Baten Kaitos: Lost in the Stars

Description
With the release of the Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster, we're excited to bring you "Baten Kaitos: Lost in the Stars"! This is a mod Chronos and I have been working on-and-off for about four years now (with long breaks in between bursts of inspiration). If you're a BK fan like we are, we hope you enjoy this mod!

THIS MOD CONTAINS MILD CHARACTER SPOILERS!!!

"Baten Kaitos: Lost in the Stars" is all about bringing Baten Kaitos I and II content to starbound! With dozens of custom objects, clothing, and weapons, explore the universe with your favorite characters. The main cast of each game can be summoned as tenants and hired as crew, while each having their own unique weapons and dialogue.


To get started, you'll need to head over to Frogg Furnishing at the outpost to buy Furniture Magnus for your favorite character(s). Crack them open like little gashapons to see what you get!

At this time, Kalas and Guillo have no Furniture Magnus. Only one item is needed to summon each of them: the Nostalgic Photo and Machina Pod respectively. Those are also purchased from the Frogg!


The highlight of this mod is the inclusion of unique tenants and crew for you to bring into your starbound experience!
If you decorate a room with furniture from a single magnus and add a colony deed, a tenant related to that furniture will spawn.
Like in regular Starbound, if you do enough quests for this tenant they'll give you gifts. Specifically, you can get the outfits and weapons of each character from their respective tenant!
Eventually, they can even graduate into custom crew members.

Both tenants and crew have custom dialogue that is chosen randomly every time you interact with them.

Unfortunately, Baten Kaitos crew members have only been lightly tested due to time constraints. Please let us know if you encounter any issues!


Currently, Greythorne-lovers can summon a pet Greythorne by getting a Salty Water Bowl from the Super Reward Magnus at Frogg's shop!
(If you're impatient, you can spawn the item 'saltywaterbowl' with admin commands)


Q. Does anything spawn naturally in the wild?
A. At this time, no. All items must be obtained from the Frogg Furnishing shop.

Q. Will you be making more furniture?
A. We'd like to! At this time we only have a few more items in mind. Feel free to request more, if you have any ideas.

Q. Will you add more NPCs or outfits?
A. We would also like to! But they take much more time than furniture, and we don't currently have any planned.

Bug: Some of the crew members are not the brightest with their weapons and may attack slowly or not at all. A mod like Supper's Combat Overhaul can make them more lively and accurate!

Bug: Some items place... wonky. I'm not an expert at setting up object files. If anyone wants to volunteer to take a look, please let me know!

Not a Bug, but... The weapons are very basic, and don't have any special abilities or scaling. I'd like to commission some better ones, so if you're open to it send me a message or leave a comment!


Huge, heart-felt thanks to my roommate and long-time friend, ChronosAbyss! They did 90% of the spritework for this mod, and without her help and motivation it would have never been finished. Oh, and thank's for introducing me to the game, all those years ago!

Bandai Namco for the Baten Kaitos games

Of course, base assets belong to Starbound and Chucklefish.

@dc
All fixed! Thank you for the heads up.

However, I don't think this mod was causing your game to crash. You should show the creator of StarKnight the Fatal Exception error on line 2350 of your pastebin. Good luck!

Howdy @Mismagius!
We know exactly what you're referring to~ The Machina Arma were something we considered trying to add- but they'll take a substantial amount of sprite work *and* code work. We'd like to try to add at least one, if we can find the time. But no promises right now. :happy_creep:

hey you take suggestions? if so then any chance you could add in the Machina Armas? 1 and the upgraded version as mechs, 1 as a vehicle, 1 as a weapon and 1 as a weapon and armor. if you don't know what i mean, i'm talking about Razer, Marauder, and what Heughes and Shanath has. maybe they could be mid/late game content since they are quite strong and sturdy in the game
