RELEASED FrackinUniverse (Archive)

oh, you aren't wrong. But I am a stubborn bastard! STUBBORN, I TELL YOU!

But really, ALL of you are beta testers right now

Though if you're offering.....*wink*

 

THANKS FOR VOLUNTEERING ME, FREEZY.
Though Freezy's right, I would.

 

Fine by me. I'll get a test release ready tomorrow

 

Where exactly does one find helium? Is it underground?

 

Underground on a few biomes, yes. Metal and Ice moons are a good bet.

 

Ok, thank you!

 

Don't know if its my game or because of this mod it's the only one I'm using but I had to delete my universe twice because my starting world was very er.... High lvl.... xD

 

Your starting world should not be anything but normal. I don't understand why that happens to some people. I've created literally 200 characters to test this mod since RC01, and not once have I had this happen. Every time , its a normal garden world.

I haven't even edited the difficulty level of Garden worlds. Therefore it shouldn't ever be anything but a threat level 1. You will have planets in your SYSTEM that might be different difficulty levels, yes. But the starting world "should" always be a Garden (lush). [DOUBLEPOST=1427295746][/DOUBLEPOST]

Those interested in testing the current update as it's being made:


https://github.com/sayterdarkwynd/FrackinUniverse_RC

click that bad boy right there. Click Download Zip. Tada. You'll need to manually drag shit out to where it goes, since the naming structure of the folder is different (or delete the FU folder, drag this into the mods folder and then rename it. Whatever)

The biome underground adjustments are in for testing now, and thus far seem to provide a lot more ore for use.

Other changes:

- removed protocite bar from the extractors. they were causing conflicts because they shared recipes with the fission furnace. Those of you not seeing Proto Bars on your fission furnaces should see them now.

- some fixes to quest text and altered some rewards. You should now get enough helium3 to create a helium3 canister without needing to hunt for your first puddle of helium3, as it can be a bit elusive. This allows you to create the Fission Furnace without massive exploration time.

- fission furnace now needs steel instead of durasteel, allowing it to be built much sooner and opening FU crafting up a bit before hitting a later tier.

- fixed the cell gun unlocking with cell matter. i had the wrong item name in there.

- underground subbiomes and underground biomes have altered ore selections now, which should make life a LOT easier when hunting for special FU ores. Long story short: pretty much all of them now have selections of FU ore. The ore selection can vary, because that’s what underground biomes are for, but you’ll always find an FU ore underground (specifically the rarer ones)

- NEW terrain generators for added variety

- Primeval Forests no longer generate poison pools




In the works:

Threat level changes to biomes (numbers are its range with the new values i'll be adding)

Black Tar effect reduced, and duration reduced
Sulphuric Acid damage increased by 25%
Bio Ooze damage increased by 25%
Liquid Nitrogen damage increased by 30%

 

Are you using Mysterious Stars or Prismatic Stars? That would be why. It does that to me too and I kind of like it because it forces me to think and survive... only downside? No iron to start with...

 

He said he's using no other mods in the text you quoted Unless he is mistaken, of course.

 

loving the mod alot.! wish there was a server for it.

 

Okay folks:

https://github.com/sayterdarkwynd/FrackinUniverse_RC

PLEASE test. I've rewritten literally every underground biome distribution, added some new ones, and fixed a glaring issue I hadn't even noticed till today. In any case, you should find a VASTLY improved underground selection due to proper subbiomes loading down there.

 

I like this mod, add some good factors :d. Good work.

 

Test has been updated with additional goodies.

 

That's right, lads and lasses. Finally getting to fixing up the parallax backgrounds. Check out that lovely arboreal ! awwwwwww yea!


Next up... uh.. 20 others. Lol. Granted, not all of them need it. But any that do will be adjusted

 

Hi Sayter,

Gotta say, this mod is amazing. There is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this and it shows. I'm excited to see the new RC when it gets posted to your tattoo website for download!

I was poking around github, and correct me if I'm wrong but almost EVERYTHING looks to be in JSON. I have fun making utilities but I don't want to re-invent the wheel - are you editing/creating these files by hand or using some sort of visual editor? If there isn't an easy to use editor, I'll toss one together. It's self serving as I'd get more FU updates quicker

Best,
Bill

 

I do everything by hand. If I need a new file, I copy/paste another of teh same type (ie: blah.sword, or blah.terrain) and then change the file name and contents as-needed. No need for an editor. I work in Sublime Text 2 which has all I need, including syntax options for json

 

I just checked out that editor - it looks sweet! Also, you might have some problems getting to Github today due to a DDOS attack. I can't post the ycombinator link I found from reddit due to lack of post history, but it's probably obvious

 

that just proves how awsome you are sayter

 

I know question is silly - but where to craft helium-3 ? Or at least where to find it?
