Fly in glorious retro style as an 8-year old Genius!

    Monday to Friday, Billy Blaze is your average 8-year-old brat. But on weekends, he dons his Packers Helmet and becomes ...

    Now go fight some Vorticons.


    =INSTALLATION=
    1) Unzip contents into Starbound/mods/
    2) Create a new Human character in Single-player (You can use the Character in Multiplayer once they're created).
    3) Rescue the Galaxy!


    =NON-HUMAN RACES=
    The ship files work for other races too! Just rename the ships/human folder to the race of your choice.


    =USING THE SHIP ON AN EXISTING CHARACTER=
    Ok! So ... to use an existing character on pc:

    1) We need to find the existing character's codename.
    • Load up the existing character in-game, then exit Starbound. (This way the existing character's files are the most recently saved)
    • Open Starbound/player/ in explorer and arrange the files by date. The most recently edited one should represent your character.
    • You should see sets-of-3 files with the same name, but different type: xxx.metadata, xxx.player, xxx.shipworld. Where "xxx" is an identical string of numbers and letters.
    • Make a BACKUP of these files. If something goes wrong, you can always paste the old files back.

    2) From here we have two options:

    A ) Human character: You can delete the .shipworld (Or cut and paste it somewhere safe). Starbound will automatically make that character a new ship from the startership files. Remember to move all the loot on your old ship into your inventory or onto a planet first. You can always replace the old .shipworld if you want your old ship back. (You did remember a backup, right?)

    B ) Non-human character:
    • Make a new Human character. Load the dummy-human in-game.
    • Now go back to the main menu. Load your existing character. Exit Starbound.
    • Open Starbound/player/ in explorer and arrange the files by date. The first 3-file-set is your existing character, the second set is the dummy-human with the ship you want.
    • Copy the first character's shipworld codename ("xxx.shipworld"), then delete the file. Now rename the dummy-human's shipworld with the codename you copied.
    • ... profit!

    Absolutely phenomenal! However, I feel obligated to point out that the original BwB Megarocket didn't run on soda . . . it ran on EVERCLEAR =)
