Who is ''Avali''

[Minkki]

A lot of people are talking about him/her, who is he/she?

[Aquos]

it's a modded race since it's a very popular mod a lot of people won't them to get in to the actual game

[A Kobold]

Basically, This is Avali:
http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/avali-race-mod.998/

However, that mod has been seriously outdated and abandoned. So a bunch of other people updated it and are keeping it running:
http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/avali-triage.2852/

It's also popular enough its got its own Wikia thing, which provides lore for them:
http://avali.wikia.com/wiki/The_Official_Avali_Wiki


As much as it would benefit both the Game and the Mod if it became official, the Avali will never be intergrated (spellcheck) by Chucklefish, mainly due to legal reasons: The original creator has either pulled a dissapearing act or completely lost interest in Starbound altogether, leaving his mod to rot and be restored by the community.

Since when has that stopped them.

It's very fortunate to see a mod still being developed and maintained by a community.

[Teal Turken]

Both Chucklefish and the people running the current versions of the Avali race mod have agreed to not officially add the Avali as a race to Starbound.

I can explain the situation with the Avali race mod and it's abandonment.

When the creator of the Avali race mod first made it, it was more a sort of experiment to see what he can do with the Starbound game engine for such a complex race he made. He did not truely expect it to get this popular. Now, seeing that he has discovered that the game engine for Starbound is not as flexable as he would like, the mod maker has stopped supporting the official mod and has no plans to continue it. However, he has approved of continuing the Avali race mod's existence here and is still working with the Avali race to date. He is even preparing a overhaul of the Wiki, though no one knows when he'll be done with it.

However, since the mod maker basically owns the race itself, I don't think we'll be implmenting Avali into the main game anytime soon.

But modders havent any copyright..if the devolpers would wish to they could add every mod to the basegame without having to worry about law except the mod is based on otehr things with copyright(as exmaple the predator armour mod in xcom2)

not really, anything made for the game belongs to the game maker. its the same thing as minecraft and the mods there (they've added things from mods into the base games without problem)

i know about the minecraft thing added horses and the armor for instance from i think mo creatures, but some modders will actually lay claim to their work and i say rightfully so if it's 100% original. tends to happen in any bathesda involved modding community that some of these people will add their own assests and everything and get the rights for it. and they could have contacted the mod maker and added the forementioned horses and such. i dont know hey im just a guy who likes to admire modding and it's wonders!

i'm no fan of mods, it allows the game developer to be lazy. i mean, who needs to put in content or bug fixes when the unwashed masses will do it for you?

pure BS in my opinion. i wouldn't be suprised if in the future pc games stop being made and developers just release nothing but platforms to build on.

in all honesty there are maybe 2 games i can name where the devs stopped caring about the game got the money they wante and are activley teaching people to mod the game, space engineers those devs have not done anything significant by what i last read. game runs like ♥♥♥♥ even on good pcs and its bassically in need of modded content to be good.

but mods are what i use to bring in what i want something from another game, a better way to play, new mechanics, there are so many things modding improves apon.

but we all have our thoughts, ive honestly never heard anyone say though "i dont like modding" except on console.
