I mean i want to be a human but i always get a cat......but I want a....not sure what they are but they look like clouds and very huggable looking i think novakids get them. So is there anyway to pick a pet?
Well, if you install a custom ship mod (or a mod that lets you remove your tech station) you could spawn in the Novakid tech station and put it on your ship. Last I checked, ship pets are tied to your tech station, so switching it out for a different race's will give you the corresponding pet.
Choose your pet, and the number of pets. http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/purchasable-pets.2854/
I just found a way to be whatever race and get whatever pet you’d like. Step 1. Press enter and type /admin Step 2. Press enter and type /spawnitem humantechstaion ( you can altar the word “human” for whichever race the pet you’d like is acquired from ) Step 3. Go to your S.A.I.L in your ship and break it. There’s two ways to do this that I know of. You can either hit enter and type /entityeval object.smash() with your mouse hovering over your ship’s Sail, or break the walls behind it. You CANNOT have two sail in one ship the game will crash. Step 4. Place your new S.A.I.L and your pet should spawn in after you place it
