Hi, I tried to install the frackin universe mod that i've found on github, but i don't really understand how to use it to install. ive searched and tried different methods (incuding using a software from github) but was unable to do it.
thanks for any help!

It should work if you place the unzipped folder into your Starbound/mods/ directory, the mod's page on the Chuckefish community forums also has some more information (sorry, I can't post a link to the forum page since my account does not have sufficient rep i order to do that), I hope that helps :)

Don't: It's a terrible and bloated mod with little to no internal testing to trim the fat, which killed the modding community for years. There are several better mods, like Betabound which expand the game without turning it into a zombielike grind.

what "mod page"? you mean fu mod page? there is no tutorial at all. just some chaotic info. spet by step install info would be too much I guess

There's a specifically outlined section about a quarter down the page that points out specifically how to pull the game from github, "for detailed instructions on using and keeping up to date with the GitHub version read Xylia's guide here: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/how-to-update-with-github.123937/"

thanks, but the problem is not in getting files from git repo. problem is in making frackin universe working. there is no install guide at all. no step by step. no nothing. and no working fu just after dl and copy to correct folder. that's the problem

update: it also "mentions" some additional mod wich is required for FU to work. only the mod is nowhere to find, only on chucklefish forums and those are reg only AND require e-mail confirmation AND have troubles with sending e-mails.. well almost hour and half later it seems to work. but my time for today is up :-/ step by step install guide of mod and it's requirements would really be great. not all FU players are well versed in starbound modding

It's not even that hard to install. You slap the files down in a specific folder that the game comes with. That's it. The instructions are below a spoiler button. Also: "The absolutely most recent build here, if you don't care about modpack format: (note that you MUST rename the folder after you extract it, to FrackinUniverse. Or it won't work)"

"To install: Place the unzipped folder in the base Starbound/mods/ directory

New install and can't see the new biomes?: View the star-system navigation screen. Scroll until it says "Processing". That should be a fresh enough area to generate the new worlds.

If you wish to uninstall the mod, you must delete your universe (and probably your characters as well, if you are wearing tons of FU gear)."


Claim to have read the instructions all you want, but you clearly didn't.

I "clearly" did not? based on what? as per "note", that one line installation instructions in vanila would not work. just fyi. claim it to be obvious all you want, but it clearly is not. not for someone with zero starbound modding exp. the truth is that three or four lines of installation guide for newbies would not hurt the creator of mod after all the time he spent on it

Okay. You can go to the FrackinUniverse discord and try and ask for instructions there, but the mods and many users have better things to do than to tell people how to install things.

had the same problem for a while, realized I was being dumb, go to the chucklefish forums frackin universe page, there is a link to the xbawes mod there, install that one and it will be fine (you'll need to make an account)

PLEASE HELP ME! How to use the technology of flight and fire breath of the eld'uukhar race?? It cannot be activated and created anywhere

Hello,
You can only have either the flight or breath activated, it uses the same key as the distortion sphere.

Put your tricorder into one of the quick use slots. The 4th option down is the tech equip slot. You have multiple options including flights, breath, and sphere.

Choose the one you want to use. The key to activate that slot is F

but I don't have flight in technologies, as well as fire breath, I can't create them either

TY- Just like that easy- Put "FrackinUniverse.pak" in there

Here is the link to the fore to install mods from Guithub:
