    I need some help. I downloaded this Irken race mod but its not working, I managed to get the Irken insignia where the gender options is but thats it. all the tutorials I read said to put it in my giraffe_storage but I don't have that so I put it in storage and then into mods but it still won't work. I even tried using the mod launcher on steam but it gives me an error window ( it says bad lexican cast) can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong QnQ

    Generally support for a specific mod should go in that mod's own discussion tab.

    That said, "giraffe_storage" tells me you are dealing with an outdated mod(beta aka pre-release Starbound). Everything goes in \mods\ now but that isn't the real issue. It is going to have things that don't work anymore because of changes to Starbound itself since that mod was last updated.

    I'm afraid there is nothing you can do besides learning to mod yourself - specifically race modding - and maybe more depending on what content they added. Or hoping the mod author updates it.

    I have no specific info for you on updating this. Race mods aren't something I've done(or am likely to do).

    And are you using a mod to extend your character creation screen, to show more races

    Okay, thank you so much for your help ^w^ I found that the error message I was getting is because there's too much white space in the mod file so it doesn't recognize the mod, and I was looking at learning to mod myself but I'm not experienced with mods so I might ask my brother for some help since he's more knowledgeable then I am ^w^

    Ok here is what got the race to work for me.... I dont know if yours looks like this, but mine came in a Xeno Irken V2 folder, inside that is the Xeno Irken Mod folder

    Take that folder out of the first folder and put that into your mods folder.

    The race doesnt seem to have an icon for the character screen, but I clicked on an empty spot that showed up between two of my other races and it let me choose Irken

    I don't have that, mine just says Xeno Irken Mod. but I haven't tried clicking on an empty lot in the character creator and see if its there.

    they don't have in icon because thats one of the bugs the creator didn't fix QwQ

    Weird. I'm looking through the mod and I cant tell why the icon isnt showing on mine, or why it wouldnt be loading in yours. I dont get anything in my logs about the mod
