Betabound!

Betabound is a base-game enhancement mod which adds tons of content consistent with the Starbound vision throughout the entire game-- from beginning to end! Although Betabound certainly has a strong presence throughout the game, it is not an overhaul mod and will never outright replace content from Starbound. Betabound is present, but not overwhelming.

From the smallest quality of life changes to brand-new content, Betabound is a treasure trove of Starbound content!


• New mining tools! Craft them and mine, but keep an eye on their durability bar! You can use ores to repair your tools.
• New quests! Visit the Outpost and help it grow by helping those in need!
• Enhance your ship by crafting! More fuel, faster non-FTL travel, reduced fuel costs!
• Powerful food items which bestow useful status effects and instantly restore health and energy!
• Unique biome-themed weapons to add spice to your universe!
• New objects to decorate with!
• New resources with new uses! Alien Seaweed, for example, is used to make an item to keep food fresh while in the inventory.
• New tech for all existing tech slots... and a new tech slot!

[Q] Other mods focusing on beta content exist. Why should I use Betabound?
[A] Unlike those mods, Betabound asks and answers "What would it look like if it actually got finished?"

[Q] Does Betabound replace vanilla content?
[A] No. Betabound and vanilla content are seamlessly integrated with each other, offering an experience that any Starbound player can enjoy regardless if they've played the original beta.

[Q] Can I use FU with this mod?
[A] YES. Anyone that tells you this mod is incompatible with FU is a liar.

[Q] Weapons are doing an absurd amount of damage!
[A] Check your mods list for mods which increase the amount of damage done by weapons, such as "Difficulty Overhaul" or similar.
