Pixel Craft - Rebalanced Crafting and Difficulty

In the universe of Starbound pixels make up everything. Its a universal force, condensed and raw energy, that can be harvested into special casings. When "used" it cause reactions and manipulate atoms much like matter manipulators do, but pixels achieve this by inducing a burst energy charge. The various tools at the workstation station mold the energy and items into a new state of matter in seconds instead of the time it used to take to fabricate items in 'ancient' times. In this space traveling galactic society this energy would be used and traded with the upmost value over other goods. Being able to extract this energy from alien creatures, find stashed caches of it or putting it in pods Earth shoots out into space to use for when colonizing distant worlds (inspect the stack of pods in the intro mission just before ship) makes sense. As an explorer of ancient ruins, or a bounty hunter, an outlaw, an extra-xeno-terran farmer, a smuggler, a lumberjack or whatever you choose to be in Starbound this raw energy, these pixels, are essential to your survival now. You will need to find a way to acquire them, a lot of them, to thrive.


HUGE FLIPPIN WARNING!

HUGE FLIPPIN WARNING!

Did you know that Starbound has 422.22 quadrillion planets? That's 422,220,000,000,000,000 written out. I only need to go to 11 to get to end game in the weekend 1.0 released. After a week of learning how to make edit mods for Starbound I began to create Pixel Craft. This mod completely and totally destroys the intended quick casual feel of Starbound. Start a new character if you intend to try. It was made for my own private server, Persnickety Penguin Petters, intending to make co-op multiplayer more group oriented and to require exploration. Pixel Craft changes Starbound into something that will not take a week to 'complete' anymore. You will not be able to have stockpiles of everything or a grand mega planet-wide colony. Pixel Craft will also encourage players to barter their selected trade items with one another. What this mod does is twofold. It changes every base material to require pixels to craft and it adjusts the game's difficulty by a series of indirect tweaks.

Mod version 8.1 for Starbound version 1.1.1
If you like really really really Pixel Craft then like this mod please! You can also contact me directly to inquire about joining my upcoming small private server (its application only).
============================

+ Pixel Craft is made for survival difficulty. You now start with no torches or food, only a flashlight.

+ Removed all recipes from empty hands crafting menu except the Inventor's Table. Moved these recipes to tier 1 wooden workbench (timber) and tier 1 foraging table (everything else)
+ Adjusted crafting recipe for Inventor's Table to not require timber and costs 100 pixels (starting amount).
+ New Furnace recipe: 100 logs yield 1 coal

The following recipes also require the following:

+ Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold, Tungsten Bar

============================
Dungeon Maps

Protectorate chests no longer give you a stockpile of pixels or healing items. Instead you get something else that will come in handy later. If you do the intro or skip it you will only have 50 starting pixels either way.

============================
Planet Generation

New planets will now generate friendly villages and hostile dungeons less. Everything has been lowered by 75% so you will not find these on every planet. I changed the threat level range for worlds too. Planets now are able to spawn the next highest tier. Example: forest worlds can now be tier 2 or tier 3 threat level. Make sure you check these. I did not touch the 'kindergarden' threat level or dungeon generation as it would break new characters to start on a threat 2 world with no gate.

============================
Colony Deed system rebalance.

'Frögg Furnishing' no longer sells working colony deeds. Instead he sells a new item for 5,ooo pixels called 'inactive colony deed.' You take this to the '2 Stop Teleshop' with 1 teleporter core and 8 tech cards. The shopkeeper will then assemble a working colony deed for you. I also changed the behavior of colony deeds. The first tenant to spawn to the deed is the only tenant that wil luse that deed even if the deed is removed or the room is altered. Who you get is locked to the deed.

============================
Matter Manipulator Upgrades require 478 Matter Manipulator Modules (MMMs) to acquire a 100% fully upgraded tool.

+Liquid Collection unlocks for 1 MMM
+Paint Tool unlocks for 1 MMM
+Wiring Tool unlocks for 1 MMM
+Power/ Size/ Range are all rescaled to the same cost for each tier of 25 MMM/ 50 MMM / 100 MMM

Tier 3 power and range upgrade raised by 100% each

============================
Other Changes

+ Refining Changes: copper, silver, gold, solarium ores and diamonds are worth it to refine now. The other ores and all ingots are not woth it.
+ Oil is now craftable from the fossil station. Its a little expensive and requires a good deal of resources to keep it rare.
+ Sand, logs and dirt are now sellable!
