ITEM ASYLUM MENTIONED!!! 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

BirdUp model update in the works!

Tweaked animation and plumage/fluff/beak visuals (with extra additions), and clothing compatibility in the works.

Working out plans to make the transition as seamless as possible. For those concerned with models based around previous sprites, they will be included within the BirdUp mod files for personal use.

Keep an eye out for new race mods in the works as well!

haha item asylum reference hahahaahahhahhaahahahahahaahhahhaahaaa (i am in severe pain)

Hey @Mabra! Since eStyleFaces changes sprites, their sprites may overwrite Bird Up faces or vice versa. If you'd like to use eStyteFaces with Bird Up, I'd suggest trying out the Body and Colors Only! fork seen in the description.

Is this compatible with "eStyleFaces" ?

Hey @Ten the Hyena, I'll certainly consider that! Tailfeathers would be a fun addition.

Would it be possible that there will be a version with tail feathers?

Hi @Kubomi! , I feel very bad for the Apex and Human race , they are just flat designs , biology , the story is normal. I would like if they made them just a bit diferent from our World.

Hey ID, it would be fascinating to see a correlation between thicker legs and a natural speed boost. Stronger legs would be better with traction and maintaining speed. Though, I'd love to see more racial bonuses in general.

Hi @Kubomi! The other thing i thinked was like, their is no race that is fast, and the other think i had was that Avian have armored legs soo why not use them in a better direction ? Can you give an opinion ?

Hey @ID! Based upon a human anatomy, bulkier bird legs would certainly be a possibility. After all, they'd need to be adapted to holding more weight since they lack the flight now.

I believe it's more of a spectrum based on a human/bird ratio. Closer to the human side you get bulkier features, and on the latter end you'd have lighter features. But I could be thinking too far into it.

Kubomi, what do you think of having avian with bigger and stronger legs, just because land birds have big ones, and because if you put that with human anatomy that would be stronger, i think, no facts, but what's your opinion?

mm burdy

Hey @Izadumb1, of course! I've dove pretty deep into a project as we speak. There's still a ways to go with aspects like ship design and clothes, but otherwise good progress has been made. No spoilers yet!

Looks great! I love it when a mod strays away from "human wearing a cheap costume", Do you think you'd be doing other races?

Thank you!

Heard! Upon request, two forks for BUA have been added! One for Body/Color changes only, and the other for Plumage/Feather/Fluff changes only respectively!

You can find either in the description. Hopefully this patches individual needs up, and feel free to shout out if something doesn't quite work!

Wooooo let's gooooooo Kroooo

I agree with Good Game, I really like bird up, but the additions keep me from playing with people who don't want it. If you make the separate versions, I'd acquire dopamine :D

Hey @Kubomi ! First: Thanks for the cool mod!

I would also need separate resprite and additions version of the mod. I run a popular Starbound server and multiple of my players would be interested in using the resprite as a client-side mod. However, due to the mod also containing additions, we'd have to make the mod server-side and force everyone to use the resprites, which is not something I'd like to do.

I could even help you create the separate versions, I don't mind.

@Kubomi good on ya :)

Hey @RavingRaptor! In the future I do have plans to release expansions for Avian styles separate of the new body type. Since those will be purely head-based, they should work just fine with mods like Frackin'.

At the moment i have another project in the works thats sapping up my time. That'll be next in line!

Any plans to make it compatible with Frackin Universe? The body clips through most armors in general, especially the hand feathers.

Alternatively, would it be possible to upload the plume styles by itself? You have a very good sense of style.

If anyone wants to use this mod with Cutebound use the Make the Universe a Cuter Place (Heemi's Version) it removes the cutebound harpy sprite reverting it to the starbound original one (If you use the original Cutebound the avians wont have beaks because Cutebound removes them)

@Fevix but have you heard of the Evertournuac mod

Tonauac is perfect as he is

finally, a good avian touch up

Hey philmcg and FennyFenFen! Unfortunately this mod does not reskin Tonauac, and will have issues with other mods that reskin Avians. Bird Up, Avians! creates a .patch file which reskins the base-game Avians, and as a result may take priority over other mods and vice versa.

These are adorable. Does it include updated sprites for Tonauac?

Does this replace Cutebound avians?

a million percent better than what the base game has, nice

This is quite literally just the Rito

Well, the worshippers of Kluex won't like ya. But it's worth it :3

Awesome looking just from the pics alone!

Kubomi I'm cheerin rn jsyk. Thanks!

i was just looking for a mod like this yesterday! xD

Hey 97, yes! With this mod installed, all existing Avians will be converted to the new body type.

Does this works on NPCs and existing character?? such a lovely mod!

subbed to this thinking there'd be cockatiel representation so i could play as my pet -- still more accurate than vanilla in terms of replicating them. good stuff!

hi kro

After some further investigations, the .species file was left in, causing the mod to take priority over other Avian changes. This has now been patched in a recent update, and original Vanilla head sprites should now be active again! Sorry about that!

Yeah I still seem to be stuck on the 7 vanilla colors. Probably something on my end, will check my mods and see what else effects the avians then get back to you.

I'll try colorbound again then, bc the colors weren't working for me. Also is this compatible for custom hair for avians as well?

Absolutely! Since this mod is a reskin, there shouldn't be any (foreseen) issues using any color mods. I gave Colorbound a go and it seems to work!

Is this compatible with mods that add more colors for Avians like colorbound?
