Description
Starbound feels too easy? This one is for you.

This collection attempts to make Starbound feels more challenging, with more tactical play style and well-planned travels. It has mods that modify player configuration (such as player brightness and inventory), environment and behavior (lighting/shadow, torches, fall damage, etc), NPCs/monsters (defense scale, spawnrate, moveset, etc), and tools/mechanism (EPP, fuel cost, etc).

You don't need to survive from bugs and unnecessary user interface hassle though, so make sure to also get the Bugs & Typo Fixes and User Interface Basic Improvement collection.

The mod collection here does not encourage "fake difficulty" so you won't find mods that simply add more health to enemies.

Requires NEW character.

Have a mod you want to add? Let me know in the comment section below!

Ships aren't safe
Created by bk3000
This strips the damage protection you normally have on ships. It is possible to take damage and die. Not much to say about it. The invincibility doesn't make sense in the first place. Now just to be very clear to those who might find that simple concept co...
