My Enternia

I made this little mod mainly for myself, but decided to share with everybody.
This mod adds a new race, 2 new planets with their own biomes, monsters, many hazards and treasure. The mod adds new unique weapons, armor, cosmetics, augments/collars, spawners, codexes, throwables and other equipment.
All new content can only be found on those 2 planets, is fairly balanced, and thus doesn't interfere with normal gameplay!
Check out the end of the description for a rundown of new content. Or, even better, check out the freshly new Wiki!

THIS MOD NOW HAS A WIKI! It's very extensive and contains full in-detail info on just about anything mod-related, including modding information.

Version 2.0: The Alta Race is out! Check out the changelog for details.
The full list of changes can be found in the changelog file on the GitHub page or in the Steam changelog page.

Where to start

To explore the worlds added by this mod, try to find new planet types around tier 3+ stars!

To start progressing in the mod content, craft an  Alta Crafting Station! It should be available at the tier 2 Inventor's Table.
From there, you'll be able to craft:

  • mod equipment (armor, weapons, throwables, etc);
  • other mod crafting tables;
  • all mod items that can normally be only found through loot (requires max tier).

Other crafting tables include:

  •  Alta Constructor for crafting objects/decorations/traps (upgrading to max tier allows you to even craft natural objects and loot tables);
  •  Alta Datacenter for crafting codexes the tell you the lore and/or explain how certain mod items work (highly recommend to read them so you don't have to visit the wiki);
  •  Alta Upgrade Station for upgrading some mod items in exchange for  Gheatsyn Shards.
  •  Deprecation Station is a tiny crafting table that allows you to convert deprecated items/objects to new ones, or exchange Perfectly Generic Items for different presents.

Compatability & Information For Modders

  1. Doesn't require any other mods to work;
  2. Should be FU-compatible;
  3. The mod uses regular Starbound folder structure so should be easy to navigate and integrate with;
  4. All IDs added by the mod have a ct_ prefix to make it impossible to conflict with IDs from other mods;
  5. The mod tries to explore somewhat unusual concepts with unique names so there should be little to no idea overlap;
  6. If you want to make a mod on top of this and want to learn modding-related features of this mod, visit this page: My Enternia Wiki: Modding;
  7. Support for mods like IFD and MPI is done by generating patch files using python scripts. To learn more, visit My Enternia Wiki: Modding - Mod Support.
