Slime biome? Oh yes.

[Seriyu]

Also yeah, I saw that mod earlier and it was looking really neat, good to see they're a bit more on top of the mod community then minecraft was!

There was a forum specifically titled "beta feedback", but now the threads there I was browsing were moved to... basically everywhere. There's two in general, one in billing... for some reason... and one in "other". Oh and the "followed threads" doesn't actually list your followed threads, just the ones that were posted in in the last few hours, so between the blank watchlist and lack of a beta-specific forum I just assumed.

So now it's back to the pile of illiterate chaos it always is over there, where I can't find anything I'm looking for to be constructive. I'm starting to see why the devs rarely ever post on their site and stick to everywhere else instead.

So the first version of the universal currency mod is done and posted.
http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/universal-currency.43448/
It works rather well and thankfully doesn't touch the player.config file that will be the focus of so many mods.

[Aklyon]

That sounds rather awesome, if it works.

I'm not very good at modding, it seems.

I accidentally my boneboo seeds, and they are still broken even after replacing my mistake with the backup I made before attempting to mod.

Anyone know how to mod plants? I haven't seen any guides for it on the official forums.

once an item becomes a generic item, it stays that way, best to back up your character before attempting to test a mod, specifically go into the starbound folder and copy the player and universe folder elsewhere.

As for modding plants, there are 2 parts of it, the seed then the plant itself, if you make a syntax error when modding then it turns the item into a perfectly generic object when you load the character. The question comes to mind what are you wanting to do with it?

I'll go into a little more detail, the seed is under the assets/object/farmable folder, the plant after its harvested is under assets/items/generic/produce.

I was looking to make it drop bones when harvested. I'm mostly just trying to learn how to mod, but I also want to make more plants to function as alternative sources of materials, such as flower petals, wood, mushrooms, and in this case bones.

ok, if you look under the boneboo folder for the seed, look at the .object file.

you should see this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

      "dropOptions" : [
        0.3,
        [
          {
            "name" : "boneboo",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "bonebooseed",
            "count" : 1
          }
        ],
        [
          {
            "name" : "boneboo",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "plantfibre",
            "count" : 1
          }
        ],
        [
          {
            "name" : "boneboo",
            "count" : 1
          }
        ]

now it can be changed to the following to achieve what you want

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

      "dropOptions" : [
        0.3,
        [
          {
            "name" : "boneboo",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "bonematerial",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "bonebooseed",
            "count" : 1
          }
        ],
        [
          {
            "name" : "boneboo",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "bonematerial",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "plantfibre",
            "count" : 1
          }
        ],
        [
          {
            "name" : "bonematerial",
            "count" : 1
          },
          {
            "name" : "boneboo",
            "count" : 1
          }
        ]

Now I'm not 100% sure if this will work as you want it to, but it should make it drop bones on harvest, whenever you add a new object in a list of {}, [] or () make sure you place a comma, this is the most frequent cause of generic objecting my items. Also make sure you check the object you want, some of them are wierd such as the name of dirt is dirtmaterial

[BlackFlyme]

Thanks, that will help quite a bit.

Though I was actually looking for the bones used to make bone blocks, not the blocks themselves. I eventually found it, in assets\items\generic\crafting in the bone.item file.

[BlackFlyme]

Boneboo DOES drop bones when harvested. I've harvested plenty and gotten small amounts of bone.

Really?

I've been running a boneboo farm for quite some time and never gotten any bones from them. Is it wild ones you're harvesting, or do you have a farm too?

Anybody else thing it is strange that all the females of all species have thinner waists and breasts? I mean they had a chance to have all sorts of castes that are somewhat new and interesting beyond typical mammalian male and female...
Or are we just used to that from every other sci fi game ever?

[Twi]

[Tnx]

Heh, would've been funny if the bird creatures had males with bigger breasts.  I think in the wild the males sometimes have bigger breasts, fancier feathers, and more vidid colors.

[BlackFlyme]

Wild ones.

Maybe it's only those which drop bones, then.

The only difference I've noted between the wild ones and the farmed ones is that the wild ones have longer growth times and this token:

"objectItem" : "bone",
