Pandora's Box (Legacy - Read description)

----------PANDORA'S BOX----------

Attention all Pandora's Box users, please heed this message: Pandora's Box V4.0 will be the final update
for this mod. I have decided to reboot the project anew.

This may sound sudden for many, but I feel this has been a long time coming. V4.0 Became a massive beast,
and I was starting to acquire burnout. I feel it is for the best that a remake is done. We will be able
to perform cleanup I wouldn't be able to do otherwise, and safely trim whatever fat we have garnered without
causing trouble for those still using the now legacy Pandora's Box.

A majority of the features you have come to know and love will trickle into the new project over time... so
don't be concerned about things like homing capturepods and nameable pets being scrapped. I still want
to offer that stuff. Expect a lot of spring cleaning, and changes
to the very balance of the new project though.

I don't know when this new mod will be available. The process will likely take a long time, and I don't
want to rush things. In the end, I hope to be able to deliver a truly extensive, non-intrusive content
mod users will be able to enjoy.


The original project will not be removed, and will remain for legacy sake, as well as to keep users that
use it stable. (When the new mod releases, I will incorporate placeholder spawntypes to deal with
ones that would be left over from the old mod if people migrate.)

That said, I hope you continue enjoying this project... It has been an absolute pleasure developing
for you, and I hope to be able to continue doing that going forward. Plans are still loose right now...
but we'll work things out.

Goodbye. (For now.)

Growing tired of seeing the exact same forms of unique monsters? Want to see new unique monsters? Looking for some
enhancements and improvements? Well Pandora's Box could provide just what you're looking for!

Pandora's Box aims to add variations to unique monsters, add new monsters of it's own, and make other tweaks
and enhancements intended to improve quality of life revolving around monsters and other aspects of Starbound.

I work on it as I go... but I plan on doing much more with it.

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

NOTES BEFORE DOWNLOADING
-This isn't a mod that can be installed and uninstalled at will. It adds new unique monsters
of it's own, and any planets that pull from it's spawntypes will NOT work if you
uninstall. You will either have to clear an affected planet's files, or reinstall the mod.
(Making backups of your universe files is highly advised.)
