Am I the only one or is Frackin Universe gone?

I recently re installed the game, and for some odd reason, I can't seem to find Frackin Universe anywhere on the workshop.

it got taken down because of plagiarism. one of the owners of stolen content in the mod found out and filed a report.

Which one in particular, if you know?

I was unaware of this until seeing this post.

i can't remember the name of the mod, but i think it had something to do with liquid pumps? i think there was a reddit post on r/starbound about the whole issue or something - i don't really frequent reddit but someone said smth about one on FU's page before it got taken down

It was a bit more innocent than Mozart is making it sound to be.

The modder in question had been gone for 4 years, came back, wanted his mod removed. He contacted Sayter and filed a report, and Sayter got into contact with him and happily removed the offending code and modwork, substituting his own to do the job instead. The actual issue has been resolved.

WHY it went down was entirely Steams fault. The DMCA, by the time it came through, mostly came down on a resolved issue. So its pretty much guaranteed to come back in a week to nine or so days. Dont think Sayters stolen content for a long time either, he tends to ask permission these days. This was very likely a piece of code he missed from the earlier days. I remember that mod being in there for a very long time when he picked it up.
