This will likely be fatal to you at the start of the game, so construct your ship from the other side of a wall first. Just note that “loose” items/blocks fall to the bottom of the screen, and walking onto a spot without background tiles puts you in an airless, zero-g environment.

Despite floating in deep space, you are free to destroy the walls and background tiles of your ship at any time there are no decompression mechanics in Starbound. Incidentally, you can construct your dream ship out of any materials lying around. This allows you to skip a huge block of vanilla Starbound progression and immediately construct a ship of your dreams. When it asks whether you want the default ship or the Build Your Own Ship (BYOS) option, choose BYOS.

Great for off-loading one of the dozens of new ore types introduced in FU after coming back aboard your ship. They added a button to automatically stack anything you’re carrying into an existing stack in a container. In particular, Improved Containers will change your Starbound life. Then, just when you think you’ve had enough, come back, load the mod, and play what feels like Starbound 2.0.īeyond FU itself, I highly recommend the following (compatible!) mods: It is not recommended for a first playthrough – go beat the base, vanilla game first.

For now.įrackin’s Universe (FU) is a Steam Workshop mod that revitalizes (and complicates) the entire Starbound experience. High-tier weapon drops could still make suicide runs worth it though.Īnyway, I’m back to being obsessed with Frackin Universe. With the Research system in place, you won’t be able to even smelt any ore you find without spending an appropriate amount. Before, if you could dodge getting one-shot by hostile fauna, it was sometimes worth landing somewhere long enough to get lucky with chest drops or some endgame ore close to the surface. Well, I suppose Research also serves as a sanity check on players trying to leapfrog progression by getting lucky on high-tier planets. Indeed, pretty much the only thing the system really changes is the encouragement of building a planet-bound base as your ship always counts as a “tier 1 planet.” And planet-bound bases were really already encouraged by the simple mechanics of buildings needing power that more easily came from solar/wind sources. Plus, there are some consumable rewards that will give you a dollop here and there.įor the most part, Research doesn’t get in your way too much, as certain nodes also require you to craft (or at least own) milestone materials in addition to the purchase price. You can also get +1/second by hiring an NPC Researcher to follow you around, by wearing a special armor set, and by hoarding an endgame resource. Land on a higher-tier world with more dangerous enemies? Bonus +1/second based on the tier. Play a long session? Bonus +1/second every 60 minutes. A system like this would typically feel stifling, but the innovation here are the modifiers. Which is a fancy way of saying “passively in real-time,” at the rate of +1/second. The primary way to accumulate Research is… playing the game. But there was a clever implementation of a new Research system that ties it together in a (slightly) coherent package.Īll technologies in FU are unlocked by spending Research points to purchase nodes in various categories. Yeah, many of the craftable items are the same as is the general sense of gear progression that comes from mining new ores on new planets to build things that help you mine newer ores on newer planets. I was pleased to see that the expansive mod had embiggened itself over the last three years, pretty much to the point where everything felt new. More specifically with the Frackin’ Universe (FU) mod reinstalled. My disappointment with Farworld Pioneers left a Starbound-shaped hole in my heart that I prompted filled with Starbound. Was seriously considering booking 1 night at a resort just for the indoor pool. Pro-tip: don’t go to the beach in early June and expect to get in the ocean or pool.
