Modding Discussion Mod's you'd like to see?

Not a mod per se, but a utility that eases the creation of ship blocks.png files would be nice. And something to help line up the things added in a blocks.png and your actual ship image. Or more in line with the mod idea, someone to update and create an 8 Tier version of the ECCA 832 Survey Explorer Ship mod. I loved the way that ship looked and I can't seem to get it to work at the moment.

 

This topic should be stickied I think!

 

A major quest with bosses, dungeons, and a whole separate story to the main game.

It seems to be entirely possible, however, I haven't seen any mods that add new bosses yet, so that should happen first.

Not only that, but there will definitely be complications when it comes to planing this sort of thing.

 

All I want right now is ability to place ores into soil. I was going to make an Erchius Ghost race, and for that you gotta destroy some erchius crystals. It's... hard to do when you can't even place some crystals in player's way to activate the ghost.

 

One Mod that is REALLY needed and want to see :

- Traps : craftable / placeable stuff, same for the other thingies found in the jumping puzzles ( laser , platforms , etc etc )

With those craftable traps, we can create our custom Jumping Puzzles or takeshi castle style puzzles ( similar to the CS:S mod ) where players can activate them to stop the enemies to reach the goal , protect our chests, etc etc

 

I miss being able to loot Tesla Spikes.

Also, I wish I could use those Electric Doors.

 

TANKS! JEEPS! MILITARY STUFF!

 

A mod showing to your cursor the item hold or the block count ?

Like that : http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/request-info-at-cursor.121889/

 

Another thread that Modders should have to keep an eye on : http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/starbound-the-big-suggestions-thread.43196/

Did it long time ago and updated recently, some of the suggestions can be done with mods especially the traps one I've mentioned above ^^

 

I guess a mod that disables crew uniforms, because they look terrible with custom races

 

Also, ability to Uniform Guys & Gals separately. (Can't remember if i've already Suggested this before or not... if so, my apologies... but seriously, why didn't this make it into the Base Game by default?)

Heck, maybe even Separate Uniforms for different Gender & Race at the same time!

 

A simple silly thing. the coffee liquid back.

 

I had forgotten about this Mod from before my Hiatus from this Game before Full Release... This Mod Updated or Integrated into Vanilla would be epic! Though the latter is unlikely lest the Final Fantasy Devs's Lawyers attack the Starbound Devs...

Kweh!

 

Updated version of Sectrix's Chip maker

 

Ahh, thought of another possible Mod: To be able to change the Alt Function that Highlights clickable stuff so that instead of having to hold the Button down, instead it acted like an On/Off Toggle.

Also, Lightning Planets with Threat Level Inconceivable for Max Rent! Frequent Lightning Storms, Electified Water, (Literal Item including with possible Crafting Use & the Lightning Planet having a Lightning Water Ocean for infinite of it.) Lightning Chests that could hold Blueprints for Lightning Themed stuff, including but not limited to Electrical Barrier doors, Stick of RAM, & such... & for its 'Impenetrable Core', aka this Planet's equivalent of Core Lava/Bedrock/etc., perhaps a Ginormous Hunk of Impenetrable Electromagnetic Rock/Crystal? Possible Racial Colonies that could Spawn here would be Apex & Glitch Stuff. A Magnetism-Themed Mini-Biome would be cool as well. Both Sizes of Voltips & Machine Monsters would be welcome in the Planet's Population Table too along with the RNG dudes.

Why should Fire & Ice get all the Elemental Fun? (Not sure if Poison counts as an 'Element' in this game or not... ) Some of us like Lightning & Electricity too!

Edit: Also, if there isn't one already, a Starbound ABC Music File for Crystal Battle 1 would rock!

 

@Anyone who knows enough about JSON and modding:

How possible would it be to make the player character able to crawl around blocks the same way as the Mechanical Crawler or the Tintic?

And, if so, how possible would it be to rotate the screen to match the player?

 

Dialogue options would be interesting, More unique biome generation (especially underground biomes) rather than how they're mostly just caves with different blocks, what I mean by that is sort of how in terraria the corruption biome would generate with a bunch of deep crevices. I'd like all ore spawns decreased and more unique drops and items to make exploring more interesting, stores having their inventory randomized daily, more items in stores that are worth spending pixels on, more unique and interesting tech, more dungeons and dungeon variety are always great, more crew member functions, attacks on colonies and finally a RPG mod.

 

For #1: I actually have something like this planned: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/trade-colonies.122716/#post-3000370

 

That reminds me... it drives me nuts when my damn Crew Members all Dog Pile onto the top of my Ship Storage Locker or other such thing I wanna Access but can't cause they're blocking my ability to Click it & I can't do shit about it... any Mod that could give the Player the power to do something about that situation, whether it be yelling them away, ("MOVE DAMMIT!!! ) kicking them out of the way, etc. would be a welcome addition!

 

A shincolle mod for starbound.....minecraft's is good but I'd LOVE to see it in starbound where dealing with water isn't a complete utter chore...

Plus there's potential what with crafting time and all
(though the inability to leave while something is crafting may prove a problem)....
