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.

ah, no, its because when i uploaded i forgot to remove something. will reupload. Steam has to have me remove the git directory. That explains why it was so long uploading. my bad!

This is a really welcome change for me as i usually never bother with the space cops :)

Possibly thanks to steam issues wit hmods so the entire FU pack had to be re-downloaded anew to make sure everything works 100%

Why did this mod file suddenly become so large?
Bob of Mage Sep 28 @ 2:26pm 
Due to it affecting a bunch of stuff, I don't think they were ever able to change from one ship to another without breaking the game. Once you pick a character's ship type, it is set in stone for that character.

curious ,.if.possible to change from vanilla to byos one or reset ship to be vanilla again ?
Bob of Mage Sep 27 @ 7:11pm 
You need to give more info. The most likely issue is that you missed the changes to EPP packs, and assume they have features that were changed. Are they giving you everything that the FU, not the vanilla, description says they should?
