Alternative Early-Game Quest Line for the Outpost

Description
Replaces the need to locate the ancient ruins on garden planets with a questline to repair the ship's long-range teleporter in order to obtain access towards the Outpost via the intergalactic teleportation network. Designed for mods that wouldn't play well with vanilla Starbound's Ancient Gateways, which are normally found on garden planets, and which normally lead to the outpost (such as mods that generate extra-massive worlds that might take days to circumnavigate, and/or that remove the Ancient Gateways altogether).

Note: Despite my attempts at compatability, methinks this mod is, unfortunately, likely incompatable with Frackin' Universe without a patch, since it replaces the starting quest's scripting.

Supported Mods:
- Anom's Outpost Overhaul
- Grassland Planet Start - Story Disabler Version
- [oSB] ZB SAIL: Standalone

Suggested Mods:
- Repair FTL Before Erchius Mission
- Non-Linear Artifact Quests
- Unlock Vaults Before Ruin Destruction
- Larger Quest Windows, in combination with a mod like 1x UI Scaling

- 10x Planet Size
- 100x Planet Size
- 1000x Planet Size

Hi, I made a plugin to translate this mod into chinese. If you don't mind it I want to keep it on workshop.

@Kinsect: Some collections have mods that may be mutually exclusive, including a few of my own collections.

Also, I've never personally played with the Optional Story mod before, so I had been wondering how well the 2 mods would've actually worked together. (Would the game run, but with the player starting with a fully-repaired ship? Would progress within the game be blocked? Would the game crash?)

Personally, I was under the presumption that the Optional Story mod would've worked fine along with my Alternative Early-Game Questline for the Outpost mod, without crashing or blocking main story progression, but would've prevented players from experiencing my own mod's contents, since I had presumed that it would skip through the early-game questlines to reach the Outpost and get the ship's FTL system repaired.

a collection was using it together and I wanted to make sure

@Kinsect: Doesn't Optional Story do away with Starbound's main storyline?

If so, then what would be the point using both this mod and it, since this mod is still tied to Starbound's story progression (even if the starting parts have been overhauled a little)?

Say can this work with Optional Story?

"current version" of the game was here for years, I doubt that this mod was dome for previous one

if it isn't working with no other mods, problem probably is with your installation - try to rehash game files and make sure there is no laftover files from other mods laying around

and steam sometimes fails to download things from workshop properly - try to usubscribe, then wait for some time, and resub again

this mod does not work with the current version of the game (tried to run it with zero mods and it didnt work)

Hii, just wanted to thank you for making this cool mod.
I was getting very annoyed with having to seek out the Gate everytime.
Made a patch mod to remove them from Lush as they are not needed anymore with this.

Surprisingly this can work well with Optional Erchius Mining Facility! o.o
I don't even need to visit the Lush planet with this!

Thanks for the great mod! I used this in combination with Tadpole’s Garden Planets to Reclaimed Planets to have an epic start. Thank you!
