Intro
Hello Starbounders! This is my humble guide of humbleness. This will teach you the basics of playing floran, and roleplaying Floran. So enjoy!
Florans and you
You are a human. Not a Floran. Well, in real life. But this isnt real life is it? So lets make it real!
Florans are a hyper-aggressive tribal civilization of plant people who salvage technology to enable space travel. Introducing space travel to the Florans primative way of living had the undesirable effect of Floran colonies spanning across the solar system, each with their own beliefs and levels of aggression. The cause of their agression to all non-plant speciese may be due to the fact of their poor knowledge of all other species.
Roleplaying
  • If your a roleplayer, this will be some what helpfull.
  • Always talk with a lisssp like thisss. All s'es are stresssed.
  • Florans want to stab everything they see.
  • Florans are hunters.
  • Florans love plants.
  • Florans dont wear armor often.
  • Florans dont often use guns, because lets not forget how primative they are, they might on a blue moon.
  • Florans are stealthy.
  • Florans eat lots of meat. LOTS. None of them are vegaterian, because thats cannibalism.
  • Florans hate Hylotl. Why? Well, lets just say the Hylotl are vegetarians. And... Well.... Florans are.... Vegetables. (And they had a huge war)
  • Florans are friends with the Glitch. They saved the Glitch by killing the space pirates that overthrew the Throne and know the Floran and Glitch are besties.
  • Florans hate basicaly every other race (except Glitch :D) Because they are self centered snakes who want to stab things. Some florans, like the ones raised by other races or whatever, are smarter, and are more up to date on their fighting and living style though, which gives you more options for housing, our next subject.
Floran housing
Now let's talk about houses. Floran houses are some of the simpler houses to build in this game.
Here are the important things to know and do while building houses.
  • Florans houses are very often tree houses, but rarely they are built on the ground.
  • Use hay to build the roof.
  • Use vine stuff to build walls.
  • Decorate with stone cooking pots, stretched animal skin on walls, fur and bone furniture.

Or, if you're not sure what to build, you can just google some examples and copy them exactly. Nothing wrong with that!
The end
It may not have been the funniest, or have the prettiest pictures, but still, rate this guide if you liked it even the teeniest bit, comment, and hopefully, use this guide! Add me to your friends list if you want, and good luck playing Floran, my favorite race in Starbound.

a) Floran are cannibalistic.

b) They do not 'hate' other races, if it can be eaten, it is treated as pray and can be hunted.

c) They prefer spears/daggers but "everything is fair play" according to many Floran. (Guns remove a lot of the challenge, but Floran are not above using them.)

d) The only thing to keep in mind about homes of Floran tribes is the fact that the Greenfinger's ability to manipulate plants is involved in making them.

e) Floran can't eat the Glitch, ergo they view the Glitch is curiosities rather then prey. This is not the same as being friends.

Player characters stand out from their kin for one reason or another. They break the norm and set out on their adventure in the first place. (Nuru) If someone wants to play a Floran that actually likes the Hyltol, it's fine. If someone wants to have their Floran exclusively use guns, it's fine. If someone wants their Floran to be a pacifist, it's fine.

i prefer roleplaying as a floran without a lisp. And a hatred for the glitch, strangely enough
