Just note that “loose” items/blocks fall to the bottom of the screen, and walking onto a spot without background tiles puts you in an airless, zero-g environment. Despite floating in deep space, you are free to destroy the walls and background tiles of your ship at any time there are no decompression mechanics in Starbound. Incidentally, you can construct your dream ship out of any materials lying around. This allows you to skip a huge block of vanilla Starbound progression and immediately construct a ship of your dreams. When it asks whether you want the default ship or the Build Your Own Ship (BYOS) option, choose BYOS. Great for off-loading one of the dozens of new ore types introduced in FU after coming back aboard your ship. They added a button to automatically stack anything you’re carrying into an existing stack in a container. In particular, Improved Containers will change your Starbound life. Then, just when you think you’ve had enough, come back, load the mod, and play what feels like Starbound 2.0.īeyond FU itself, I highly recommend the following (compatible!) mods: It is not recommended for a first playthrough – go beat the base, vanilla game first. Frackin’s Universe (FU) is a Steam Workshop mod that revitalizes (and complicates) the entire Starbound experience.
