What kind of mods would you like to see?

I am almost 100% sure it will be one of the first mods.

 

Anything that makes the game more difficult: More (and harder) monsters, more aggressive AI and/or weather effects. UI/Sprite replacements. Things that promote pvp gameplay and alternate gameplay styles like capture the flag would be awesome too.

 

By the time I finish Starbound (never), I'll be like, "Mods? What are mods? What is this magic you speak of!!!"

 

Speaking of magic mods... A mod to add magic into the game would be neat. I'd love to be a Glitch Wizard.

 

And now someone will build Hogwarts on a glitch planet.

 

Definitely, I just hope that the structure of the game allows us to cherry pick alien and race packs since the biggest problem with mods is just the continuity of design between the primary content and the mod content.

 

I like RPG mods. Makes the sand-box style of these games a little more gritty and Rogue-like. Probably also procedurally generated dungeons/ruins on planets to loot, complete with boss and ring to recover or w/e floats your Rogue-like fancy.

OP-weapon mod packs are fun to mess around with especially if they had mass destruction opportunities.


Probably would also like a tower-defense style mod/mode, and an expanded crafting mode.

 

If you don't know what a Tardis is, then you might have a whole world of awesome to discover.

Go forth and watch Doctor Who! Do not hesitate


Now back to the topic at hand ... A Tardis in Starbound doesn't seem right. What's next, Star Wars, and then Spaceballs? No, it's just not right.

I would like to see mods that allow for additional races, appearances, and equipment, and not just for appearances sake, but also in effectiveness. It makes the potential for a lot of balance issues, but if it's done right, it will allow for such great possibilities for unique servers that it would be a shame for such mods to NOT be added.

Beyond that, it's hard to say. There's so much about the game I don't know, and that's not just because I haven't read it all, there's a lot no one but the devs and alpha testers know about. I reserve the right to update this after beta.
