In the meantime, it seemed about time for our first post-1.0 community\u00a0spotlight! The Starbound community is full of creative and talented folks! At the office we’re always stumbling across amazing\u00a0community creations and linking them to each other, and occasionally I like to\u00a0round them up and do a blog\u00a0post showing off our favorites.\u00a0Today we’re\u00a0gonna take a look at some cool mods!

<\/a><\/p>\nIf you’ve been playing Starbound for a long time, you’ve probably<\/em> already heard of\u00a0Frackin’ Universe<\/a>\u00a0by Sayter and renbear. It was one of the first ever (and might be one of the biggest ever?) Starbound mods! FU\u00a0adds\u00a0new biomes, expands Starbound’s crafting system, adds science<\/em>, microdungeons, custom crew members, armors, weapons, new monsters, tiles and hundreds of other assets to the game. It\u00a0even comes packaged with\u00a0two other mods – Starbooze and Bees! – which add, respectively, booze and bees.<\/p>\nIt’s a massive mod and make a lot of significant changes to Starbound, so it’s best for players who have spent a lot of time playing vanilla Starbound and are looking to shake things up a whole lot.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nEver find yourself crawling back up to the surface of a planet, overencumbered by hundreds and hundreds of tiny gnomes clinging to your pant legs?\u00a0Doctor Ragnarok<\/a>‘s got the cure! Now you can put those balls of gnomes to good use by turning them into lots of tiny gnome houses, tiny gnome clock towers, tiny gnome apartment blocks and tiny gnome community centers!<\/p>\nOr rather… you’d bring the tiny gnomes up to the surface with you for the purpose of constructing buildings\u00a0that they could live in… not to actually… turn them\u00a0into<\/em> tiny buildings. I think. I hope. Let’s move on!<\/p>\nExplorerpod<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"explorerpods2\"](\"https:\/\/playstarbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/explorerpods2.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nExplorerpod<\/a> by Lukky adds small exploration pods based on Starbound’s ships, so you can\u00a0look super cool while you’re zippin’ around planets!\u00a0You can purchase the pods at Penguin Pete’s Vehicle Lot starting at 35,000 pixels. :)<\/p>\nI really love how well these designs work as miniature versions of the player’s ship!\u00a0I downloaded this mod just to check it out for this post, but I loved the Hylotl pod so much that I think<\/em> I’m just gonna\u00a0keep using it.<\/p>\n[COLORBOUND]<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"colorbound_Avian_Sheet\"](\"https:\/\/playstarbound.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/colorbound_Avian_Sheet.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWe’ve aimed to give players a lot of character customization options in Starbound, but [COLORBOUND]<\/a>\u00a0by Seraphi<\/a> aims to add a\u00a0lot<\/em> more. If your OC requires a specific shade of pastel pink or minty green or electric blue, [COLORBOUND] 2016<\/a>\u00a0probably has you covered. If not, then [COLORBOUND]\u00a02015<\/a>\u00a0(a separate mod with 635\u00a0different<\/em> colors) and [COLORBOUND] 2014<\/a>\u00a0(with 900 more<\/em> colors) surely do! If you still can’t find the color you’re looking for, then I am not sure the\u00a0color you are looking for exists.<\/p>\nMemento Mori<\/a><\/h2>\n
