RELEASED FrackinUniverse (Archive)

my unknown planet i just visited, part way around, i basically fell for 3-4 biome changes then landed on an ocean floor. given previous talk about hollow planets, i think this was one of them, lol. had to dig to the core to get out(well or die someway) as there was no way back off the planet once you fell down.

 

Yea, hollow planets are tricky. I love that Unknowns are so incredibly random. Makes things really, really interesting. And sometimes absolutely, insanely dangerous.

But usually worth the risk.

And @Learner: thanks for that. That was brilliant and fun to read







edit: Just noticed that bee spawns (and many others for that matter) are far too common still. I'll adjust the rates significantly. Spawn rates are tricky.

 

There's something wrong with the Science Outpost. It's taking me to my ship.

 

ill take a peek. error log would help though...


edit: yea, no issues on my end here. Going to need a log.

 

You said you removed cultists from primeval, right? I found a shielded dungeon on a primeval world early on, so will that be ok once I download the latest version? I figure it would be since the planet's already gen'd, but I just wanted to make sure.

 

is there any servers that use this mod?

 

yea itll be fine[DOUBLEPOST=1441969212][/DOUBLEPOST]

No idea. I don't really do multiplayer anymore. You'd have to ask around.

 

Live on Github

added 3 new blocks: Titanium Wall, Speed Block and Jump Block. The last two require Titanium Wall and other resources to build. They are incredibly useful. Pick up a fission furnace to unlock the recipes.

added FU original (thanks, @dasmole for the art and code!) fleshleech monster to bloodstone and atropus

removed poptop from spawns for now, till I can fix its spawn behavior

heavily reduced FU monster spawn rates

 

Might I throw out a few long range suggestions?

StarBooze is open source now, and it appears that other projects to modernize it have stalled completely (one has been idle for over 3 months.) Might I suggest that as a target to assimilate into your greater borg of mods?

Secondly, as a purely, very long range goal, will there be a power system akin in ISaidNo's Science mod or the Starfoundry mod of old that could be implemented? It would incentiveize building an actual science base on a planet rather than just having an amalgamation of lab equipment on your ship.

 

I considered starbooze, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the science in the mod. That said, including it verbatim as it was is easy enough since it doesn't do anything inherently complicated, code-wise. I already have most of the plants from it within the mod anyhow...so it would not be a stretch. So I may do that.

As for the Power Generation ...it's been planned for a long time for FU. The issue is working out how to integrate it without "forcing" people to have to use it. Not everyone is wiring-savvy, and not everyone wants to refuel machines constantly. So it's a matter of balancing these aspects of play with the complicated nature of the wiring. That's not a "no" by any stretch. It's still in the plans! I just need to work it allll out.

 

O man, it would be some epic stuff if you could tap into a lake of lava for power (or, even better: the core lava)

 

I'd prefer using the suffering of gun-toting raptors as fuel... but yes.

 

I like that idea, something akin to the pipe block system of StarFoundry, where you could use said pipes to transfer fluids, and with that, it was possible to do things like thermo-electric generators using lava and water. It'd would be very interesting to see something like that here. Doesn't even involve wire.

 

yea, i dont think wiring is the answer. too much "work" for even basic mod functionality. plus youd be unable to access any content until you get the wiring tool anyhow. nope.

 

Wiring can come later to add things like turning on/off the generators.

 

yea, and none of it needs to be "essential" that way. Everyone wins.

 

PGI in an Elder Altar again... I thought this was fixed?

 

Hmm... Mini natural dungeon on biomes? Holes.

No, seriously. A large, deep hole in the ground, or even better, in the OCEAN can lead to some really curious things.

 

cant fix it without an error log. just means a typo in an item name. Without the log I have no way to know what item, guy.

 

Working on it. Windows has decided "what are .txt files lol?" so it's being stupid. The error I see when I open the log is

[02:29:58.879] Error: Could not instantiate item '[elderspear-recipe, 1, {}]'. (RecipeException) No such item 'elderspear-recipe'
