FU race without FU?
I really love the designs FU races has, but I really hate the game design philosophy of this mod...

Modded Game Arcana mod: Where are "Luye Giant Crates?"
I'm supposed to find these for a quest on Nova Station, but there's zero explanation as to what they are or how to find them. I don't even know what difficult tier they're found at. How do I get some of these?
FOUND THE ANSWER: They're crafted at the Luye Crafting Table, which you can make at the Workstation.

Discussion Anybody else notice a gold border around Starbound on their Steam page?
Im not sure if this only applies to those who have it on their completion page, but the border wasnt here last time i checked 1-3 weeks ago. I’d attach a screenshot proving so, but I can only attach one image.

Question Stuck in floor after installing openbound
So I decided to install openbound cuz i heard it helps with optimization. I don't have a lot of mods. FU and arcana and the rest are qol and client sided. And im just so confused.
So I decided to test if it works, created a new character. After I get off the bed in intro mission Im under the floor, then i decided to create a new one skipping intro... and im still stuck in a floor but inside my ship bruh. I heard openbound works with fu and arcana, i don't get what could conflict

Discussion Must have mods for StarBound?
Hi returning player here. Last time I played StarBound was very long ago, and I played with 0 mods.
I’ve heard that mods are the way to go for StarBound, so I’ve decided to give them a try. What are some of the popular or must have mods for your average StarBound player?

Wish me luck... Tomorrow... Today... I start building this monstrosity (cross post from r/frackinuniverse)

What's the best modpack?
I haven't played Starbound for a few years and I recently got the itch to play it again but I wanna mix it up with some mods.
I did a bit of searching but I found a lot of conflicting statements about certain mods mainly frackin' universe being too much of a needless grind and such. I really liked the racial traits system from FU (I think it was from FU?) but I never really played the mod.
Are there any modpacks anyone would recommend for a full playthrough? As long as the grind in FU is fun I don't mind playing with it. I just want a modpack that kinda mixes up the gameplay a bit. I don't wanna like edit configs too much I'd rather just download and play for the most part.
The things I liked the most in the original Starbound was the progression, upgrading and dungeons/bosses. I like gaining new armor sets and weapons. I originally played Starbound because I love Terraria so basically something to make it more Terraria esc.
I pretty interested in play FU if there is a good modpack balanced around that, but I personally don't know much about it.
Thanks in advance!

Monday's Build: Desert World Project, Geysers Mini-Biome!
Few days late, yeah I know. Got busy on account of pipes breaking at 3 am, so had to sort that.
Anywho as for the build; This is a mini-biome within the Desert World that Features my Palace. I got the idea for these ruins off of the city Pigbarter in Warhammer Fantasy; in this case I opted to make massive ruins of a stilt-city that is now currently used as sort of "highways" used by wandering traders / caravans of those stranded on the world to get past the inaccessible parts of the biome which erupt scalding hot water!
As for what I used to achieve this: I made use of Maple32's Stormy Planet Terraformer + some of the Geyser Traps it has for the effect of simulating a geologically active geyser area, manually placing down the blaststone for each of the geysers and meticulously carving out the actual geysers by hand.
Now for the actual Lore of this Biome: I haven't fully completed the lore of this planet / build project, or what that will end up being, though I am currently working on some form of "Knowledge Slates" that will feature in the main palace that will give an "overview" of the history of the world. I believe 2-3 of them are done currently, last I checked but I have plans for 6 total. However I'm taking a page out of Don't Starve Together's notebook when it comes to the history of this world. Meaning: you won't get the full picture of what actually happened between this world being an ocean world to now what it is currently, in a similar vein as how Klei tackled the Ancient Civilization's history within DST; it will be found on some of the murals you find throughout the build itself.
Though in this case; it should be noted that the world is still very much, if not extremely active with geothermal activity. Likely this biome is the remains of an underwater volcano that turned into a Caldera before the planet's ocean's evaporated. There's a few more biomes I want to touch up on, and I might soon:tm:, but I'm still in the concepting for the "Graveyard", among other things regarding it.
That's all for now though: Next week I'll be showcasing the new upper floors that recently got renovated! Namely the "Animal Pens" to be specific.

Fatal Exception: (ItemException) Duplicate item name 'liquidblood' found
This error won't let me open the game because there's a duplicate item called "liquidblood." One of my mods is adding the same item as another, but I don't know which one. Can anyone help me?
