I'm currently taking a look at Starbound's huge assets folder
My goal is to replace the shit monsters/music/items/anything with god-tier material from other games in an attempt to make Starbound great.
Any suggestion?
Austin Davis
>no booru Shame. You forgot.
Burn it to the ground and start from scratch. More feasibly, rip Metroid and Castlevania assets for blocks and furniture.
Dylan Ward
There's a castlevania mod that already does that. Perhaps I could use those items as replacers instead of additions.
I plan to take a look at Demon Crest, Castlevania, Metroid, Metal Slug and Mega Man's assets. The main problem with Starbound is proc-gen monsters and character/npc animations. Thanks to the blood mod I replaced the blue popping animation with a small blood explosion. It still sucks, but it's not as terrible as before.
After seeing the removed intro art I thought about something.
Here's a suggestion for a mod. Is it possible to make decent intros for each race in the game? possibly for the popular custom races as well. That way, if you select skip intro mission you just get an intro scene like the original artists intended. I can help with sketching. Is there any pixel artists lurking here?
Evan Rivera
Some guy already mentioned it, but toss some Metroid niggas in there
Jason Bennett
So far all I'll do is replace some monsters and hope for the best.
If there was a tool to quickly create weapons or items I would work on that too. That's a great idea. Too bad I can't draw.
Xavier Miller
Doing god's work user, hope it all goes well
Charles Murphy
Leave the drawing to me user ;) . All that I need is somebodies who can write decent intros, a pixel artist(s)(I can make pixel art, but expect it minimum 6 months from now. Studies are hectic.) and somebody who can program it into a mod.

>Intro shows a beautiful Hylotl floating city "Beauty. Perfection. Peace." >Changes into a Hylotl qt taking care of a cherry tree. "Empathy compels the Hylotl to seek the salvation of all living creatures." "This is their pursuit: a perfect world." >Show Floran shadows with shiny eyes zerg rushing in the middle of the night "However, there are those who don't wish to be saved." "Sometimes, even such an advanced civilization..." >Show Hylotl city getting pillaged and eaten by the Flourins. "Has to learn that their perfect world makes no sense to nature. " >Show close up to Hylotl qt eyes with determined expression "Sometimes, even the enlightened have to acknowledge, that the only way to peace..." >Shows Hylotl qt in front of a spaceship. There are dead Florans and Hylotl on the ground. Post-battle scene. "Is war."
How would that look as an intro for the fishbutts?
Brandon Hernandez
Is this another Veeky Forums general where everybody who browses hates the game and the developer but is still playing it?
Ayden Rodriguez
I just want the lewd fish/flower people
Carter Thomas
I like it

Jack Robinson
I don't play the game, I just come here to shitpost and occasionally waifupost. I'm still on the fence on whether or not I want to get the game though
Kevin Garcia
All of /v/
Jaxson Johnson
Just pirate it and see how you like it.
Jonathan Sanders
They don't win. They manage to stop the florans just long enough to escape from their planet. That's what the pic should show.
They pretty much are a top-tier peaceful civ who gets put in their place by nature.
We may have the moral/cultural high ground, but when nature says "fuck you, I'm nature", you get bitchslapped.
Chase Powell
Do I put up with grinding this laggy piece of shit Miniknog mission even more, or just spawn in the boss drop?
Fucking retards that still cannot optimize a 2D pixel game
Jason Johnson
I'm ambivalent toward the devs, a little disappointed with where the game has ended up, but I can still do enough things with it that I'm enjoying myself, at least. It just kind of feels like there's holes where some interesting stuff used to be. But fuck, I already paid for the game. If I can still enjoy it, it doesn't make any sense to just stop playing it out of protest. Who the fuck's going to care?
Jordan Garcia
How is that mission lagging for you? It's just a bunch of buttons and puddles
Asher Thomas
FPS drop I mean, it's horrendous on my machine
Jason Stewart
How the fuck do I stop this from happening? ie: cant read the whole item bubble.
Oliver Morgan
are any sex mods working this build
Sebastian Smith
>This style of trousers are. >This style are. What? Is this correct?
