Disclaimer: Installing FU is a one-way trip. FU will affect your game universe and ALL characters.

Note: Uninstalling the mod will cause crashes, unless you wipe your universe and player folders. This is not avoidable. Be sure to back up your universe and player folders before installing.

Frackin Races is not compatible, as it is already included. If you install it as well, you will crash.

Error reports will be much easier to fix if you provide a link to starbound.log file. How to do that?
  • Go to starbound/storage/starbound.log
  • Open that with text editor like Notepad
  • Copy and paste its contents to pastebin.com
  • Report with the link to that pastebin

starbound.log helps us to detect what is the CAUSE of your error.



The largest mod for Starbound, FrackinUniverse combines new biomes, a completely overhauled crafting system, science, research, monsters, tiles and hundreds of other assets to the game. Nearly every major game system is changed.

Q: How do I tell if it's working?
A: Quite simple. When you launch starbound, look at the main menu screen. Do you see "Powered by Frackin Universe"? If so, you're good to go!

Q: Will this work on a server?
A: Read : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=734496146&searchtext=Frackin+Universe

Q: How do I run a server?
A: Read : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735510285

Q: Do I need to delete my characters and universe before I start? Will it work with the character I already have?
(or any possible variation of this question)
A: No, you do not.
However, you will need to travel a fair ways away on your starmap in order to generate the new biome types. Generally a few seconds will do. So yes, it will work with your existing character. I recommend a clean universe, personally, but that's only if you absolutely want to have FU planets right near your starting location.

Q: I seem to be taking forever to generate my starting planets. It's in warp for like...ever.
A: Starbound is generating a universe and looking for a starting system that fits exact specifications. Because FU adds so many biomes it increases the time it takes to find the setup. I recommend visiting the Science Outpost when this happens, which can be triggered from your shiplocker items. By the time you come back you'll have your starting planet visible and a quest to begin!

Q: Where do I find (ITEM NAME)?!?!?!
A: Everything has a source. You just need to figure out what that source is. That's part of the mod. Exploration, experimentation...just seeing what sort of things lead to others and eventually ending up with a hard-core science lab. The wiki link given on this page right after the FAQ is a good source of information.

Q: Does FU add quests/missions or bosses?
A: Yes

Q: Does FU affect the main storyline or game progression?
A: No. The only true progression change is with EPP packs (see above sections for info on that). Otherwise you can progress exactly as normal through the base game.

Q: I can't find something on the Wiki
A: The wiki is player maintained. So, if you find something missing you can feel free to add it in.

Q: My EPP pack isn't working
A: Yes it is. Read the mod description information above for more details about how they operate now.

Have you done all of the starting quest chain? You can't get into the cave dungeon until you complete them.
Mipes May 28 @ 5:24pm 
im on the starting planet and it says go to the cavern to investigate energy source but it says i need a key and the weird animal in the science station is saying the same stuff

pav2108: you are 99% incorrect in how they operate. They are random, every time. Getting the same one is simply a fluke of luck.

TouToTheHouYo: That is literally how steam mods work. All steam mods go there. You arent supposed to adjust where its located.

@koldmana we are literally in the same boat. amazing work Sayter

Possible issue: When I downloaded the mod through Steam it didn't install to the Starbound mods folder but instead to Steam / workshop / content / 211820 / 729480149. I had to manually copy / paste the .pak file to the Starbound mods folder. Dunno if there's a way to fix the directory discrepancy through Steam or not.

I am 99% sure that this enchanted testing room has been added by the mod. Just wondering if anyone had a similar bug?
Sayter  [author] May 20 @ 9:17pm 
pav2108: not in any way, shape or form related to FU.

Jumping in to thank you Sayter for creating Frackin Universe, that's it :)
