Description


This mod adds Protogen to Starbound!

This mod is in it's very early stages, and as such may not be entirely balanced or function properly. Let me know of any bugs you find, and I'll be sure to fix those ASAP.

Join the community on Discord![discord.gg]

This will require a mod that adds more species options to the character creation screen. I recommend Xbawks Character Extender

Mannequins add-on: available here

Riv's retexture add-on: available here

Extended Customization add-on: available here

Blue striped ship retexture: available here

Frackin' Universe BYOS support: available here



New update: Update V0.9.5

Been a while, hasn't it? This update adds a bit of new stuff, rebalances other stuff, and changes a few other things here and there.

WARNING! this update changes tile IDs to fix conflicts with the Black Ice mod, and will cause all existing saves with protogen tiles present to convert to either dirt or black ice tiles. Tiles in the inventory shouldn't be affected.

WARNING 2!! This update changes the tail sprites a little bit to fix some issues with it, but if you're using the customization addon it won't work. There is a separate patch available that overrides the file in question with a version including the new tail.

NEW CONTENT

STAREXTENSIONS
- The Protogen mod now has support for text-to-speech voices with the StarExtensions[github.com] mod, because I thought it was funny. Also makes the heads rotate to where your mouse is pointing, and works fully with/without the mod installed.

CHARACTERS
- Added a few new fin style options to the character creator. I tried to make versions with glowy bits, but couldn't get them to inherit the eye colour properly :(

MECHS
- The Protogen now have their own unique starter mech chassis, as well as a craftable upgraded variant. If anything goes wrong with it, let me know. In my testing it's been okay, but your mileage may vary.

ARMOUR
- All 4 initial tiers of armour are now available, craftable at the Protogen workbench available at the Inventors Table level 2.

WEAPONS
- A new upgraded variant of the starter sword, a new shortsword, & 2 new shields, all craftable at the Protogen workbench.

CLOTHING
- Re-added clothing options to the character creator, currently just 2 options but I might make more eventually.

CRAFTING
- Changed a bunch of recipes up, fixed a few that were broken or unimplemented, swapped the furniture to be craftable with iron instead of tungsten, and made it possible for non-Protogen characters to get the crafting stations, items, and recipes via a shop terminal craftable at the inventors table.

NPCS
- Fixes a few things relating to NPC/tenants, gives them more fitting speech sounds, and enables new types to spawn like merchants and guards, which should have proper outfits. I think. (If anything breaks lemme know)

BUGS
- Fixed some stuff like that pesky RAM item issue, some NPC shenanigans, and a few broken things here and there.

MISC.
- Changed the design of the flag again, and also probably some other stuff I forgot

Frackin' Universe FUSAIL patch available here[github.com], though FU itself should come with out of the box compatibility now. I will be working on my own Frackin' Races stat add-on at some point though.

In order for Futara's Dragon Pixel Full Bright Shader mod to work there's a specific installation method listed in the description, read it carefully instead of just hitting subscribe. The glow effect on Protogen faces will require a new character to function, there's unfortunately no way around that as far as I am aware.

What is currently included in this mod:
-Full custom race with all requisite sprites
-Custom race-specific weapons
-Custom armour sets
-Custom NPC merchant
-Custom race-specific S.A.I.L sprites
-Custom ship pet
-WIP custom respawn animations
-Custom race ship, textures courtesy of Brossu_[www.instagram.com]


What will be added to the mod at a later date:
-Generated structures

If anything, and I mean ANYTHING, is awry, let me know ASAP. I want your feedback to help me make this mod something the community can enjoy.

I like using the armor in vanity slot while having regular armor underneath tbh
Lurmey 10 Dec @ 11:37am 
Okay.. well it doesn't seem to actually make it clear in any of the descriptions that the resprite is incompatible with the customisation and patch, but I can assume it's because of the tail changes. Either way I removed the resprite mod. Thanks
Lurmey 10 Dec @ 11:31am 
Thanks for letting me know - normally I am pretty good to read mods but in this instance I wasn't the one asking for the mod, it was SirSmore below, and they found a collection with all the Protogen-related mods together so I figured they were compatible. I did exclude one that was for FU which we don't use. I'll take a look at each of the mods to fix the conflicts.

@Lurmey Well first and foremost I can tell you didn't read the instructions super good on my mod pages as you have installed several addons which conflict with each other. The customization addon and update patch is NOT compatible with the Riv's Resprite mod at all
Other than that I genuinely do not know how most of those mods may effect things but if I get a chance to take a look sometime and see whats up I may
Lurmey 9 Dec @ 12:57pm 
Weird. I don't know the first thing about Starbound modding so I wouldn't be able to help, but I can give you the collection I have which is all the mods we're using. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1959972278

It's only 80 mods, not the most I've seen around haha
Bun  [author] 9 Dec @ 2:04am 
That's odd, it should be only pulling from its own pool of tagged items. Not sure what exactly is going on on your end as I can't test your entire exact list of mods, but I can at least tell you that isn't intended to happen lol
Lurmey 8 Dec @ 3:05pm 
Quick question where does the Protogen Building Station pull it's recipes from? I thought it would just be Protogen furniture and such, but in our game it also includes a lot of seemingly disparate furniture items both pixel-printed and crafted, from Elithian Races, Felin, Kitsune mods and some vanilla things.
Lurmey 8 Dec @ 8:14am 
Ah okay that explains it. Thanks for finding the issue, hope to see it fixed soon! :)
SirSmore 8 Dec @ 8:14am 
Alright sounds good thank you for your time! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Bun  [author] 8 Dec @ 6:56am 
Seems the recipes got mistakenly removed from the species file at some point without me noticing in testing, not sure when. In the meantime before I can make another update for the mod I recommend using other armour as you mentioned, until you can craft Protogen stuff. The Protogen gear should generally be a bit stronger than other stuff in vanilla Starbound so once you get past that initial hurdle it's not so bad.