Henry Williams
Sounds good. I like it. I haven't yet read the in game books so I'm not fully clued up to what goes on in the lore, just the basics. More suggestions?
Julian Martin
Trousers come in pairs.
Jacob Butler
Yeah but the word should be conjugated for style, not trousers. It's not talking about trousers in general, it's talking about that style.
These trousers are This style of trousers is
Joseph Wilson
Tiy's British, who knows what the fuck he thinks proper conjugation is.
You'd probably have to jump into the item descriptions in the code somewhere to fix it.
Adrian Reyes
You can't possibly ignore the conjugation. Trousers, in this sentence, could be ommited as "this style is used by Glitch nobles and..." But if you ommit style you get something weird. "THIS trousers are used by..." It just sounds wrong.
Elijah Ortiz
Because it's supposed to be THESE trousers, it's a plural noun (i think that's what they're called in english, not a native speaker, sorry)
Jackson Campbell
Oh wait you meant the fact the bubble gets cut off by the taskbar. Yeah there's no fixing that since there's no way to snap the dialog boxes to fit into the window. Best bet is just moving the inventory box until you can see the rest of the description. It's really only a singular if you preface it with "this pair of" as the "pair" becomes the new direct object of the sentence that the verb has to play with.
William Cruz
Yeah, we got those in my language as well, that's kinda what i meant, but you phrased it much better and on-the-point
Chase Ross
>It's really only a singular if you preface it with "this pair of" as the "pair" becomes the new direct object of the sentence that the verb has to play with. Wouldn't the same happen with "this style of trousers", then? Shouldn't it be considered singular?
Benjamin Baker
Except that trousers isn't the main word of the sentence. Like said.
What clearly happened is that they were going to write either "This style is popular" or "these trousers are popular" and changed their mind, went back to change it, then only finished the job half-way. So you get "This style of trousers are", which you can simplify down to "This style are", which is dumb and wrong. Even if you went your way, it'd be "This trousers are" which is still dumb and wrong.
Austin Lee
>If you fix it the game will shit itself anyways because it's poorly optimized >works on my machine :) >they wont fix it so why bother complaining
Anthony Morgan
Yes. The object that is being acted on, "this style", is what the verb should be reflecting. Trousers, the indirect object, only clarify the direct object.
Ethan Davis
Though, to be fair, "of trousers" would actually be "of trouser", since style is singular and the "of trouser" would be a descriptive instead.
Josiah Watson
This game is still active, right? I didn't play for a couple weeks and I'm thinking about coming back.
Adrian Gutierrez
Wait until Chucklefuck stops updating so hopefullt mods can bloom.
Zachary Butler
Do enemies have elemental weaknesses?
If not, what difference is there between fire and poison weapons other than the color of the DOT effect?
And as far as I can tell, shock/electric doesn't seem to have any secondary effect, just a different sprite.
Camden Butler
Electricity only adds DOT on groups. It's like how static electricity works.
Logan Hernandez
If we had elemental damages it would be great. We could add plenty of cool racial perks. Not sure whether we do or not, though.
Dylan Evans
>that feel when no good space marine/imperial guard armors yet
There's a great weapon mod out though, and the creator says he wants to do armor at some point so I'm still hopeful.
Asher Morales
I noticed the mod. Hoping they put in Dreadnought mechs and tanks.
Blake Lopez

I've only found them on surfaces of deserts.
Juan Young
what sword, protectorate?
it sucks
Elijah Young
>Fartcloud redecoration mission had me putting a Obey sign in her room
Worried.
Carter Gutierrez
They're literally everywhere. Just go explore for 30 minutes and you'll have enough again. The sword is bad, anyway. It's not a big deal.
Jacob Wilson
Anyone have the mod or even the gif from a few years ago when the game first went early access of a hologram futagirl?
It was orange and she airplaned her dick in a circle.
I remember the gif being posted all the time in the general back then.
Ayden Foster
ded
Jacob Barnes
Stupid question, why is it saying I don't have sufficient privileges to spawn items?
Daniel Ramirez
did you /admin beforehand? And are you planing offline or online?
Xavier Wilson
Offline. Upgrading my EPP ate my rare augment and I want it back.
