I just noticed this mod, I have one that I hadn't shared yet that does the same thing, but adds one more NPC, if you want to add it, in the file

deadbeatscrounger.npctype

Same thing, but replace in this case

{
"op": "replace",
"path":"/damageTeamType",
"value": "friendly"
}

They are harmless NPCs too, but your crew takes them as enemies and kills them, their counterparts (deadbeatthug.npctype file) if they are "the bad guys", but those specifically are innocent people who usually die at the hands of your crew xD

I hate to try protecting these frogs and black person in dark worlds, when you try to protect the crews killed them.

Thanks for this!

Yes, I would love to spare those unaggressive Deadbeats.
Mimiga_Mask 10 Aug, 2021 @ 6:47pm 
Do you think it would be possible to patch the Deadbeats as well? They seem to be another race that can be harmed by mistake.

Update: I finished the code for the Shadow villagers and the Savannah villagers (aka desert hermits) so I've uploaded those fixes! Thanks to @Scope and @websurfer1111 for pointing these out to me! Updated icon will be coming as soon as GIMP decides to finally finish downloading.
websurfer1111 21 May, 2021 @ 6:14pm 
@Nightyngale Neat!
Nightyngale  [author] 14 May, 2021 @ 2:06pm 
@Scope & @websurfer1111: I imagine a similar fix would work for both of those! I might have to unpack my Starbound files again, but give me a bit and I can probably add both the Shadows and the Apex Hermits to this mod.

@SpaceMKP: Okay, honestly, the point of the cat having the OP sword in the screenshot was to show that the Froggs can't be damaged with this mod installed, but I can see how that would be somewhat misleading... xD

Okay, there's been a few comments since I last checked here so I'm going to try to address them all - I'm so sorry for the delay, my computer died for a bit and I'm just now getting back to Steam.

@NightofWastebear: This should fix Froggs so that they're not killable! I don't know how Killable Villagers affects NPCs; this mod changes the Froggs to register as "friendly" for purposes of damage, not as villagers specifically, so if Killable Villagers only affects NPCs registered as "villagers" then they wouldn't work together. However, if you DO want to kill your villagers, I'd recommend just... not installing this mod? xD I don't see why a mod allowing you to kill villagers and a mod NOT allowing you to kill villagers would need to be compatible, y'know?

Gale why does the cat have a large knife... do the frogs not suffer enough :winter2019sadyul:
Scope40k 13 Apr, 2021 @ 4:02am 
There are apex hermits who live in desert biomes -- they have the same issue. Is there a similar fix for them?
websurfer1111 21 Mar, 2021 @ 4:18pm 
The shadow people on midnight worlds suffer from the same syndrome I think.
They are harmless, interactable and killable like the froggs.
AbyssStarer 26 Feb, 2021 @ 5:26pm 
I hope this fixes how you can kill them when you can't any npcs. (if you did fix that, I hope this supports Killable Villagers, the updated one by FelmastProMcLane)
Damien Nightmares 26 Feb, 2021 @ 12:27pm 
protect them harder cuz so far its a lone bean vs a chunky amount of genocidal maniacs x3
Nightyngale  [author] 25 Feb, 2021 @ 6:29pm 
@Rtma Eros Paragon: I'm pretty sure it was a developer oversight. They're referred to as "villagers" pretty much everywhere in the files, just not coded in as a villager-type NPC. Little mistakes like that are bound to pop up in a game this big; check out the Starbound Patch Project and see how much they've fixed!
Rtma Eros Paragon 24 Feb, 2021 @ 10:23pm 
I was curious why they were attack-able in the first place.
Laymon 24 Feb, 2021 @ 7:46pm 
the frogs deserve death
Nin10dope 64 24 Feb, 2021 @ 6:18pm 
Thank you
It's obnoxious especially when they're in those giant Inn dungeons on the surface that have a bunch of non frogs that also get scared of you
Nightyngale  [author] 24 Feb, 2021 @ 4:51pm 
Just so everybody's aware, each new comment with a variation of "but why can't I kill the frogs" only makes my desire to protect them stronger.
thecrimsonaxe 24 Feb, 2021 @ 4:47pm 
they took away my ability to kill frog villagers
cant have shit in detroit
Damien Nightmares 24 Feb, 2021 @ 1:25pm

The Pizza is Aggressive 24 Feb, 2021 @ 6:30am

why fix perfection
Sinnroy 22 Feb, 2021 @ 7:12pm 
oh sorry

@zachery Not a man, actually! My preferred pronouns are they/them
Sinnroy 22 Feb, 2021 @ 1:55pm 
give this man an award, he stopped frogg genocide
gMaImNeDs 22 Feb, 2021 @ 10:20am 
Yet another of the wonderous mods we had no idea we'd need until either a problem arose, or somebody fixed it. Like female mannequin torsos overlapping the arms(I'm gonna nix that one shortly).
Lienom Zekon 22 Feb, 2021 @ 8:50am 
thank you for saving the frogs E.T. would be proud
Nightyngale  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 5:01pm 
@ѕaιnт apollyon I would have to agree!

@Lukiwarble Because they're not technically considered "friendly" the NPCs might actually have targeted the froggs... I had a similar issue with my crew members targeting the froggs after I accidentally damaged them, which is why I made this in the first place >.<

@Azure Fang A big-name modder telling me my mod isn't useless? Am I dreaming?? Thank you!

On an unrelated note: Changing the froggs into villagers replaced their dialogue with Hylotl villager dialogue for some reason so... I guess I'm gonna try to fix that? :steamfacepalm:
Azure Fang 21 Feb, 2021 @ 2:08pm 
>Welcome to another useless mod!
>Provides a minor-yet-substantial QoL adjustment
>Pink cat

I reject your useless claim, good modder.
Lukiwarble 21 Feb, 2021 @ 11:58am 
finally, i would usually spawn guard npcs to protect them from the monsters and when i returned they were already dead
ѕaιnт apollyon 21 Feb, 2021 @ 10:52am 
A pink cat with an OP sword is the only correct way to play Starbound
ZX-DX 21 Feb, 2021 @ 2:14am 
fun fact i used to use molotovs on the fez frogs cos they drop cool shit
