okay so ive got all the required files for a new hat i assume, its got a crafting recipe and its got its own file in the hats folder. But when is start up my game i get stuck on the loading screen forever! any idea what could be causing this?
Go to your Starbound directory and open Starbound.log when you get stuck and look near the bottom of the .txt file for the error output.
Well it's not really going to be specific on what you are doing, is there an error? if so, what does it say? Just post your log or something. http://pastebin.com/ use that.
Alright i deleted all the files and it starbound starts properly so im going to try it again. Ill list what i do here. In the items directory i go into hats, then i place the .head file, the icon and the actual head image. heres the .head filed btw then i make the recipe file, i go into recipes, then into starter, and into plain heres the recipe file then i add the recipe into the player.config okay so i started up the game and... its working now except i cant craft the pighead anywhere... so yeah thats still not a thing
