Voided: Expansion Mod (WIP)

Description
A work-in-progress post-game expansion surrounding an odd, dark star

WARNINGS
This mod contains flashing lights and other content that may cause discomfort in people with photosensitive epilepsy.
This mod will also permanently alter your players and universe. It is recommended that you backup your storage folder before downloading this mod (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\storage on Windows, ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/storage or ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/storage on Linux).

INTRODUCTION
A new star type known as the Outsider Star has manifested itself within the darkest reaches of the universe. This peculiar star is home to a variety of element-themed planets, each one bearing its own host of hazards and fauna ready to end you in an instant. What secrets will you find on your way to the bottom, and more importantly, will you live through your discoveries?

Voided: Expansion Mod (or simply "Voided") is a complete reimagining of Extended Story focused on the post-game content that it offers.

FEATURES
Within a post-game expansion...
  • Endure brutally dangerous worlds themed around the four elements.

  • Discover a variety of environments--some beautiful, some terrifying, and some chaotic.

  • Fight challenging adversaries.

  • Craft an arsenal of weapons and armor.


What is yet to be added?
This mod is currently a work in progress, so not all features have been added yet.

In the future, there will be:
  • A dungeon and miniboss in the Ministar.
  • The ice planet type and its corresponding dungeon.
  • A boss battle themed around fire and ice.
  • A final planet type as well as a final boss.

GETTING STARTED
Since this mod is intended to be post-game, I recommend that you use an existing tier 6 character or, if you don't have one and don't want to play through the main game, that you cheat in some tier 6 gear. You don't need to beat the main story to start Voided.

After doing that, all you need to do now is go to an Outsider Star system and start exploring!

Note: Voided requires TerraLib and tileBroken Workaround to function properly, and I recommend installing Buoyant Items as well (a few sections of Voided include ocean-based hazards).

COMPATIBILITY
Supported Mods:
  • More Planet Info
  • Book of Spirits
  • Planet Search
  • Galactic Almanach
  • Recipe Browser
  • Spawnable Item Pack
  • FutaraDragon's Fullbright Shader

It is compatible with Frackin' Universe and Extended Story.

Supper's Combat Overhaul and Monster Unique Sounds cause issues with some of the enemies in Voided, especially bosses. Do not install either of them.

If you know of any other mod incompatibilities, please contact me through the Discord server linked below or make a post in the thread associated with this mod.

If you are a mod developer, here is some info about Voided that you may need to ensure compatibility with Voided:
  • Refer to Claimed Liquid IDs[starbounder.org], Claimed Material IDs[starbounder.org], and Claimed Matmod IDs[starbounder.org] on the Starbound wiki for information on numeric IDs that Voided uses.
  • This mod uses the prefix "v-" in all of its IDs. As such, any other mods that use this prefix are at risk of becoming incompatible with Voided.

CREDITS
Music & Sounds
All custom sounds in Voided were made in Audacity using Starbound's assets and/or the following sound samples:

Music for the Electrochem Facility is an edited version of Desert Battle 2 (original track is by Curtis Schweitzer)

Disclaimer: the authors of these sound samples and music do not endorse Voided.

Other
All graphical assets, code, etc. were made by me, based on vanilla assets, or provided by others.

I would like to thank the following for their help:
  • Portal Mech, newt546, and mister gadfly: playtesting and providing feedback for the mod
  • Numerous members of the Starbound Discord server: feedback, modding help, and ideas
  • patman and/or Silver Sokolova: providing a way to display custom messages at the bottom of the screen
This mod uses the bookofspirits_monster_support.lua script from the Book of Spirits mod to provide support for it.

Additional mods used in screenshots: Stardust Core Lite, Improved Damage Particles, Stack Enlarger SE, Better (C) Pick Ups, Better Action Bar & Icons, Refined Cursors, StarExtensions

@Carl Done.

I found out what was breaking the voltropolis boss!
It's the Monsters Unique Sounds mod that breaks Boss AI. may want to add that to the incompatibility list as it bugs out bosses. It also breaks the vanilla bosses too so I'm glad I finally found out what was causing that years later.
