Separating the FU worlds into their own stars might help distinguish them from the vanilla content, but then it makes them feel separate from the vanilla game. Several of the planets work very well orbiting vanilla stars, after all.

 

That would be amazing, I would absolutely love to know when I'm stepping into FF territory and when I'm hunting in vanilla territory, it would make finding needed biomes(both FF and vanilla) so much easier and it would be a huge quality of life/play improvement.

I wish I could help with playtesting and such.

 

Make custom stars. black holes and strange stars would be nice. But keep FU worlds spawning in vanilla stars. If FU planets were only in custom stars it would break immersion. A list of custom stars that would be interesting to add.

Wolf Rayet stars
something like eta carinae.
strange stars
neutron stars
brown dwarfs
neutron stars

These should be more rare than others star types except for brown dwarfs. Brown dwarfs should be as common as red dwarfs.

 

I think Sayter already said there were enough varieties of star. Besides, there's Mysterious Stars and Prismatic Stars mods as well. (EDIT: Durr... didn't read the thread's past few replies before alexmepr's. I R Smert. Ignore this post)

 

oh id never totally remove them from the vanilla systems. But some would only spawn in FU star types, to make them less common overall.

 

I thought as much. I just wanted to bring it to your attention anyhow. Keep up the good work.

 

For instance, certian biomes work well with vanilla stars.

Gentle - Ice Moon, Metallic Moon, Crystal Moon, Proto World, Rainforest

Eccentric - Rainforest, Bog, Crystal Moon, Wasteland, Gelatinous, Primeval Forest

Frozen - Ice Waste, Nitrogen Sea

Fiery - Sulphuric, Infernus

 

If you're looking for new star types to add, this outdated mod has quite a few ideas:

Hey. I've discovered something slightly weird in the FF biomes, and I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it my gut says "no." So I figured I'd report it.

On the FF moon types (Crystal Moon/Frozen Moon), there's a particular type of sub-biome/minidungeon that spawns: an abandoned lunar base. However, I've noticed that the world spawning around these bases gets a little funky. In particular, large chunks of regular biome tend to spawn above them, as floating islands. These chunks tend to be very large, sometimes running the length of a significant portion of the base dungeon/biome. It feels a little weird, and it can make navigating the planet especially tricky. If you accidentally fall off what seems to be a normal chunk of biome, only to land on an "underground" moon base, the lack of background blocks makes getting back up difficult without building your way back up. On one such planet, I also experienced a weird glitch where falling off into one of these "underground" biomes caused my spawn point on that planet to change, but I sadly can't find the planet anymore where this happened and didn't think to report it until now.

 

thats a dungeon issue. IT's a vanilla biome and was intended for asteroids. I intend to fix it.

 

Speaking of asteroids, given how the changes to the asteroid field biome crippled the Space Wreckage biome, any plans to save it, or will it be scrapped?

 

both. the Wreck dungeon will be duped and reworked by me to serve the same purpose, but on planets

 

So the debris field biome is gone now. Good to know. Do you have a list of biomes that will be added, or are you keeping that a secret?

 

its not a secret, no. I'm simply not decided on all of them yet.

Ice/Fire is a foregone conclusion. It's asked for more than any other one. So that one is up next. It's technically already in, but not activated yet.

 

Right. And you've still got my big list of suggestions from way earlier. Guess we'll see what you and I agree on in time.

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa.....why was this mod and the Creative Mode Mod removed from the featured mods list? No mod deserves to be up there more than these two.

 

They're on a random rotation, I think.

 

Creative Mode sucks in comparison to iLikeCheating, so maybe that is why?

As for FU... not sure.

 

They are no longer in the featured section at all, if you find them in their respective subsection they are no longer marked as featured.

Even assuming that you liking that other mod for some reason was a reason.....iLikeCheating isn't featured so I don't see how it would be a reason for Creative Mode being removed......so there was no 1 for 1 trade there. iLikeCheating has some neat features but it's no replacement for the ability to spawn whatever I want and multiply things.....especially rare, uncraftable, hard to find blocks.....and sometimes you need thousands upon thousands of those.....can't be a creative mod replacement without the ability to do that.

Plus Creative Mod has the enormous benefit of being compatible with other major mods.

 

Difference between Creative Mode and iLikeCheating is that Creative Mode is incompatible with vanilla multiplayer and iLikeCheating is not.

Oh, and ILC has far better sorting.

And that I even have to tell you this means you are just like all the other people who blindly fawn over Creative Mode when superior alternatives do exist.
