Gems (as seen in "Steven Universe")

Description
(Warnings were eaten by the update process, but basically, if you have a bug/crash, give me a log. Look up how to get an error log, I won't troubleshoot anything without one because that's simply impossible.)

Gems! As seen in "Steven Universe".

Can't see the species? Download a race extender like Kawa's Xbawks!

Have you ever wanted to play as a rock? No?
How about a rock with a lady-shaped projection around it? No?
Too bad! The Gem mod is here!

You can now be an envoy from Homeworld, send to Earth to infiltrate the Protectorate. And then, your mission gets unexpectedly disrupted by a terrible event... At least you can still explore the Galaxy on board a hand-shaped ship. With a giant, hungry robonoid.

Testers are needed, as the mod's just been released. As such, the usual rule of caution applies, even though I've used it with no complications.
The features and assets are subject to change as well, as some are placeholders.

By the way, while genders make very little sense for the gems, I've left two icons, allowing you to choose between a wide-waisted, flat-chested character or a narrow-waisted one. Either way, they'll vocalise like women.

NEW in Version 0.1.0 (Sycophantic Pearl)!
- Gem characters now have access to two new objects in the Industrial Workbench (the furniture thingie).
- Tenants have officially been implemented. Gem tenants require gem furniture (flag, ship doors and such work!) and other objects thematically related to them somehow. For a better effect, use my Portrait Restorer mod.
- Tenants can be recruited on your ship as their own crew class! For now, they wear the standard colour of clothing which means it could get a bit awkward if you dress them up. I'll switch that around later.
- Racial armours have now changed appearance (they're subject to change though).
- A racial mech is in the works but some minor cosmetic adjustments must be made before I make the pieces buyable.

Version 0.0 (Obsequious Pearl) includes:
- New race!
- 41 hair options, 6 gem placement options (5 on the face, one... not on the face)
- Starter outfits
- Tiered weapons from the show (including the highly controversial Breaking Point, and Sugilite's flail, that you shouldn't wave around buildings you care about. Swing it at a hill, you'll see what I mean)
- Name generator including cut and facet
- Custom flag
- Custom ship, S.A.I.L. and ship pet (in the background of the ship are invisible blocks so that you can hang things there - craft those from the "bare hands" manu)
- One codex (more to come!)

Planned features:
- Custom extra outfits
- Custom crafting stations
- Race-specific decorative objects
- Missions
- MORE tenants!
- Villages and structures
- Racial mech (can technically be spawned... but the pieces can't be properly made or found yet)

Special thanks to:
- Alpha_StevO for spriting the gem hairstyles;
- Aidanepic for contributing weapons;
- Chucklefish for making Starbound so moddable;
- Rebecca Sugar and the Crewniverse for this show;
- Kawa for the species tutorials, character creator extender and general help;
- FrAndromeda for feedback;
- the followers of the WIP thread for their enthusiasm;
- the Starbound Modding IRC & Discord for their help;
- the Steven Universe Discord too!

Due to it involving other contributors than myself, please ask for permission before using assets lifted from this mod.

What kind of beautiful music is playing out of stone?

hair is showing behind the head and giving me a massive forehead for some reason. Also curious if a 'Make the Universe a Cuter Place' patch could be done for the gems to make them blend in with the the cuter head mods?

the day a cuter races patch comes out, the day I die a happy woman

Your mod seems to crash the game whenever I access the crafting menu as an admin. Best to remove the invisiblematerial.recipe file, since that seems to be a common issue for other people.

@Pipann Well my modding skill isn't great, but I know many great modders resources that could help you with creating a mod (and ugh I can't give you links (beacuse well stream) but you can easily google it):


1) Classic Dr. Skittles's templates. This author has many useful mod templates. The most popular are the basic race template and an advanced one. Many race authors there were based or learned the basics of race mods just by using them and checking stuff out. Definitely give it a try.

2) On the Chucklefish forum (official game dev forum) you can find two useful e-books: Unofficial SB Mod Ebook and Starbound DETAILED Modding E-book v0.7.7. Those two are useful to teach many basic and bit advanced stuff related to SB modding

3) About dungeons and other structures. Use version 1.1.6. of Tiled, not higher because SB would have a problem to read data from never version of this program. Also well I lack more info about this field, better google it.
