    This is currently for MAC only.
    Current version 1.1, compatible with Beta v. Offended Koala


    I've used most of the day setting up an application allowing mac users to easily build modded files with a simple UI instead of writing it themselves. It is still an early draft of the app, but it works just how it should.

    This tool is made to easily construct a new object, item, tool or recipe for the game.

    Images of the current UI:

    Guidelines:

    1. Start the application and fill in the top field, this should contain the mods name.
    2. Select the action you want to do, like "Build new item"
    3. Fill in the forms that appear. A # indicates that the field only accepts numeric values
    4. Click BUILD
    5. Obtain the files from the ".app/Contents/MacOS/File Builds/mods/<modname>/" folders


    Current Features:

    Building an item file.
    Building a recipe file.
    Building a tool file.


    Version history:

    Version 1.1 -
    Added tool builder.
    Updated graphics.

    Version 1.0 -
    Tool written and released, added item and recipe builder.


    Planned/Upcoming features:

    Weapons and armor building.
    Modfile builder.
    Write directly to Starbound folder.
    Automaticly edit in recipes in player.config


    Note:
    The input fields are still a bit buggy, and does only require the mouse to hover them to accept input.
    The tool currently exports to a folder in the .app bundle itself.

    Ehm, can you make it windows compatible? 75% of the comunauty is using windows, so most of us can't use you're tool.
