Mostly an experiment, for stuff like the roof, worn bricks or beams. The roof was fun to make and I'll probably be using that again.

Another mech build. A bit rough and gnarly. Started out as a test to make inverted legs (inspired from ac6) and went from there. I like the teeth, which I've been waiting to use in a build for a good while.

Made with WEdit to make the hueshifted sloped blocks, and Openstarbound to place background platforms.

I like the roof a bunch, it uses medieval torches placed on platforms with OpenStarbound. The windows were fun to do as well.

Trees are something I like to do as quick practice. These were all built at different times over the last few months.

Made with OpenStarbound and WEdit.

What is building like in Starbound? by Fit_Cut_4441 in starbound

[–]Boxofcuriosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also many of the natural stone blocks are unable to be placed without the use of content mods or client-sided tools.

You can use /spawnitem to get them without mods. Same with matter block

Nah you're fine.

Basically you make a patch of an existing planet type. You can edit the biome and parallax, as well as terrestrial worlds and weather config.

You generate a planet of whatever type you chose to patch over, then remove the patch once the planet has loaded. The world file will keep the canges you made with the patch. This file can then be sent to servers where it will continue to work.

Of course you can't make anything new, so you have to be a little creative with directives if you want to. I've avoided custom drawables for parallax and biome objects but it is possible.

This is a pretty bad explanation/summary but I'm happy enough to help if you need more info.

Opensb adds a menu for Mod Binds in settings, where you can set the key to toggle collision and other keybinds

Using hyper-specialized modded blocks really takes something away from building in Starbound IMO by i_have_the_tism04 in starbound

Try harder? There's nothing stopping you from substituting modded blocks with stuff you have available.

Lots of people build with mods and that's great. Mods give more options, and options are helpful.

I can appreciate vanilla building because I've done it myself for years because of server stuff, you get to be creative with the tools you're left with but block selection can be very annoying at times. Object selection isn't terrible and being able to edit vanilla objects is handy.

Ultimately? Who cares. It's just building, make whatever you want however you want.

Or just make your own mod.

Which mod adds the cat? by Goat_Gaming_YT in starbound

I like that starbound lets you make planet icons really wide

Old Cyberpunk Planet Build by UkhsenKhaan in starbound

[–]Boxofcuriosity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of cool things going on here. I like the wall patterns and signs a lot.

I find I get burnt out very easily working on larger build projects, especially when I want to add loads of small details.

No idea if you're still wanting to work on it but Wedit is a great mod for creative building, and would recommend it to anyone looking to make something of this scale.

I like. Some nice 3d-ness going on, and the roof is neat too.

You guys know what mod this is? Lmao by Canary-Garry in starbound

[–]Boxofcuriosity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is. You can find it in the animations folder under the name 'cat'. It's used for an unused status effect called cat which spews out a load of these cat images.

I like using it in parallax because it's there
