@Tiramizu Cake;
The Github repo is a rework of the Beta version, which is not publicly available outside of the Discord (Normally), so keep in mind it is currently still considered Beta. It is not yet released for good reason.

If you DO want to use the GitHub version, at least come by and tell us your opinion, bug reports and issues with it!

just to know this mod has a github rework should i install that?

@Plutonium Comet;
Simple, make them, at the mod's crafting tables.

i must ask how do we get the clothes for this species??

@Aceterix;
Don't have the files handy to tell you exactly, but usually every mod that has that feature shares the same setup;
Door has two red laser-wire nodes and one blue, or was it two blue and one red?
Anyway, connect the reds to the blues between two doors and they should work. If one combo of nodes is giving you the option to go in, try the other nodes.

Keep in mind that there is still a range limitation of "your screen". Game only loads stuff that is visible. If the output door is too far off-screen then it may not work as it is not loaded.

How do the background doors work? I can't figure it out at all.

@Emerald;
Nope. It was planned to be on it's own planet type, but we're rethinking that one.

Does your mod have towns/villages?

@Turbotowns
Race ablities are not a thing in Vanilla Starbound, and we didn't wanna bother writing yet another framework for racial abilities on top of the already existing ones.
As for Mindflayers and Shoggoths, you basically just get to pick their body design, they should function the same for the most part. Would you rather be goop or would rather be tentacles?

So, are there any race abilities? And are there functional differences between shoggoths and mindflayers?

@Anori
That is a Frackin' Feature, not a feature of this/our mod, so we can't really offer any help or advice. Good luck!

is there a way to disable the permanent madness? i'm constantly mad even though i'm supposed to be immune to insanity and the constant sandstorms and blaring sound effects from the party time effect are really beginning to piss me off

@Redstark Magnusson Aha! Yes, that was definitely the problem! Thank you so much for your timely help; I did look to find any info that may suggest I needed a separate mod for this one to work, but may have overlooked something in my efforts.

@Jackyllope
If you have "NO OTHER MODS INSTALLED", then there's your problem.
The Starbound Character Creator has a limited number of "slots" by default, and will not show modded races unless you also install a modded CC menu. (Preferably one with more slots for all your races).
If you DO have a CC mod to even see the extra slots, do let me know, wouldn't be the first Linux-only bug.

Is this mod currently functional for anyone else on mac? (I'm running Sequoia 15.0.1) The mod is showing up in the mods list in-game, but there is no Shoggoth race in the character creator. I do not have any other mods installed, and have tried all the usual things like re-installing Steam, Starbound, and mod itself, verifying integrity, etc. and every solution online for workshop mods that will not load; Nothing has worked so far.

Thank you!

@Lavalon Blood bank does not work on ship since you can't take damage there, needs to be placed outside of it. Other than that, just sit in it.

How does one use the Blood Bank? I am unable to produce any Shoggoth Slime.

@Tofiday I haven't been actively updating it, but I made a mod a while back to add BYOS support here .

I love it when there is more variety in the universe, and especially when they add not just a new body, but also develop new items and new cooking for a race.
And that's cool, I love such mods.

@Tofiday
To my knowledge, no.

is there a byos version of ship?

Would be cool if there were night gaunts too, they be nice and all

where do I make the Organ Laboratory?

Got to love this mod when you a fan of eldritch horrors i wish you can make minons(pets) out of shoggy flesh

Mmm yes.. Don't we just love ripping out our organs and replacing them with better ones? Shoggoth is surgeon.

@Redstark, thank you so much! I may just need to restart my game again and start with the Shoggoth BYOS. I started with the tiny BYOS, but I'm having teleporting issues and can't get world edit to work, so lots of frustration all around. No issues with Shoggoth and Friends specifically, though!

@FishBone
Easy answer, they follow the same format as all other races, and shouldn't really be spawned in as the "Vanilla" style objects might brick your ship.
EG:
"shoggothteleporter","shoggothtechstation","shoggothcaptainschair", etc.
Variants also as; "shoggothteleporterTier0", "shoggothteleporterBroken" used when you first fix/upgrade your ship.

If you are using FU/BYOS, you likely have to ask them for proper commands/unstuck issue solutions, as adding these in may cause adverse effects, and they likely cannot be removed/broken.

Is there anywhere I can find the IDs for the Shoggoth ship items? Specifically the S.A.I.L, pilot's chair, etc etc. Or maybe somewhere that I can craft them?

@Redstark Magnusson thx.hope the next release comming soon.it seems dungeon from the BETA crash the game by exception of the buffer easily

hm now i just want the bakcground doors for base game stuff. thre is a mod but its not as custimizable as what aegonian has.

imma just let the stable update happen. btw were did ya get ya background doors. i REALLY want to use normal ones for other races (or just avali) as it is praobly gonna be a nice addon to the pile of things.

@dc
That is to be expected, but we are putting in some efforts into keeping characters of this Beta even if the items/mechanics might be removed. Which is why i've added the requirement for the "safely remove techs" mod, to hopefully prevent that kind of situation.
Though i will add, "safely going back" is neigh impossible without making uncountable place-holders, i'd recommend keeping that in mind when modding your game, as this not only affects your characters, but also your universe file.

@Redstark Magnusson I would like to know if the next version will cause the character currently using the BETA version to become unavailable? I switched back to steam version from the BETA version and found that the char is missing

Are you trying to use it on your ship? It won't work in shipworlds iirc, only on planets

Ive tried to use the blood bank but it only makes the particle effect and leaching effect

Actually, I've figured it out. It was on my end, nevermind.

@Hero
Relics and Altar... If i remember correctly those are challenges you can do for special rewards? But i do not remember their bugs and issues off the top of my head. A hint that comes to mind though is to "hold it out until you die".

The content behind such activities maybe a little bit undercooked and unfinished, beware.

Question as to the purpose of the Eldritch Altar and the Relics? I've use all three but nothing seems to happen other than the sound effect.

yup that was the issue lol thanks for the help!

@Hero
Do you have a race-selection menu mod? By default, Starbound only has room for all Vanilla races, and without a mod to add more room, they wouldn't show up.
If that's not the problem, there are discussions available to post into!

Hey not sure where to ask this but for some reason I'm getting runestones from pots and literally nothing else from this mod seems to work. Neither race is even showing up on the character select screen so any assistance would be appreciated.

@Melusar;
The mod has a Beta branch available, where the Shogs use a large paint-brush item to paint and delete blocks differently than normal races build. I don't think it is avaialble in the normal branch, and yeah, Mucus will require special tools to remove it otherwise.

Wish i could update the mod to fix some of these on-going issues but Steam and CF haven't updated their Workshop rules yet

What is that and where do I get it? I'm new to Starbound in general.

Melusar; Mucus was added by people who wanted a more semi-indestructible block (For some reason), and so the best way to remove it is with the World-brush.

So I don't know what the issue is, but I placed down some Mucus blocks and now I can't destroy them at all. I get it to visually half way broken or so and then progress stops. I am at a loss on what to do.

@Knight9910
Definitely something happening on your end, haven't heard of that from any other user so far! Good thing we have a custom ship already made and available in the Beta.

It seems the mod got changed so it now automatically gives you the highest tier spaceship, which also happens to just be the Apex ship? Is this a thing, or just something weird happening on my end?

Found it, much appreciated!

@VariableVixen
"srm_shoggothflag" is our flag object, which is the "Shoggoth Marker".
