    THANK YOU so much for thinking about downloading this Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy themed mod! - In this newest Update of the Mod we've added TONS of new features and ways to re-live your favorite Hitchhiker's Guide moments!

    Don't Panic, and be sure you know where your towel is!


    TONS OF NEW UPDATES AND ADD-ONS!

    THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING MODDERS FOR THEIR HELP WITH THIS UPDATE:

    DiggleDugger - For your suggestion to consolidate all theme mod times into a single crafting box. Good call Bud!


    - NEW WITH VERSION 3.3 UPDATE -
    ***NEW HITCHHIKERS GUIDE MOD CRAFTING TABLE ITEM***
    From now on, all Hitchhiker's Guide Mod Items will be craftable only through the Hitchhiker's Guide Desktop Item.
    This will allow you to access the special HHG Crafting Menu. This allows for less clutter in your other menus.


    Because of this change, all Hitchhiker's Guide book entries from the previous Guide Item have been added to the Record player instead.

    Also Included with this update is a craftable Lava item. Lava can be used to kill your friendly spawned crew mates if they happen to not look correctly, or perhaps have an odd stance once they've been summoned. Now you can simply fry them! By placing the lava on the ceiling above the spawned crewmate, you will cause them to take damage and die! That's the cost of doing space business, I guess.


    TWO NEW COSTUMES AND THREE NEW SPAWNERS!

    This udate includes the Movie Version Vanity Armor sets for the Mos Def Ford Prefect, and the Allan Rickman Marvin the Paranoid Android!
    Along with the Spawners for Movie Ford and Marvin, you will also get a Spawner for Arthur Dent! Now you can role-play as ANY of the Heart of Gold Crew, and still have everyone else with you!!!

    ALL MODS NOW CRAFTABLE AT THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE ITEM CRAFTING MENU!!!

    UPDATE to all crafting recipes, all the requirements and ingredients have been adjusted to better fit the game! As well as including several items as FREE items, such as Crew Spawners, Babel Fish, Placeable Mug and MORE! Check out the mod for all the details!

    Includes NEW WEAPON! Arthur's Tea Mug throwable item! Now you can throw the nasty Nutrimatic Tea at your enemies! It slows them down, and deals 42 damage! Perfect for early game grinding!


    NEW TECHS! -

    Now you can purchase two new Techs from the Deep Thought Supercomputer!
    The first Tech is Arthur Dent's Flight Ability Tech! It grants the user a free flight mode, in the spirit of Arthur Dents famous ability!
    The second is a Full Tech Unlocker! It unlocks all available Vanilla in-game techs!
    WARNING!!! By using either of these Techs, you will not be able to undo them without erasing your character. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

    NEW - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Home Edition! - This item is placeable for FREE from the "C" crafting menu anywhere in the game. It allows you to create all of the HHG Theme Mod items! The game remains the same, but now there is a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" twist! Let's have a drink!

    [​IMG]


    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Record Player - Plays the Hithhiker's Guide Theme Song and a few other songs on your ship! FREE craftable Item! You can also listen to several classic entries from the books! Freeyow! Adds a lot of personality to your ship!

    [​IMG]

    Be sure to give a review, share the Mod with your friends, and most importantly, ENJOY!!!!

    ARTHURS FLIGHT TECH AND ALL TECH UNLCKER BASED OFF OF CREATIVE FLIGHT TECH AND CREATIVE MODE TECH CREATED BY aMannus


    - NEW!!! - Hitchhiker's Guide Crew Spawners! - For the first time The Hitchhiker's Guide Mod brings you your very own Starship Heart of Gold Crew Members!

    [​IMG]

    Now you can craft FOUR new Crew Spawners that will call Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian Astra, and of course, Marvin the Paranoid Android to come and hang out with you on your ship, or take them down to a Planet and your crew will follow and protect you everywhere you go!

    NOTE: Upon Spawning your crew members, Ford and Trillain's posture and even their skin tones will be randomized. Zaphod and Marvin will only have a random posture, due to the nature of their costumes,

    - Each Crew Member comes packed with over a dozen unique phrases and comments for every occasion! From Ford's quick witted quips, to Marvin's profoundly depressing comments, each member of your crew will keep you company in their own way!
    - After spawning your Crew Member, simply walking near them will cause them to begin following your player! By interacting with them using the "E" key, you can make your companion either "Wait" or "Follow", and they will have plenty to say about that.


    [​IMG]

    - Each crew member is equip with a Weapon, so that they can defend you while you all explore the Galaxy together! Ford Prefect uses the standard Hitchhiker's Towel Whip for Melee combat, While Marvin and Trillian are each equip with a Vogon Electro Pistol for Ranged attacks. Zaphod uses a rather inaccurate, and destructive Missile Launcher. He tends to cause a lot of mayhem with it, but no creature stands a chance against him!

    [​IMG]

    - NEW! - Craftable Costume Sets -
    Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian Astra, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Marvin the Paranoid Android! - Brand new pixel art and designs! -

    - All costume pieces double as low level Armours, they add 42 points to Protection, EnergyRegen, and Health!
    (All Costume pieces can be created at the CraftingTable)


    -NEW! - With Arthur's Towel you will be able to craft the Towel Headwrap, and the Hitchhiker's Towel Whip, a favorite side arm of all Galactic Travelers!

    Hitchhiker's Towel Whip stats:
    DPS: 242
    Swing Speed: 1.28
    Damage Per Swing: 190
    (Stats were intended to make the weapon last as a side arm for a little while longer into the game.)


    -NEW! - The Vogon Electro Pistol - A brand new plasma gun brought to you by the Sirius Cybernetics Corp., Guns Division, this weapon is a favorite of the Vogon Contructor Fleet's Demolition teams! Just the thing for wiping out all the lessor lifeforms you may encounter!
    Vogon Electro Pistol stats:
    DPS: 485
    Rate of Fire: 5.00
    Damage Per Shot: 97
    Energy Per Shot: 18


    [​IMG]
    - NEW!!! The Supercomputer Deep Thought - The second greatest computer in all of Time and Space can now be yours! Aside from being able to tell you the Answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything, Deep Thought will allow you to purchase all those pesky Fetch Quest Items, so you will never have to waste time searching for a Golden Ducky ever again! Deep Thought costs 42 Core Fragment Ores in order to create at the Crafting Table
    Now that's what I call thinking!

    Absolutely amazing one of my favorite mods. Perfect for when you need the kick of the alcoholic equivalent of a mugging added to your adventures with your amazing space banjo
