I ask this in all honesty: Screenshots of what, exactly? The code? The .csv files? The tables represented by a third-party spreadsheet editor? The results of a modified table shown in Starbound even though it wouldn't be representative of what the utility/mod does out of the box? I really don't know what I could show that would be informative and not misrepresentative of what my work does, with respect to the typical Starbound mod user.

Before and after shots of the distribution in game may help. Get a really extreme after, though.

[Leyic]

Then I'd have to deal with people who install the util without reading the instructions, expecting that extreme distribution out of the box, only to be disappointed when they find nothing changed. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but they may not be the words you intend to say.

[Leyic]

Screenshot for B12. I'm still reluctant to put this up on Chucklefish or Nexus.

[MaximumZero]

Yeah, I think that'd do it. The planet is now diamonds.

[Leyic]

...and coal and iron. Not that it has to be, which is the point. The user can change the distribution frequencies to whatever they'd like. Want less surface ore and more deep ore? Doable. Want loads of coal on the surface but nothing else? Doable. Want all ores on a Threat 1 world? Doable. Want to change the distributions of ores added by mods? Doable. (Can't change previously visited worlds, but that's a Starbound thing.)

[BigD145]

Delete the file for that world?

[Leyic]

Well, yes, if you don't mind losing any and all changes you've made to that world.

[majikero]

That's perfect to those who want to skip the grind. Well, short of removing the boss items from crafting recipes.

[Niveras]

No, really?

I just discovered how to mod guns to fire odd projectiles. Like dragon fire... or meteors. Yes, meteors. I have guns that fire meteors now. It is as amazing as it sounds.

And the best thing is, it might just be compatible with vanilla servers. Obviously, restraint should be exercised, but come on, meteor guns.

You should create a tech that launches a meteor downward, and boosts you upward. Call it a "Meteoristic Booster"...

[Tarran]

Hahahah, sorry, not at the moment. What I did was extremely easy. I don't actually have any serious modding experience to do something like that. Not yet.

Also, yes. Those special guns are compatible with vanilla servers. It is a bit alarming that that's the case, as large meteors can destroy anyone's hard work in mere seconds. But, then again, if someone was seriously determined to grief here, they would've already figured out how to mod guns to fire large meteors anyway, so I don't think there's too much danger at the moment...

[Darkmere]

There's already a mod that lets you call in orbital strikes. Simulating mass driver bombardment is the next logical step.

I'm making great progress on my house. Now that I don't have to fear meteors, I'm really enjoying it. Also the glowing rain I sometimes get is just beautiful.

Unfortunately Tellemurius' server is down at the moment, so I can't work on my library. Looking forward to that project, though.

Spoiler: Screenies of my base. (click to show/hide)

Current state of my house. I'm currently working on sorting all my stuff into appropriate containers so I can find things without searching everywhere. Clothes in the wardrobe, weapons in the dresser, food in the kitchen... The water in the attic is due to my flooding problem. I think I fixed it, but I'm leaving that there for now because it kind of looks cool to have a little swimming pool in my house. I'm definitely going to make use of the heavy rain on this planet soon to build something involving water...



I'm so excited I managed to capture the lightning in that shot. That storm lasted ages and the water kept coming in under the door, causing the cooking pot to pop. As you can see in the first screen shot, I fixed that by raising the pot up on a platform.



Glowing rain falling on my rainbow wood farm. My next project will be a rainbow tower... Need lots of wood!
