Biologically-Correct Torsos
v0.2.5 (Tiers 1+2 and Avian Tail Feathers) - for Enraged Koala
a mod by charity236
Real birds, fish, amphibians and plants don't have mammaries or belly buttons*, so why should anthro ones? Here's an aesthetic mod for anyone who's bugged by this sort of thing, or wants to make certain races look that little bit more alien.
* Animals can have scars after removal of the umbilical cord or yolk sac, but they usually heal and/or get covered up by fur or feathers.
I chose this little project to ease myself into modding Starbound. There's a lot of clothing to edit, but with roughly a decade of spriting experience under my belt, it won't be difficult... just tedious.
~~~
Completed:
- Flatter female busts - Avian, Floran and Hylotl
- Base body sprites
- Chargen icons
- Starter clothing
- Tier 1 and 2 armour (where necessary; not all armour has a female version)
- Navels removed (both genders) - Avian, Floran and Hylotl
- Optional body parts
- Tail feathers - Avian
To Do:
- Edit armour in ascending order of tiers (3-10)
- Gradually edit clothing
- Tweak previously-completed sprites where needed, particularly Floran stuff
- More optional body parts (tails, fins etc), for sexual dimorphism and to set the other races further apart from Humans
Future Ideas:
~~~
- Optional flat chests for the other three default races (Human, Apex and Glitch), for whatever reasons people might want them.
- Compatibility/inclusion of other aesthetic and race mods.
- A separate mod for a third gender (that is, biological sex - the asset files call it gender), using the sprites from this mod. I'm not sure it's possible at this point in the Starbound beta, though.
Basic Installation:
Download the .zip file and open it, or extract it somewhere like your desktop. Copy the 'BiologicallyCorrectTorsos' folder to your /Starbound/mods/ directory.
Addon Installation:
NOTE: This will overwrite the original BCT files, so make sure you keep the .zip file as a backup!
Open the included 'Optional Files' folder, then pick the folder with the addon you want. Copy its contents to your /Starbound/mods/BiologicallyCorrectTorsos directory.
Uninstallation:
Delete the 'Biologically-Correct Torsos' folder from your /Starbound/mods/ directory.
Known Issues:
As BCT grows, you may find females of the unedited races (Human, Apex and Glitch) wearing edited clothing, which won't cover them properly. Beyond making them flat-chested as well, I haven't yet found a way to change this. If you can help, please contact me.

Do birds, fish and plants really need, uh, those?
