    A bit of a suggestion here regarding the lore and theme...
    Since they are essentially entities composed of data in a sapient and solid form, maybe you should base it around that. (Like TRON... Or something super cyberpunky)
    For example, the various materials could be different sizes of compressed data caches, starting with tier 0 being "bit", tier 1 being "Byte", then "Kilobyte", "Megabyte" ,"Gigabyte", "Terabyte", "Petabyte", "Exabyte", and "Zettabyte". And your tools could be ".zip drills" "datamine pick" "Trojan swords" "worm spears" "hax axe" "virus daggers" and etc. (and your glo bro could be a living byte of data compared to yottabyte a Nexan)

    :chrono::idea::saywhat::wot::cry::cool:- My feels right now!

    I love your idea so much that I am going to make it happen!! @Jareix Cryvix you sir, are a legend.
    Expect a release tomorrow for name changes and slight sprite adjustments. However my "Holo-Collector" will still have light as a dependency to produce "Raw Data" but I might change it's name to "Data-Extractor"

    If you want to write up what you would like the Lore to be, feel free to message it to me, and I think I'd like to change the Race's name so feel free to make suggestions on that
    Thanks Jareix

    haynesy, would you mind if I took a stab at writing Lore for the origin of the Nexi?

    I can help you out if you like.


    Now, we want to try to be careful about that tron lore, as I think the Elunites are using that theme...you could try to merge them into cyberpunk though.

    Or, an even better idea is to make them incredibly radical 80s cyberpunk (like blade runner)

    80's Cyberpunk sounds good. Relten I would love it if you were able to get this compatible with the latest version, as you may or may not know when the devs updated starbound they added in the requirement for vcredist 2015, it won't install on my computer so it's pretty much useless at the moment. So yeah I'd love it if you could, would be greatly appreciated

    Just an observation, but the Kirhos are also doing the 80s cyberpunk theme. Elunite is more of a Tron theme though.
    If I could suggest a theme, try something retrofuturistic. As in, the future, but imagined by someone in the 1950s for example. Or dial back to the future of the Victorian era, even.
    But then again, similar theming is also fine.

    Well... It seems to me that the Elunites are mostly going for the modernistic aesthetic of TRON legacy... I was thinking something a bit closer to something like the game TRON2.0 but unique in its own right... So maybe based around the concept of de-digitalized data and technology but maybe a bit aesthetically closer to classic TRON. (But once again, unique in its own right... Especially with the lore... Maybe with the SAIL being closer to the MCP or a literal byte of data rather than the elunite's morbis. Light disks would probably be unnecessary... Maybe floppy disks for main crafting? Those were used in the seventies right? )

    Yes, floppy disks were used in the seventies :rofl: They were also used up until the advent of USB, which if I remember correctly happened around 2000.

    I remember when floppies were cool....

    :rofl: So do I, my first computer came with a floppy disk drive and a cd drive and nothing else.

    CD drives were not invented yet when I had my first computer.

    I'm still playing the original "Rise of the Triad" off of floppy disk. I also played myst on the original iMac. Favorite age was definitely the selenetic age. Loved that maze puzzle.

    i had an idea that may help with the look of the character.....i don't know if you are aware of a game called warframe but if you look up the name "cephalon" you will see computer AI with different prism like looks i thought they may act as a base for an original character model. more future like and less humanoid. i don't know, its your mod you do what you want. i just thought they would make a good base model for your race.

    from yours truly
