Steam Community :: Optional story

Engineer Gaming 30 Apr @ 6:04pm

Is there a version that starts your ship still at tier 1?

AtomicBeaverCleaver 20 Apr @ 9:05am

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know. Any idea where I might be able to find it? I've been looking and trying various different search terms, but haven't been able to find it.

TheSuit [author] 15 Apr @ 3:12am

Someone made a patch that makes it compatible from what I have been told

AtomicBeaverCleaver 14 Apr @ 8:03pm

Any chance of this being updated to be compatible with Frackin Universe at some point?

TheSuit [author] 25 Mar @ 6:44pm

Also keep in mind it has to be a brand new character.
As I wrote in the description.

TheSuit [author] 25 Mar @ 6:43pm

It doesn't beat the game for you, it just makes it optional.
It unlocks all the features in the - main area.

this didnt change anything about the game. i still have the starter ship still have all the storyline it seems to just semi work from what i can tell but it might just also be that im used to having some things done already since i have beaten the game a lot

story blows way to long just to move your ship boring...

☥¤§ÑîGHTMÃRÉ§¤☥ 18 Nov, 2023 @ 1:25pm

best mod is right here

TheSuit [author] 2 Nov, 2023 @ 12:08pm

Not really sure what that means
The story is pretty much same what ever race you pick

jesmith0526 2 Nov, 2023 @ 11:48am

can you do the avian only

you're ugly 6 Feb, 2023 @ 10:22pm

Yeah you can just do /setuniverseflag final_gate_key

you're ugly 6 Feb, 2023 @ 10:02pm

I had to regenerate my universe while installing new mods so I used this to fix my outpost. The ruin door isn't open. Is there any way to do that manually?

spqrfan 5 Nov, 2022 @ 10:12am

@Hubnester, can you please remake the FU BYOS optional story patch? i want the game to be more of a sandbox, but i still like the things FU and BYOS adds.

TheSkullton 16 Sep, 2021 @ 6:26am

Yeah but I can't find it and the link doesn't really lead anywhere (as far as I can tell)

TheSuit [author] 16 Sep, 2021 @ 6:19am

I think there is a FU compatible patch or Something someone was talking about in the main forums.

TheSkullton 16 Sep, 2021 @ 5:31am

There really needs to be an FU version of this mod

SomeGoodSWEDE 20 Jun, 2021 @ 3:47am

there was a FU patch for this mod once.

FU BYOS Optional Story Patch was the name.

Hopefully someone still has that mod somewhere.

☥¤§ÑîGHTMÃRÉ§¤☥ 30 Apr, 2021 @ 6:28pm

this mod needs 1.4 updating

Dom 6 Mar, 2021 @ 8:46am

Thank you very much this game's story sucks

Hubnester 18 Feb, 2021 @ 4:08am

if you have FU then this mod is likely not full compatible

Zero Jyllmeiko 18 Feb, 2021 @ 3:47am

Techstation?

TheSuit [author] 16 Feb, 2021 @ 4:41am

Only incompatible mods would be those that modify the techstation.
If you make a new character, vanillia with this mod then simply fix your ship.
It will set your universe as end game for all characters.

Because all charaacters share the same universe

Zero Jyllmeiko 15 Feb, 2021 @ 10:59pm

I can't get it to work. Any mods that this is incompatible with?

MCMXCIX 3 Jan, 2021 @ 9:12am

Nevermind, I managed to get it working. However the link is still down just for your info. Thanks again.

MCMXCIX 3 Jan, 2021 @ 8:47am

Is the Frackin' Universe compatible? The patch is no longer available and I had the original patch downloaded from ages ago, installed that one and it causes a crash. Trying to get into Starbound again and skipping the story is almost essential for me lol

Thanks! :)

Gecku 25 Nov, 2020 @ 6:08pm

I Did comment it no longer worked but i take it back, after the third try it did! Not sure why it took so long but. Im okay with it.

Phyvo 23 Nov, 2020 @ 1:21pm

YMMV on the compatibility of this and Frackin' Universe. I had one character (XI) who could get the upgraded ship and others (apex, avian) who could not.

vividity PopkaStan Klonoacel 9 Nov, 2020 @ 9:18pm

i wish the devs werent dumb enough to turn a sandbox exploration survival game into a shitty story game. sry im just mad.

Shiro 7 Sep, 2020 @ 1:17pm

I feel like just throwing this out here but this kid works fine with FU I've used them side by side for years without issue

Upamecasoren 2 Sep, 2020 @ 3:25pm

Thanks for that, I really dislike story in those type of game. I love to play Starbound as if it was minecraft like I used to do during the beta

The cute shark Jade✅ 25 May, 2020 @ 7:09am

That mod work strage with FU, his unlock all outpost function, mech quest avaible, teleport on outpost to. After rebooting ship functionaled to + Ancient vault quest. That working with FU idk why taht still in description of mod.

TheSuit [author] 14 May, 2020 @ 2:19pm

I am pretty sure another mod exists that does that
Optional Story really isn't about removing existing story, but simply making it optional.

NerdCuddles 14 May, 2020 @ 1:57pm

Can you make it where scanning is unlocked so I don't have to do quests to be able to use the pixel printer?

TheSuit [author] 2 May, 2020 @ 7:13pm

No - that would require a lot of editing, which can cause a lot of unncessary conflicts.

Lyre the Folf 2 May, 2020 @ 6:46pm

Is there a way to disable tracking of the main quest? I literally just don't want to do it. Like, at all. I don't even want to do the Lethia quest. I just want pure open sandbox.

TheSuit [author] 18 Apr, 2020 @ 2:30pm

Some one mentioned some one made a patch that makes it work with fracking

TBFShad 18 Apr, 2020 @ 2:19pm

When is it that it will be compatible with Frackin'?

TheSuit [author] 22 Mar, 2020 @ 9:49am

Bounty Hunting missions can still be done - just need to do the quests in order from quest giver

Eisvisage 22 Mar, 2020 @ 8:43am

Is there an updated version of this which allows the bounty hunting missions to be done?

TheSuit [author] 7 Mar, 2020 @ 1:11pm

yes - that is why its optional story so you can do it at any time.

Zipp 7 Mar, 2020 @ 11:10am

Okay so will the first mission always stay within your mission list?

hellxtrem 21 Jan, 2020 @ 8:05pm

nvmd for my comments, i found a solution using another mod with yours =P

TheSuit [author] 21 Jan, 2020 @ 11:23am

If you install this mod first - run it - activate the ship. Then only install BYOS it should be fine as it would convert the save into completed state.

taro 21 Jan, 2020 @ 10:49am

is does compatible with BYOS?

hellxtrem 15 Jan, 2020 @ 4:50pm

is it compatible with FU ? cus i looove byos and building my vessels, but somehow it reversed the byos to starter ship with erchius facility skip mod... i'm afraid of having the same issue with this one

TheSuit [author] 2 Jan, 2020 @ 8:44pm

Yes - it changes the game to a "completed state" so you can do what ever you want instead of doing main storyline

{Judah} 2 Jan, 2020 @ 7:14pm

can i just skip quests because the big ape quest is bugged and i can't get past it

MinBit 27 Oct, 2019 @ 3:04pm

oh ok then

TheSuit [author] 26 Oct, 2019 @ 1:52pm

No. This mod makes no changes to crew members at all.

Starbound
