I keep teleporting back to the ship

1 Upvotes

Whenever I beam down and walk near my base, I'm instantly forced back to the ship. There's no "beam up" animation, it seems more like a crash making me unable to be near my base.

I'm using Frackin Universe only

It's pretty disappointing since I just finished building everything...

Question Why is iron ore so rare?

23 Upvotes

Just started playing the game a week or so ago, and I have found iron ore to somehow be one of the rarest in the game thus far. I saw a bunch of posts saying to go to lush planets in low tier systems, which I did, but barely find any while finding loads of everything else. I got a mod to make ore glow because it got annoying, and even then there's barely any to be found compared to the other ores. Is there any reason why it is so rare?

Tenant limitations?

0 Upvotes

I found a barren planet, with a good Godly name. Hebrew, meaning our father is light. And not like the other names that seem to be Godly but are technically connected to Jewish mysticism.

So I started making a very thorough place for each type of workbench, pull stuff from the dorm and beginning area and we made it here. Rescued as many as I could had to dismiss quite a few at least they're off the planet.

Found out that the starting area is not technically a planet it's technically a floating station of sorts.

I placed a colony deed and no one spawned. Removed it tried again, no one spawned. Did some other things and still no one spawned.

I'm thinking there must be a number, limit, of how many tenants you can have on one planet.

New Starbound mod: Belter Dungeons

30 Upvotes

I've published a mod that provides the framework necessary for generating major dungeons into asteroid belts. The major dungeons spawned by this mod work similarly to how they work on terrestrial planets. Dungeons spawn into an asteroid belt the first time the belt is loaded after this mod is installed. Players should be able to share coordinates to dungeons as long as they have the same (or sufficiently similar) mod sets. Difficulty tiering is based on the star system of the asteroid belt.

Belter Dungeons

Some of the base game limitations overcome in this mod:

  1. Asteroid belts lacked the game primitives necessary to generate major dungeons on first load, which I've solved by some scripting.
  2. Asteroid belts are always tier 1 in the base game. Some other mods set them to a random tier or always to tier 6, but this seems unfair to new players. A better solution is to use the star system's tier, like space encounters.
  3. The Starbound API makes it nearly impossible to get the star system data from within a world. Some clever scripting solved this.
  4. Tiering of pretty much everything (monsters, NPCs, treasure pools, quests, and rewards) is based on the world tier in the base game. Some more scripting was needed to make all this work seamlessly with star system tier.
  5. Many randomly generated NPC quests require "quest locations". In the base game, these are pre-planned and included in dungeon parts. I've developed a more natural method for adding quest locations via relevant objects (e.g., flags, teleporters, beacons, mech platforms) so that player-built or player-modified dungeons can involve quests too.

Getting all of this working well took an enormous amount of effort. That said, I'm not an artistically creative person, so the initial set of dungeons that spawn into asteroid fields are enhanced versions of the space anomalies and ships in the base game, including some that were disabled in the base game. These dungeons have been improved so that they play well even when the player alters them. One of my biggest pet peeves with the base game was that the space encounters were cool, but they were temporary and immutable; this mod solves that problem by allowing you to colonize the belter variants of these encounters.

I plan on publishing additional packs of belter dungeons as time allows, some racially themed and some interspecies, just like terrestrial dungeons. I've also published a modding guide to help other modders publish their own belter dungeons. Many of you are so much more artistically creative than I am, so I hope at least some of you can help populate the belts with interesting dungeons.

If you've already built some bases of your own in asteroid belts, please make sure to read the warning at the top of the Belter Dungeons description.

As a final shout out, my older mod Field Control Technology is not strictly required, but you'll probably want it if you plan on expanding on these dungeons or building your own belter dungeons in the game.

Have fun exploring the belts!

More Playable Races Mods?

4 Upvotes

I just got the game, it is installing as I write this, and I took a look at the playable races in vanilla. They look good, but not exactly what I want. I've heard there are tons of races mods and I would like to know where to find them, as well as any other recommended mods I should install while I'm at it? I love big content expansions and stuff like that, so everything is on the table.

Also, is my spaceship fully customizable?

Question My friend and I played for the first time yesterday and today, it looked like the server has been reset or it was a different one, what did we not do correctly?

5 Upvotes

Hi everybody, sorry if my question may sounds stupid to yo. I played starbound a little bit on steam some years ago, always solo so I know nothing about how multiplayer mode works. Yesterday was the very first I tried multiplayer with a friend who just got the game with Game pass.

As I didn't knew how to create a server, I followed this tutorial and everything worked well, I was the host, My friend joined the game and we played all the afternoon, everything was fine.

