Read the rest of this update entry...

 

i'm in dilema, i don't know what version on the glith explorerpod i'll get, maybe u can help me

 

think 4 looks the best.

 

Yes , 2 3 or 4 , but Imo we need the gear x)

Yeah maybe 4 , but if i can say something , i think the copper part is too shiny , check the ship (with fullbright for no shadow) :



So maybe more like this ? :


Anyways your job is stunning ^^

 

i like 2 / 3 ( is same for me )
or 4 but with a little more big wheel

 

kinda wish you can use the matter manipulator while driving that thing,at least allow to dig and place blocks......would make magma planets actually worth investigating....also this isn't immune to poison, why is that ?

 

Maybe not yet.

 

in toxic planet you have 2 different things , the water ( poison) and the rain ( acid )
all vehicles take damage with acid rain ( i think have only admin immunity can protect you ( and only you not your vehicle ) for acid rain in game )

 

Ok so you ask protect agains poison + acid ? i see x)


Also in /admin you still taking damage from acid rain (like poison dot / lava swimming) , not sure about the rest , but you stay immortal even while taking fall damage superior to your max hp so its ok , try the phase mod (not sure about the name) but it allow fly so for build its usefull.


About the main subject (explorer pod) i'm amazed by the skin already so i dont really care about stats lol , but i understand you need protect specialy on hostil planet , maybe see for a crafted upgrade for the pod later ? like pod + EPP (fire) = lava pod ect , the modder will choice or not , but at the moment he mostly work on the visual side maybe (1 per race and after i dont know , i speculate x) )

 

Well aparentlly through the forum and steam the 4th model was the chosen one, iwas working on it today but cant finish cuz some personal works so i'll release it tomorrow. thank you guys for all the support its really a big incentive to keep with the mod, i never thought that so many people would like the mod this much.. thanks again

 

No problem , happy yo help you ^^

(Also i dont want give you a false hope , but i'm almost sure they will be added in the official version soon or late).

 

love this mod.


Think it would make more sense if the pods come with your ship on the last upgrade, like do the final upgrade and in one of the new rooms is a pod bay (can be removed and moved) which gives you your races one, you would have to un dock it, to get it in ball form.

would be a nice alternative to buying, you get high enough a license and they give you a pod you can just use....though buying should always be an option especially if you don't like your races one.

sorry overthinking but here are some ideas including the one above.

1. make a pod bay for ships, these can be used to enter a planet with the pod at mid atmosphere, instead of on the ground with the pod.

2. add a module slot that allows you to equip bonuses to them, examples being mining lasers, or spare seats. (so you can bring your crew down to, or have allies in it.)

 

I think it fits in nicely with my ship

((don't mind that Kluex Centry))

 

Will you end up making race mod ones? Like for example the Avali race? Besides that, this is a very nice mod and I'll be using the Hylotl one for now!

 

thanks for glitch steam update

next floran or apex ? the bet is open !!

 

I really hope its floran, as well they have a tendancy of taking bits of other races stuff and sticking them together with plants.

that and I can't see apex looking like anything other then a shuttle pod off of star treck.

 

Don't worry all vanilla class will have their pod i think ^^.


But the Glitch was the most wanted for me

Also it's updated ? , the last added is novakid as i can see on the overview page , so glitch isnt here yet ?

 

@Shadox2.0 is update on steam workshop

for now i play avali for try ( is fun ^^ ) but normally i play the apex mad scientist but like floran too^^

 

Ah ok , because i NEVER use steam workshop lol (atleast for starbound) , like i modify all myself i stay like that , its like for Fallout , i've started using a mod loader so i stay with that , but for things like minecraft/starbound it's handmade , i'll wait for update on forum.

(and tbh , steamworkshop is shitty , for every game , the only true way to remove things you instal is uninstal everything in local file then reinstal the game :/) , i've undestand that after removing 70giga of useless things from workshop with ARK...

 

not all is bad with workshop , not need go read / refresh all time the forum for see if mod is updated
when you use a lot of mod, workshop ( or nexus manager ) is a good tool for save your time
but is true we cant modify them mod in workshop , but if starbound workshop uploader dont auto pack the mod or/and if starbound load mod priority loading the workshop mod BEFORE the starbound directory Mod ..... could have change.
