    Notice
    Voided requires TerraLib to function properly. You can find it on the Steam Workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2230165463 or on Chucklefish Forums here: https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/terralib.6055/. Alternatively, you may search for "terralib" on either of the aforementioned sites.

    Description
    Voided: Expansion Mod (or simply Voided) is the Extended Story Mod rethought from the ground up. All of Extended Story's post-game content (particularly the elemental biomes, the Bossvault, and the Supervoid) will be reworked with emphasis placed on the exploration of planetary biomes and challenging combat encounters. In addition, the main antagonist of Voided will (eventually) have a clearer presence than in Extended Story. It is currently a work in progress and only features the Ancient Stronghold as well as the Voltage and Toxic Wasteland biomes.

    This mod is designed to be primarily a single player experience, but I will note and attempt to fix multiplayer-related bugs.

    Features:
    • A new mission: The Ancient Stronghold
    • A new and challenging boss encounter
    • Ancient weapons and armor (with a new set bonus), all with a new rarity
    • Two new tech
    • The Voltage and Toxic Wasteland planet types as well as unique equipment you can get from it
    • A new dungeon you can find at the core of Voltage worlds, with a miniboss at the end of it.
    • More to come at a later date!

    Note: Every biome and mission added by Voided gives vanilla healing items cooldowns (15 seconds for medkits; 30 seconds for nanowraps and bandages). This choice was made to make Voided's combat encounters more challenging but fair.

    Installation
    Installing this mod is straightforward for the most part. Simply follow the download link, download the .pak file or the source code and place it in your "mods" folder.

    Getting Started
    Since this mod is intended to be post-game, it is recommended that you use an existing tier 6 character. To access the Ancient Stronghold, you must find and unlock its entrance at the edge of an Outsider Star system. Note: You do not need to beat the main story in order to access it.
    I recommend turning on Tutorial Messages in the Options menu because Voided adds some tutorial radio messages for the Voltage and Toxic Wasteland biomes.

    Compatibility
    Supper's Combat Overhaul causes issues with some of the enemies in Voided, especially bosses. However, Voided includes support for More Planet Info and Book of Spirits.

    It is compatible with Frackin' Universe and Extended Story.

    This mod uses the prefix "v-" in all of its IDs.

    Credits
    All custom sounds in Voided were made in Audacity using Starbound's assets and/or the following sound samples:
