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.

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.

you could create a mod to remove items after death, its working principle is quite simple, but it would give a completely different approach to the game, if all items from the inventory were completely removed after death, it would create a positive circulation of weapons and armor, which would equalize the balance of resources and items in large modpacks

Some effects are more taxing than others. Also putting automated stuff on your ship will cause a high load on your computer since it keeps checking every active process. Putting your stuff on a planet will allow them to become inactive when you are away.

NOO, DON'T EAT THE SUSHI, THERE'S A RUPEE IN IT

turbo-inflated manchild pillages everything around him while also combining said things into a concoction so dogshit it makes you want to reconsider ever installing starbound.
absolute cinema :FarceFace: :sacrificed:

Anyone know why I would be getting my FPS zapped to 0 for like a half second every 10-20 seconds? Im seeing Starbound runs pretty badly in general so im not sure if its a normal thing or if its on my end. I have FU and all the "recommended" mods. its not technically unplayable but it has caused a few deaths. Ive tried disabling vsync, and ive also tried running in x32 bit, as well as zooming in, and it still spikes.

Is this mod still getting updated?
Ratboy May 25 @ 12:22pm 
Okay so species weapon bonuses do not seem to be working. Or at the very least not updating on the tricorder. Everything else, like the base stats, and armor bonuses work fine, but this issue seems to effect every species including the ones packaged in the mod.

I tried removing every mod but the ones suggested by SAIL, I tried removing starextensions. No dice.

There is absolutely nothing in the logs indicating an error, or warning.

Anyone here have any ideas as to what would cause something like this?

Oh my goodness, my silly self left the saves in the other hard drive. :slugcatdead:
Thank you so much for the help!

Hi, just wanted to ask for permission to add built-in support for FU for a music mod that I've planned. It adds additional music tracks for Red Desert, Dark Red Desert and Desert Moon. These tracks are all public domain/copyright-free and won't replace tracks featured by other music mods like Frackin' Music.
Mr.Derp May 24 @ 3:22pm 
The thing is, though, I'm pretty sure I never changed my mods between it working and it not. I don't know what went wrong. ):
