RELEASED [TUT] Changing Platinum to Titanium Progression

In the current build of the game the current platinum progression requires you to visit Sector X or to farm planets for chests. I got tired of farming for chest and rathered to create a small recipe change. Not a big mod but if anyone is as annoyed by platinum as I am they should enjoy this.

NOTE: AFTER THE BALANCE CHANGES IN A FEW DAYS THIS WILL BE UNNEEDED HOPEFULLY

1. Navigate to your Starbound Directory.


2. Navigate into Starbound\assets\player and open the file with your favorite text editor.


3. Go into the blueprint section of the text editor and add this line into the tier 1 section.

Code:

{ "item" : "platinumbar" },

If you add that line to the bottom of tier 1 make sure you get rid of the comma at the end of the code and move the comma up a line.


4. Navigate to Starbound\assets\recipes\tier1\metalworkstation


5. Create a new txt file in that folder, name it whatever.


6. Paste this into the text document

Code:

{
  "input" : [
    { "item" : "steelbar", "count" : 2 },
    { "item" : "coalore", "count" : 5 }
  ],
  "output" : {
    "item" : "platinumbar",
    "count" : 1
  },
  "groups" : [ "metalworkstation", "all" ]
}

7. Go to file, save as, drop down the save type as menu and set to all files. Name the file platinumbar.recipe and save.


8. Start Starbound and visit a metalworking station and you should be able to create Platinum Bars.

This idea can basically be adapted to any item.

If you create your own crafting recipe -
- Make sure you place the blueprint into tier 1 otherwise your character will not know it automatically.
- The number after "count" : in the code is the required materials needed to craft the item listed after "output" :.
- "groups" : is what bench is required, you'd have to bring up another recipes to make sure you get the name/string correctly.
