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.

Sayter - yes, I figured it out, it's Foodie's Furniture, your mod integrated it, so there's no reason to have it standalone with it. I've updated all installed mods, had no idea about integration, so that's that. Removed FF and now it works as it should. Cheers and keep up the great work.

GoofyGuy: You are referencing a youtube LetsPlay from 6 years ago that I never watched. No idea what you even refer to. But maybe?
Sayter  [author] Nov 5 @ 6:03am 
Levianna: You have conflicts installed. In this case, one that is clearly listed in the incompatible list - I cannot recall the name at the moment but it adds Burger Fool. That content is already within FU itself, and cannot work in tandem with the standalone.
Sayter  [author] Nov 5 @ 6:02am 
Nando: Sounds like you are using things outside of FU that are affecting lighting. OSB maybe, or something like it? That doesnt happen normally.

hey when i saw episode 1 of theocarinamaker i saw it had a different start, is that vanilla frackin universe?
Levianne Nov 3 @ 4:42pm 
Does anyone know which other mod adds the item "Foolhead"? I know FU does, but I get a fatal error, item exception, duplicate item with the name "Foolhead", no idea, how to solve it without removing FU. I'm used to play with this mod, so not gonna leave it behind.

Whenever I go to a dark or shaded area, it keeps flickering, trying to illuminate the place. I try using a brightness enhancement, which improves it a little, but it still flickers in dark areas. I think it must be a problem with the racial ability "Glow in the Dark." I've tried everything and it doesn't solve the problem.
Sayter  [author] Nov 2 @ 8:12pm 
We haven't edited anything to do with Nightar in years, and I don't seem to experience what you are talking about - without more information there's really nothing more I can say.
Nandostal Nov 2 @ 6:13am 
Help, when I play with the Nightar race, it keeps glitching with the lighting, flickering in shaded areas. I've already uninstalled all the mods that alter the lighting, but it doesn't fix it. Please help me, it's my favorite race.
