RELEASED FrackinUniverse (Archive)

Initially I included them so there is more than just a select few items in the press. Hasty, yes. But for the purposes of testing, necessary.

I am not disagreeing. Both of them are included as "maybes" at present for the exact reasons you have stated. Your opinion matches mine, in that both are indeed chemical processes and will therefore probably find their way back to other stations before release. I'm leaning towards chemlab for both, honestly. With altered recipes, likely.

In the end I don't think it matters one iota either way where it ends up being located, though. I think our anal-retentiveness just makes us a bit more picky about these things

 

I really love your mod so far, but unfortunately I have one little problem, one major problem, and a small suggestion which I hope would be rather easy to copy from vanilla scripts(?) for someone experienced with modding.

1. I cannot seem to find Moonstone ore or Liquid protocyte/Protocyte ore anywhere, and I'm pretty sure I have already visited all planet types added by your mod and have built all crafting stations...

2. Quite often, almost only on Unknown type planets, the game freezes block data for up to several minutes (!) when I'm close to the edge of already generated parts of the planet. I can walk around freely, but am unable to dig, place torches etc. Usually if I suicide when this happens, the game doesn't pull me back to the ship, but crashes after a minute or two.

3. It would be nice if you added some liquid interactions, like what happens with poison+water or lava+fuel(or was it oil?). Maybe have swamp water or alien juice being "upgradable" by healing water or nutrient soup(as they should be rich in organic compounds), have tar being burnable by lava, and so on.

And by the way, I'm playing on Unstable SG, windows x64, standard launch from launcher. Your mod is the only one altering world generation, AFAIK.

 

Well, if you're on unstable, don't be surprised if you have issues. As stated in the very beginning of the overview page, this mod is solely intended to run on stable.
Moonstone & Protocyte are fairly common, have a look at the overview page for more info.

 

Keep looking. Moonstone is out there. Liquid Protocuyte is not something youll find often in the wild (since it only appears in one sub-biome out of 50, and one core out of 10 or so, which only appears on two biomes). Crafting it is more reliable. Protocyte ore only appears on one world type, and this is clearly visible by it's name. Proto worlds. So yea, keep looking. If in doubt, read the biome list on the main page to learn what biomes most commonly have which ores. If you haven't travelled to a "new" area of space since installing the mod then this is likely the issue. If not, it's just bad luck (considering even vanilla moons have Moonstone now). Dying Stars are your best bet for Proto Worlds, by the way.

That happens on all planets. It's a Starbound thing, not a Mod thing. You're probably running around too fast for the rendering to keep up with. Such is life. My machine is slow as balls, and this is a semi-common thing for me.

There are a SHITLOAD of liquid interactions in the mod, dude (and I added 15 more in the last update). Every single liquid has different interactions, and a great many create a tile of some sort when contacting certain liquids. I don't see this as a valid complaint. You probably just haven't tried everything yet.



As Inny said: This mod is not tested on Unstable or Nightly. So it could act somewhat differently than usual. But the stuff you list above are largely non-issues in the first place

 

I know, I'm just mentioning them here, not complaining. I'm sorry if it looked like that.

About liquids - well, to be honest I haven't tried a lot combos yet... The one I had in mind was mostly duplicating healing water and energy-restoring soup, as they looked cool, were rather limited and were the first two interesting liquids I came across, which didn't work for me. Well, time to go experimenting

As for the loading on Unknown - now that I think about it, maybe it's caused by those large drops between layers? I guess the game cannot keep up with this vertical speed. Shame, they seem pretty cool with that design.

And by the way, thanks for the info about Dying Stars

 

dropping rapidly in any direction will cause tile generation lag, yea. Likewise if you get the speed burst tech from fu and overuse it going sideways, etc.

Most liquids wont "duplicate" , but a few will turn other liquids into themselves on occasion. Elder Fluid is especially good at turning almost anything it touches into more Elder Fluid.

 

Does anyone have coords for a Avian Airship??? I'm looking for like 4 hours and didn't find it yet!
Btw I'm playing win7x64 opengl

 

best advice: stick to vanilla planets. Far more likely to find them there, than on FU planets.

 

Yea...the "problem" is that most of planets are FU in my universe...I deleted the old universe folder, then installed the mod...so every star is full of FU planets

 

There are still no shortage of non FU planets , especially in the "vanilla" star types. Sometimes you just have to hunt to find what you are looking for. But forest, lush and desert are especially easy to find.

However, I don't know specifically what biomes the avian airship appears in. Otherwise I could tell you exactly which biomes to frequent. They DO appear on FU planets as well, of course. But I've gotten an airship on forest and desert repeatedly.

Ultimately, you are at the mercy of the worldgen. Since it is random, sometimes that makes things complicated

 

I keep finding more wooden chests than I find FU chests when I'm on FU planets and Unknown planets. Do I just have terribly bad luck? Sometimes I even end up finding the same codexes, so it gets really frustrating.
Well, I'm not trying to complain or blame you. I just want to know if I'm just having horrible luck.

 

Horrible luck indeed. I find equal measures of both, more or less. They use the same spawn rate.

 

Is there a reason a plant like Oonforta won't grow in Hydroponic Tubes?

 

Honestly no idea. Haven't planted anything in some time, and nothing since initial tests with a few plants back when I first added them.

Perhaps you don't have enough room, vertically? Without trying it I cannot confirm this, of course. But I am taking a day or two to relax before I go insane Making some new in-game objects and stuff when I have time but not coding right at the moment.

 

i planted some oonforta in hydrophonic tubes in the version before 1.4.9, so like sayter said you probably don't have enough vertical space or haven't used the hoe in them.

 

The hoe.

 

laaawwwwwl. You have earned +1 Noob Point.

 

Can you grow blex cactus seeds outside of a desert biome?

 

Well...thx anyway, afther 12 hours of my day I've finally gave up and used admin command to get it. I've searched for Alien and Tropical planets, found almost 100 (Bookmarked) and did'nt find any Avian Airship

 

Well excuuuuuse me for my literal thinking. Why the f*ck would you need to hoe a hydroponic tube?
