The Epiphenic Hive

Description
1.0.3, Stationkeeping. After getting thoroughly routed by Tiled over and over, I feel some sort of twitch from this mod is in order. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you! Life just got in the way. Stationkeeping adds a few recipes and nothing else, because 1.4 ended up changing absolutely nothing with the game's code.

An OC race from a sci-fi story I'm writing, put into Starbound for fun.

The Epiphenic Hive, or the "Phenic", are a synthetic clonal colony of humanoids. I feel they're best described as "Space geishas in flying bricks"

This is *insanely* barebones right now, I'm putting it out as is because otherwise I'll doubt myself into burying it forever. I hope to have the ships looking much nicer and the clothes/armor properly drawn when I have the time.

The SAIL is entirely original artwork, it's a modified thing from my profile picture. If there's anything I'm particularly proud of here, it's that. That being said, I hope to have it looking slightly better soon as well.

The story they're from isn't currently online, since it's still just some boring pre-writing exercises. I hope to have a side-story that isn't entirely awful on offer here, and if it's ever put online you'll be the first to know.




I used DrPvtSkittles' race template for this. It was insanely helpful. You can find that at https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1206462931
I really do have to thank him for the template twice, since this wouldn't have been done without his heavy lifting.

Most of the hairstyles are modified versions of default hairstyles, and the ships use the Hylotl layout since that layout seems well-liked.

Feel free to patch this for compatibility, but please do link back here!

Given the times we live in, delays have been and still are completely understandable. That you posted to show that you still think of this mod and might someday return to it is encouraging, inspires hope, and is a very welcome message. Love hearing this mod might see more progress.
:jgthp::staxelcat::jgthp:

Hopefully life treats you better someday soon.
Stay safe! Don't feel rushed! Quality is more important than speed, at least for artistic stuff like this. Besides, waiting is what subscriptions to threads for mods is for.

....sorry, I don't usually gush like that, but I honestly think this mod is realty cool. Looking forward to more of it.

The point being, I may comb back through this mod in the near future, just to get it at parity with the Novakids in terms of content. So custom armor, maybe some furniture, but I'm not sure if anything else is viable at the moment.

Rest assured this thing is still occupying my head. My inability to continue working on this was-and is- due to both real-life stresses and mental health degradation. It's been a busy and miserable few years, I'll spare you the boring adult life details.

If you're not seeing it on your end, that could mean that you have a different version than what's on steam.

*crafting folder I mean
Bagheera Magaro 7 Jun, 2020 @ 9:04am 
I think I found the phenicbulkcrafter problem. In your craftin folder, you have phenicbulkcrafter in both a folder titled 'phenicbulkcrafter' and a folder titled 'pheniclathestation'.

That being said I'm going to try dedicating a day or two to getting rid of these weird ghost errors people have brought up. I really want to commit to it more seriously than that, but this has been a fun few months.
Vexum  [author] 6 Jun, 2020 @ 10:47pm 
You and me both. I can't seem to replicate it.

[15:24:59.565] [Error] Object phenicbulkcrafter defined twice, second time from /objects/crafting/pheniclathestation/phenicbulkcrafter.object
I'm super baffled by this error, actually. I've been debugging my mod collection all day (serves me right for not checking them one at a time) and this is the first time I've seen this error when only one pak file shows up in a full text search for the object in question and the object isn't vanilla.
