Do the bosses in Starbound seem too easy to defeat? Want to fight against a boss that actually poses a decent challenge? With this mod, you might have to set up a boss arena to take on these buffed-up bosses. Here's what this mod changes:
Penguin UFO:
Robot:
- Base HP increased from 500 to 1000.
- Now performs multiple slam attacks in a row.
- Now moves faster, and shoots more rapidly, when performing its pulse cannon barrage.
- Now spawns more minions.
- Tanks now have slightly more HP.
Bone Dragon:
- Base HP increased from 750 to 1000.
- Now moves twice as fast, and jumps 2.5x as high.
- Added missile barrage attack (which replaces its flamethrower attack).
Jelly King:
- Base HP increased from 500 to 1000.
- Now moves twice as fast.
- Added dark plasma barrage attack (that can hit even the blind spot underneath the dragon, where dragonbreath cannot hit).
Since all of these bosses are harder than usual, I've decided to sharply reduce the crafting requirements of all of the items needed to summon them.
- Base HP increased from 400 to 1000.
- Smaller jelly base HP increased from 200 to 250.
- Now jumps 20% higher, and moves 66% faster.
- Smaller jellies now move 2.5x as fast, and jump 2.5x as high.
- Now expends jelly more often.
- Expended jelly now splits into multiple smaller jelly globs on contact, similar to the acid spray attack used by some common monsters.
- Smaller jellies now have a long-ranged bubblebeam attack.
Finally, this mod adds in a vastly-upgraded Penguin UFO boss that can only be summoned with the new invasion beacon. This suped-up Penguin UFO should give players with even endgame tech a challenge, as it easily keeps pace with a player equipped with the Bubble Boost or Dash techs, and quickly teleports out of melee range after using its slam attack.
This new boss requires an Invasion Beacon, which can be crafted from a Distress Beacon (which gives you the recipe), an Impervium Bar, a Solarium Rod, and a few hundred pixels.

<sigh> Just like with any other mod, you open the .zip or .rar file, and place the folder located inside into a folder titled "mods" (which should have a little file inside named "mods_go_here"), located into your Starbound folder. (Where your Starbound folder is located may vary, depending on where Steam was installed. For my PC, for example, it's located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\mods") If you have trouble figuring that all out, I suggest that you look at this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0YKFT79oBc
