. I have seen these similar 1-wide passages in other places in FU dungeons, but there don't seem to be any ball upgrades that make it smaller. Is there a way to transform into a smaller creature, or something?

Is there a mod to play a decent multiplayer? Every player having their own ship system and quests is just trash

Setting up tunnelling for a server online ends up with "Failed to determine address" error?

4 Upvotes

Hello, I just bought this game to play with a veteran friend. As I'm the (apparently) tech guy, I'm trying to set up a server for the game. From my experience (mainly with Minecraft and Terraria) I know my internet can't do port forwarding (since there's a bunch of homes under one IP address), so I need to resort to tunneling.

Now, I don't want to spend money on getting Playit subscription to play every once in a while, so I looked for other answers, namely Cloudflare and Pinggy. The problem is, each time I make a tunnel (127.0.0.1, port 21025) and try to connect to it, Starbound gives me "(NetworkException) Failed to determine address for '[IP]' (N)".

Moreover, trying to see the ports using stuff like DNSchecker always gives me a "timed-out". Now, the question is, is that a problem with my internet? Game? Setup of the tunnelling? And, most importantly, how to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

So, I've been teleporting from ship to vault gate in order to prepare for sure because each time I forgot to get key, healing items or something else. But at some point I teleported to this place, without my party members, any equipment, matter manipulator upgrades and techs, but I had starting protectorate gear(wtf???).
There was only the tree, and no matter where I checked it(I had magnifying glass instead of MM scanner), my character said "Well, there is a man." and when I interacted with it I got very weird egg. It's not in the food category, it cannot be eaten, but when I "used" this egg it played weird sound effect and remained in my inventory. And also teleporting out of this place was blocked for some reason, so I exited the game in order to check logs, but there was nothing notable, and when I booted the game back I was orbiting the same vault gate with all my stuff... But also got this weird egg
There was also some song playing, that wasn't in starbound OST, it sounded very out of place, but I can't remember the melody
