Inkbound: A Splatoon Mod

Description
Inkbound is a sprawling mod that brings the world of Splatoon to Starbound. Play as upright cephalopods with rich cultures and histories, explore the galaxy with tons of custom weapons and gear, find friends along the way in new dungeons, and carve out a colorful space of your very own.

(Be sure to check this mod's dependencies, as like other mods that add new playable races, it needs a species extender.)

=================================================

What does Inkbound contain?

- Two new playable races, known individually as Inklings and Octolings, or together as inkfish.
Both have tons of custom content, such as unique pets + S.A.I.L., semi-custom ships, custom hairstyles and color options, fully-tiered armor and weapons made just for them, and so much more.
And even if you don't play as an inkfish, you can find them as NPCs in the wilds, or as tenants in your colonies!

- 200+ custom objects to spice up your space with legendary inkfish flair. A lot of it can be crafted or bought, but some rare treasures have to be learned in special ways... or even found at the bottom of the ocean!
- 40+ custom sets of armor with tiered stats, as well as tons of other clothing items to mix and match. Want to be an idol, an agent, or an Octoling soldier? This mod's got just the gear for you, whoever you want to be.

- 45+ custom weapons that range from tier 1 to tier 6, all based off of the many weapons from the Splatoon series. Any race can use these: no ink required!
- 25+ custom codices all about the lore and lives of these strange cephalopods. These range wildly, from the backstories of famous idol groups, to reflecting on the bloody history of the Great Turf War. All codices are either craftable and/or can be found as planetside items.
- 30+ new food items, 3 new crafting tables, 2 new crops and more: you'll have no shortage of fun new stuff to make. Or, if you prefer taking stuff apart instead, you can use the Octarian Scrap Table to repurpose resources from junk you've collected!

- 2 custom dungeons and quite a few microdungeons. These include not just large NPC settlements with tons of residents and secrets, but smaller habitations too.. including close encounters with dangerous foes.
- A bit of extra fun added to Oceanic planets! These now house different crops, new treasure, and a handful of new residents.

- And even more than I can list here! This mod's been in development for 8 years now, originally released for Starbound v1.0, and so has a ton of stuff in it. It's up to you to discover it all!

======================

Compatibility & Recommended Mods:

As previously stated, this mod requires a species extender for Inklings and Octolings to be playable races.

That said, Inkbound should be compatible with nearly anything.
If any incompatibilities are discovered, please bring them to my attention so I can see if they can be fixed on Inkbound's end.

Here's a list of mods that compliment Inkbound!

- Race Traits
- More Planet Info (Be 100% sure to install the two patches that help this mod work!)
- Paintballs Paint Blocks

- Improved Containers
- Enhanced Storage Patch (Requires base Enhanced Storage: this patch enables it for this mod's contents!)
- BYOS Inkling ship
- Kraken Inkling ship


======================

Have a question? Need to report a bug?

If you have questions, even about where to craft that one thing or what kinds of planets you can find inkfish dungeons on, feel free to ask!

You can find the dedicated Bug-Tracking Thread here, where you can post any errors or weirdness encountered while using this mod.

Also-- Splat2 stuff will wait until the end of July-ish and onwards. ;)
I've got a few little things based around it set up right now, and might add a couple more before 1.2's release later next week... but the bulk of stuff related to it will take time.

I'm tempted to overhaul the vendor stalls to fit the new vendors... but it's kind of weird to have both a sea slug vendor and a sea slug pet. And besides, I've already got a means to sell Inkling food through the revamped tenants/NPCs, you know?

Splattershots do hit friendly NPCs. It's just how the colored projectiles work. If you want to use a pistol that doesn't paint everything, try the machine pistol line instead!

@ lore: In the canon of the first game, the Octarians (at least the population in Octo Valley) just happened to have severe power shortages at the time. Whether this is from their own activities or from Inklings hogging the Zapfish, we're not sure, but I'm inclined towards the latter because Inklings are the ones who won the Great Turf War + took more territory and resources for themselves. They're selfish things.

In mod canon, I like to think that's been worked out to a degree due to being able to colonize space, but there's still probably a lot of disparities and racial tension, and I'm sure that Octarian-centered efforts have less resources to work with due to that tension.

yea ive noticed that before

Okay wasn't sure where to put this but has anyone else noticed that the splattershot hit friendly npcs? I haven't tried with other weapons yet but I can definitely shoot (and kill) friendly npcs with this even before I do something that flags them as hostile (like stealing their furniture) which doesn't happen when I use vanilla guns.
warmainiac 30 Jun, 2017 @ 7:44am 
ok that sums it up
MattisticStatistic 30 Jun, 2017 @ 7:42am 
Because that's the biggest power source. Due to limited land, they fight over it. If the octolings take it, they can cripple the Inklings in battle. Etc etc.

So ye that's my canon for this mod lol
warmainiac 30 Jun, 2017 @ 6:59am 
ok now that makes a little more sence on the storyline of splatoon but what i dont know is why were they fighting over zapfish.
MattisticStatistic 29 Jun, 2017 @ 6:54pm 
The octolings and inklings made peace when they realize they could travel the stars.
After all, they were only competing for the last bits of land.
warmainiac 29 Jun, 2017 @ 7:19am 
idk how to code and thanks (I did not mean to be asking too much or to be demanding or anything like that)

@ warmainiac

Octolings already exist in the game by being effectively playable / encounterable as NPCs; there are multiple hairstyles that emulate their tentacles, and if that's not enough, I'll have octoling wigs in the next update for people who want that.
I will definitely have them as random/"wild" NPCs later on by means of wigs, but they won't be aggressive/enemies by default, because octolings are people too.

I don't intend to make new weapon types outside of preexisting weapon types in vanilla Starbound. My mod includes 9 different weapon types + the Inkzooka cannons; this isn't a weapons mod, but a race mod.

Also, if you could maybe chill out and stop asking for stuff all the time, that'd be great. My mod doesn't exist just for you; if you want specific content, then make it yourself.
