RELEASED Race Gameplay Variation 0.3.2

Question: In one of the Hylotl lorebooks (http://starbounder.org/The_Evolution_of_the_Hylotl) is written "It is still a necessity for Hylotl to breathe air, but our increased lung capacities allow for prolonged sessions of deep-sea activity"

Is the Hylotl water breathing thing an oversight or just a choice of gameplay over lore?

 

This mod was made before Chucklefish decided to implement that lore, and has not been updated to reflect that.

 

just my dumb thought, but as a being of plasma why can't I, a novakid, consume objects to use as chemical fuel? Everything burns.

But otherwise I just don't see the point to the novakid changes. You've basically given nothing and only taken away from them. There are only 2 useful kids of backpacks a light and EPPs novakids need neither in this mod. Both of those are super easy to get basic items. It's like giving a novakid a built in pistol when they are unarmed that is equal to the iron revolver. yeah its more than nothing, but 3 iron and 5 timber later and I have the same thing. little longer and I've got better than it.

I just don't really see the point of this mod, for novakids, when it just removes gameplay options from them and doesn't provide meaningful alternatives.

As for my Hylotl this seems handy and fun, albeit again there aren't enough other backpacks to make not needing the EPP very worthwhile.

 

Personally, I think floran should be extra weak to fire given their lore.

 

You should think about having the Hyloti also have faster movement underwater, since movement is severely diminished. It'd be more useful than the "breathing underwater" thing. That one feels redundant and would only be useful early game, or maybe even not at all since you will go to a moon long before you ever go to an ocean planet. Movement seems like a more optimal advantage, maybe giving them a boost not unlike the swimming module.

 

I was playing around with this mod and nothing works I took all other mods off and this mod would still not work I have no idea what to do.

 

This mod is using the old .modpak and states that it is compatible for Glad Giraffe version. My guess is that it needs updating to starbound 1.0 as from my starbound.log the file is being completely ignored.

 

Omg, this is great. I wanted to implement something like this in my racemod, do you mind if I take a peek how you made it work, @IncredibleMeh ?

 

Glitch being immune to radiation makes no sense. Computer components are generally susceptible to radiation damage, NASA has had to develop a method of radiation hardening the computer components that go on satellites and spacecrafts because traditional components aren't capable of dealing with the effects of radiation in space, and even then the hardened components aren't immune to radiation. Realistically the Glitch would crumble into bits after a very brief period in a high radiation environment.

 

hate to necropost, but... im having trouble installing the mod. i unziped it, put it in my mods folder, and it isnt working. i mean its not showing up in the little gear thing in the bottom right of the main menu.

 

Look on the article before you post. Someone answered that question. Check Dante's post, a couple lines up.

 

if i actually wanted my races to b different, i would install this right away (but i dont. even with that, its an awesome mod). 1 problem: it says Novakids can't consume food. what will u do about hunger?

 

The frackin universe guy released a frackin races mod that is up to date and essentially replaces this.

 

Frackin Races is great, using it myself. But I see a number of people have requested some kind of racial abilities that does not add new status effects (so it can be safely uninstalled)...
