RELEASED Build Your Own ship/ Sandbox Ship[Dead]

This mod doesn't have to be updated for each game update. Although it lacks some of the features of this mod. http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/fully-customizable-ship.44650/

 

I decided to go with a save modification method instead of giving everyone the dropship.structure so that if they wanted to make a new character they didn't have to uninstall my mod to have a normal ship again.
I also made sure to not give players and normally obtainable blocks because I believe starbound should be played as an adventure game and not a creative mode game handed on a silver platter. I'm also not a fan of modifying game assets and always place my modded ship assets in a different directory when finished. But that is all a matter of preference I guess.
Objectively, his mod far superior than mine in terms of accessibility,creation and sustainability.

Logically though, you guys should probably just go with his mod from now on if you want building materials for your ships.
I will however, make an download to the ship assets if you guys really want them.

 

Would you like me to include a link to your mod? I think it would be a good idea to give them the option of using a save file or editing files.

 

If you'd like, I honestly think your version is a better approach in the long run and wouldn't mind just letting you take over the entire thing.

 

Well you made it first (And I've already had someone tell me that on my thread). I think you should continue to make it so people have an option of using it with characters they already made. My mod only affects new characters.

 

NOOOOOOOO
I need to know when it is so I don't start actually playing!

 

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it appears that the update has invalidated the save file - at least... when I do what I did before, it loads me in a starter ship from vanilla.

 

Did you get the newest file?

 

I decided to give this mod a go after the new patch hit, and this is what I came up with.

Behold, the U.S.C.M. Apprehension Class Prison Ship:

 

How did you get two lockers? Also, are those iron blocks between the cobblestone brick?

 

I got two lockers because the file for the mod comes with several extras of all the essential ship pieces in it (locker, teleport pad, captains chair, etc.) Also the blocks I used were "Dark Smooth SDone" (yes that's what it's called) and "Rusty Metal" I harvested them all from a USCM Penal Colony.

 

Thanks. I need someone to make a version of this with all of the Apex and Human decorative items. Those are my favorite for this sort of thing. Also, extra iron/stone/steel/all other blocks and also the metal decorative items.
I want an awesome spaceship now dangit, not next week!

 

I tried this mod out on the current build. I had no problem building my ship. That worked great.
The problem was trying to Beam down. I didn't move the transporter from its initial position.
When I tried to beam down my character would just spawn back on the ship. It was quite annoying really so I uninstalled the mod. Hopefully you can give me some advice as to what I did wrong?

 

The transporter is mostly a cosmetic object that pretty much does the same thing that the beam button does in the corner, it has no relation to your spawn position.

However, I'm not sure how you're getting this bug as I've extensively tested this with every race and had no issues like that so far.

I'll look into it and see if I can re-create your bug. Could you send me your character files in the mean-time?

Edit: I'm not getting the bug on my end, despite testing but I've noticed a few people on the forums complaining about this bug even without mods like mine.

 

I've skimmed over the thread, and I'm just wondering if there is any limit to the size of the ship. (I didn't see an answer, but if there is you can quote the post for me) My friend and I want to build some ships that could possibly be large.

 

It currently doesn't work with the new patch.
q-q

 

It should?
It works fine for me with the new patch, tho you may need to redownload the file at the beginning of the thread

 

Hm.
I'm following the exact instructions and I get no result. Just the default ship?
I guess i'll try again.

 

You need to replace your .shipworld file in the starbound/player directory with the provided file. It sounds like you're replacing something else?

 

So what's the difference between this "build your own" mod and the other one? They seem really functionally similar but a lot of people, including the OP, seem to think the other one has something over on this. What's the change?
