As of now the plan is to take all quest givers out of their current places (you won't find the medic Apex lady in Apex block villages anymore), and create new versions of them to add some variety. As such, Ishcarta and Avusco will probably go too, but I'll be adding very similar versions of them to find on actual planets. It's going to take a while to do this, but I'm hoping it will add some much needed variety to exploring planets. Anyways, I thought I'd let all of you know that things are going to be a little rough for the mod for the next few weeks, but I hope it'll be better than ever!













Are you excited for the new teleporter and navigational bookmark update, but not quite sure what you're going to actually bookmark? Introducing Starbound Side Stories! The goals of this mod are pretty basic: instead of running through planets and stealing all the nice NPC's furniture, I want you to be prompted to stay there, bookmark the planet, and continue to return. A lot of the quests are very open ended, saying stuff like "build a house for yourself!", and you can choose to make a basic square house, an elegant mansion, or ignore it. The point is I want it to start feeling like YOUR universe, instead of just a randomly generated one. If you decide to check it out, I hope you enjoy it!







Cities of Starbound





Right now there are two cities available from the gate warp found in non ancient systems, the Floran city of Ishcarta in the treetops, and Avusco, the Avian city in the sky.



Eventually I'm hoping to have a city available to each star system, with Ishcarta eventually being exclusive to gentle systems, and Avusco being exclusive to radioactive systems. After polishing up these two, I'm going to work on the underground city of Hellena, a Glitch city found near a planet's core for fiery systems, then an Apex beach hotel, and either a human or Hylotl ice planet.





Each city will eventually include:

​ Hey everyone! Your Starbound Crew is finally in a place that I'm somewhat happy with, so today starts the giant revision of Starbound Side Stories, similar to what I did with the other mod. Due to so much stuff changing in the upcomming combat update, this mod is going to be broken beyond belief, and I'm 99% sure it's gonna crash. So, I'll be starting to port stuff over and hopefully get something done by the time stable hits.As of now the plan is to take all quest givers out of their current places (you won't find the medic Apex lady in Apex block villages anymore), and create new versions of them to add some variety.

Quests to help you in your current system. Need Manipulator upgrades in nightly? Ishcarta has you covered!

Learn lore about the specie's lore through teachers or wise persons.

Shop for that specie's furniture in exclusive Frogg Furnishing stores, including hard to get items like moon emblems and bone carvings (for a price, of course).

Help raise the city's pet.

An exclusive dungeon to each city.

Don't like how I set them up? After doing the city's quests you'll have the ability to purchase the city, and then you can edit it however you want.

Tons of secrets to find that require different techs, so hopefully you'll continue to visit the various cities as you progress through the game.​





Although a little rough right now, I'm hoping to have at least three of the cities and dungeons available whenever the next stable update hits in 1-2 months. Let me know what you all think in the discussion thread! And stop on by if you have any suggestions for a city you'd like to see!