James Scott
/admin worked. Thanks. Like I said, stupid question.
Landon Thomas
all good.
Just remember that all cheats need /admin to be used. And, ones like /fullbright continue even after /admin is disabled
Nolan Young
>played this game 2 or so years ago back when there were 100 difficulty levels and more of a sliding difficulty scale rather than tiers
>try to play 1.0
It's the same fucking game. Are you kidding me chucklefucks? IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GAME.
All they added were some shitty quests, the gameplay, the experience hasn't changed at all.
You burn through the required quests to unlock the highest tier planets and crafting stations.
Then you stop fucking playing because there's no point doing anything else.
Building is boring. Survival is virtually non-existent. Exploration is irrelevant because all planets are the same just different colors. "randomized monsters" is irrelevant because none of them are remotely memorable to begin with.
Tyler Long
And they cut content, content which people actually like, to shoehorn their idea of a plot in. >no more floran vs hylotl wars >no more USCM bunkers
Carson Gomez
But hey, Novakid towns are probably going to be in the next patch.
Cooper Collins
I wonder if they wanted to remove the USCM prisons but realized they were cutting too much content.
Bentley Ramirez
Holy shit this general is still alive? You people still willingly play this piece of shit? What appeal does Starbound even have now besides porn? Obviously fuck all content. You people should really stop this self torture and quit eating chucklefucks shit.
Blake Myers
>FU's lovecraftian quest
Holy shit how can one mod quest with no actual NPCs aside from enemies outwrite an ENTIRE GAME using only books and a bit of nicked actual-lovecraft for random tomes?
Aiden Bennett
>porn where
Dylan Lopez
Lore-based storytelling is good when applied correctly. It can build a world far better than straight-up exposition. It just requires a player who's willing to pay attention.
Benjamin Gonzalez
Nowhere
Kayden Bennett
Despair, mostly. There have been so many good mods and the game could easily be fixed.
It's almost outrageous that it doesn't get any better. But hey, Geode Race got updated.
Isaac Turner
Also
Lincoln Cox
>no more USCM bunkers WHAT
Those were my favorite places. I would always build in them. What the fuck? Why?
Isaac Baker
USCM may or may not exist in the lore anymore, considering that humanity got considerably revamped. There are still prisons and USCM inspect dialogue pieces, but it isn't clear what role it has in the world.
Grayson Young
>Mods will fix it I highly doubt that when it comes to Starbound. You can poilish a turd sqeaky clean but at the end of the day it's still a turd.
Cameron Turner
Mods during the first days managed to fix a lot of issues and make the game hella more interesting.
Sadly, they're outdated and Chucklefucks kept adding more pointless stuff. and removing what could have been cool.
The most outrageous of all things is that if they didn't even try to touch their own game it would have ben an improvement.
We would have metal slug/mega man techs and bosses, genetically engineered mounts, awesome transformations and mechs.... all lost.
Landon Lewis

Owen Sullivan
They probably figured out it was a reference to Aliens, god forbid there was a reference ingame besides penguins or Doctor Who.
Here's the current lineup of guns I've made for the modern armory mod goons are helping me make.
Liam Brown
>All of CS weapons. Noice. That's some quality stuff. Good job.
Isaiah Peterson
Now that you put it that way Starboubd maybe could have been a decent game. But I guess they had to fuck it up with that shoehorned space cadet story snd retarded as fuck final boss. What the fuck even is the final boss? At least try to make it resemble something like Terraria instead of a lazy mesh of tentacles. I guess fun and good idea's isn't Chucklefucks strong suit.
Nicholas Rogers
The only real question now is if Starbound will actually be patched into something decent. Or will it decent into a lazy game.
Isaac Martin
Essentially nobody, including the creator, thought that Terraria was going to get patches after 1.1
It turned out that the game's best years were yet to come, and that it'd receive mountains of quality content and QoL changes.
On the other hand, many triple A games stop being updated (even through DLC) long before a lot of essential flaws are worked out of the game. Fallout 4 would be a good recent example.
Basically it could go either way. I'm hoping for the best, but I'm preparing for the worst.
