Wiki:

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.

Incompatible Mods

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.

Are you considering translations for other languages? My English is at an average level, I wish it was in Turkish so I could play, I can't perceive the missions very well.

No worries! Glad you figured it out!

I found the mod issue. I didn't have this mod installed, but had Expanded GUI;

It's fixed now, sorry for bothering you.

Zero Wraith: Do not use random collections in starbound, ever. They are rarely curated well and almost always littered with incompatibilities because people don't read.

Our official server uses the following lists, however. These would be guaranteed to be compatible.

Zender: Then there is one we dont know about, or you missed one in the list. The linked incompatible list is the most up to date list that exists, and is maintained.

Common sense dictates that your issue is a mech-related mod that overrides our mech console adjustments. Best of luck in figuring out what it is!

Frigorito: You have conflicts installed. Please read the incompatible list linked on the main page.

just got this game a few days ago cause was only sale for 3.99. Is there a collection on steam of the recommended modpacks and this? Don't see one in this mod's description, just the link listing them.
Zender Oct 19 @ 10:21am 
I just looked through mod collisions and removed the one mod in your incompatible mods list that refers to breaking crafting UIs and it made no difference. Is there something I'm missing or another list that's more frequently updated than the one above?
If not I can send my collection for you to look through and search for collisions