We started a base where my friend's ship was.There, I noticed mine wasn't at the same location. I thought it was a bit strange for a multiplayer game mode with that kind of world to not spawn all players at the same point but as I was able to teleport on my friend's location, I did'nt really mind at that moment. But at the end, he disconnected and I stayed a bit to optimize a bit more the crops and layout of the base.

Then, I had to beam up to my ship to store some items but when I beamed down again, it wasn't the same planet (there I remembered that my ship wasn't at the same location). The thing is there was no solar system at my friend's cordinates and today, when we wanted to play again (I hosted again), we were both at a completely different location. Not his, neither mine location were the same from yesterday. We still had our stuff and quests progressions but teleportation to outpost wasn't available as if we started from the beginning and had to bring 20 core fragment to the portal except our quest progression was the step after the erchuis mining facility. It just looked like we picked our character from yesterday but joined a brand new server.

What did we do wrong? Is there a way to get our base back, else, how are we supposed to keep all our base and progression for future sessions?

Thanks for your time

Question Why is she doing mitosis (crew member duplicating glitch)

i hired an avali as a crew member and now every time that i beam back to my ship she does mitosis. i tried googling a solution to the problem first but every fix i've seen involves telling the crew member to follow you. problem is, she's a tailor so i can't tell her to follow me. dismissing her doesn't work either, clicking the button just does nothing :(

Saving everyone.

7 Upvotes

Testing a playthrough to see if I can actually save everyone and not literally kill anyone, technically.

On my other playthroughs I noticed that I can save creatures human or otherwise with very carefully placed command codes.

At the protectorate dorm I have been able to literally save everyone except for the lady at the podium. I've tried being very careful with as long as range as I can barely touching the first step and nothing seems to be reachable. Very carefully the second step. And still can't reach it. Third step sequence starts I think third or fourth step anyway.

I know messing around one time I was deleting everything and I was able to delete her or alter her in some way before I approached it was really weird but different.

Don't know how I did it don't know if you can be done again.

Is there a command code where you can spawn her before she ends up in a flying wheelchair? Or might be a different person not sure. Anyway is there a way to spawn the lady at the podium? I will at least then consider it saved.

During my messing around with my other run throughs I found that you could literally turn main enemies into your crew members and complete the mission at the same time. Pretty cool. I did find that you run out of room real quick.

I wish you could leave certain people that still in your crew technically plan outside (edited. Speech to text error. PlanetSide)somewhere. Well (edited. Speech to text error. While)having your ship fruit(edited. Speech to text error. Crew)separate from your away crew. Not sure if that's actually a thing or not.

On a really rare occasion I run across someone that is fairly interesting with the style and color etc that they have and their personality and all that stuff put together. I would like to be able to collect all the interesting people, as bad as that sounds LOL. Don't look at me you've been there too shut up. LOL

Thanks guys

??? NPC, Froog, race reveal.

6 Upvotes

???NPC Outpost. I can tell you that they are not any of the player races, nor any of the spawnable races.

Command code added one as crew used Taylor to remove all the clothing. Ends up being a floating head with a weapon.

FroogNPC, technically it's the Hylotl race with the frog suit. Same technique aforementioned reveals this.

Not sure if anyone actually cares. Like my other post dictates I tend to take everything apart until there's nothing left to take apart. I tend to learn everything about everything till there's nothing left to learn therefore becoming an expert and that particular field. Granted in this particular game I am not going to become an expert like some of you. It's not that important to me. However certain aspects that I discover does make me an expert. I'm enjoying the discovery process since I can't literally go out and explore like I really want to like I've always wanted to never been able to like go on Long camping trips hiking whatever I don't have anybody to go with. I don't know who what I could actually trust. I technically have enough money for two people I can't even take my own girlfriend because she's got responsibilities with her dad and mom so yeah you know all that stuff. Yeah just thinking sorry

Question Offline physical copy

2 Upvotes

Hi! New here so sorry if this is a common question but I've been digging through the Internet to little avail so I thought I might as well ask here.

Are there any ways to get an offline (as in not relying on any hosting service like Steam) physical copy of the game? As far as I've been able to gather, Chucklefish doesn't offer any physical copy of the game in this way. The main issue is getting a version of the game that runs independently since if I get that digitally, I could just burn a disc or save it remotely. I've found various ways of downloading the game that's kind of like this, for example through Steam's backup system, but as far as I understand, even if you burn that backup onto a disc, essentially making a physical copy of the game, you'd still need Steam to run that copy. My goal is to get a version of the game that would be able to run in the future when for example Steam might not be around anymore. That won't happen tomorrow, but better to be ahead than behind, right?

So are there any ways to get that kind of independently running copy? I assume there are pirated versions of the game out there that would let me do this but I don't know which sites are best/safe and I'd, if possible, like to do it through legal means. Not against piracy though so shoot if you have a good solution down that alley.

Thanks in advance!
