KINEPTIC RACE MOD
The Kineptic are a race of what most would consider to be "Magician Space Cats" with four tails and a small spot in the center of their foreheads which glows with a faint bioluminescence. While their methods and techniques are similar to stereotypical wizard behavior, they insist that they are using extremely advanced technology and prefer to be called thaumaturges. The fact that they call their specialized technology modules and programs "spells" isn't helping their case, though. They get their powers from their gloves, which use programs derived from the properties of objects to perform their spells and draw energy from the user's body to do work. This energy is not a mystic life force, but stored calories from consumed food. In other words, the gloves' battery is the user's body itself. As such, the more they use their gloves, the more they have to eat. Upon meeting humans for the first time, they were ecstatic to find out the alien species had developed numerous foods that were extremely high in caloric value. Of these energy-dense foods, toaster pastries quickly became a favorite snack during working hours to reduce the time wasted eating huge meals.
Since this is a race mod, you're gonna need a character creator extender in some capacity. That's really the only prerequisite. As for installing it, just put the .zip file in your mod folder and unzip it. Standard procedure.

I've got a link in a spoiler tag on page 31 of the discussion thread. It's got an incomplete build that I _think_ works with the current version... I'm not sure, though.
The starbound logs are your friend. Just look through those and see where the errors are being thrown.

Data not found.
Sorry, there's no estimated timeframe. My interest comes and goes. Right now, it goes.

That's because the mod isn't updated for 1.0. Sorry.

Yeah, you should be able to spawn it in with admin commands. I believe the item name is kineptictier0pulse.

I will eventually, but for the time being I'm experiencing one of my patent-pending lulls in motivation. I feel a lack of creativity when I can't do what I envision, and it's hard to do what I envision from the lack of documentation. There are a lot of helpful people out there, but I'm not able to keep up with them.
The kineptic can fly with the use of their gloves, canonically. In game, you're probably not gonna see it for a while, if ever. It'd completely break a lot of aspects of the game if you can just fly out of the reach of your enemies.
