This has been my favorite character creation extender for years

Well-designed and follows a logical flow. Still works well

Just here for the slick, clean UI. :D

please help a bugs stopping me from typing character names, i need more space in the name barr.
Kenchi 22 Mar, 2020 @ 2:03pm 
Alright, thanks for the heads up! I'll look into my load order and poke around a little to see what might the culprit be.

I don't play hardcore/"arcade"... like ever, nor is the frackin races thing all too notable as it that bug only occurs occasionally. Just something I figured to mention. owo
Pommy  [author] 22 Mar, 2020 @ 12:35pm 
This mod just changes the name of the highest difficulty to "ARCADE", and shouldn't affect the gameplay at all after selecting a character.

I've never used any of the Frackin mods and have no idea why that error might occur
Kenchi 22 Mar, 2020 @ 10:56am 
I hadn't checked as of late, but does the "arcade" mod for this work or is it still broken?

Also, I noticed (when using FR) that sometimes the races don't spawn with the proper description, do you by chance know if there is a way to fix that?

Try switching the game back to english, it might not work with your (cyrilic ?) alphabet.

Thanks a bunch for the mod, this works much better for my resolution than XBawks' mod. The aesthetics are more pleasing as well.
SleepySheepy 30 Mar, 2019 @ 3:40pm 
better than Xbawks
graelmir 29 Mar, 2019 @ 2:39am 
Xbawks doesn't work like that... It should work fine...
Sinnroy 14 Jan, 2019 @ 3:23pm 
does this crash if i uninstall xbawks and move to this one

Starbound may have updated and changed the JSON format yet again. I'm going to be busy for October but next month, if I remember and Starbound cooperates, I'll look into it!
Gravysamich 6 Oct, 2018 @ 6:19am 
im not sure if the screenshot is outdated, but the description for arcade in my game is "hunger, lose 50% income and drop items on death." this says nothing about being hardcore mode.
Hanomaly 13 Aug, 2018 @ 6:21pm 
Hey, thanks for taking the time to respond so thoroughly to my question, FibS. i really enjoyed reading your answer and reasoning for changing the difficulty settings ^_^ Your explanation makes a lot of sense.
Pommy  [author] 13 Aug, 2018 @ 3:24pm 
@Hanomaly

It's pettiness, to be honest. "Casual", "Survival", and "Hardcore" are all really memey game terms that I hate.

• Casual is a gamer slur so I took it out. To assert that this is a perfectly normal difficulty (despite not being the default selection), I called it Normal.

• In addition to hunger, Survival also disables ship-porting from in front of a background wall and increases drops on death, so I renamed it Hard.

• Hardcore is identical to Survival except with only one life. Most people would call this roguelike , but I consider that a "ripoff name" and avoid it because I feel it stagnates genres and encourages ripoffs / asset flips by passively enforcing using only a single game as reference. I call it Arcade because it's basically an arcade game except you're broke; many later-era actual arcade games have branching paths, RNG, and level-ups like today's roguelikes, & console ports of arcade games usually replace credits with a limited number of lives.

this is nice.
Hanomaly 5 Aug, 2018 @ 8:44pm 
Out of curiosity is there a reason you changed the "Difficulty" translations for English? Normally the difficulty settings are "Casual - Hardcore - Survival", i thought.. but with this mod they are "Normal - Hard - Arcade"? Or... it seems to be this mod anyways.. since even in the screen shot it says these difficulty translations.

Anyway. Pretty interface look! i like this mod, very beautiful. i just wondered about the "Difficulty" words
Kate Yagi 30 Jul, 2018 @ 11:57am 
Oh! Ok then, thanks! For some reason it didn't come up when I searched for it.
Pommy  [author] 30 Jul, 2018 @ 11:21am 
This mod is already on the Chucklefish site! In fact I put it there before I put it on Steam.

https://community.playstarbound.com/resources/solaerselect.1971/

It still says OUTDATED because I updated the version from four years ago and they haven't removed the tag, but this is the exact same upload that's on Steam and should work just fine.
Kate Yagi 29 Jul, 2018 @ 9:14am 
Is there a way you can get this onto the chucklefish forums? Workshop is kinda glitchy, manual installation ensures it can be used even if steam's servers are down like they were yesterday.

Hi there! Nice mod =)

I have a question, I've only tested 2 mods, but, using custom races and "Arcade" difficulty makes me crash everytime I die. Seems like those mods need a special "Hardcore respawn" cinematic.
Hyokkuda 12 Jul, 2018 @ 6:03pm 
I honestly came here because of the fancy window. :spazdunno: Is it part of the mod or it's something else?
patman 6 Jul, 2018 @ 11:04am 
patman agree with jame
Jimbo 10 Jun, 2018 @ 12:05pm 
The best character creation menu on Starbound in my opinion.
Pommy  [author] 7 Jun, 2018 @ 9:13pm 
Mods don't have an API per se. You create mods by directly editing game files specifically designed to be edited by mods. It might be possible to have multiple pages with Lua scripting, but that's beyond my expertise at this time.
Felix Hellborn 7 Jun, 2018 @ 6:07pm 
May I suggest the ability to have multiple race pages? Or is that hard to code with the current mod API?
Wyvern 5 Jun, 2018 @ 8:48am 
This is my favorite extender now!
Pommy  [author] 29 May, 2018 @ 9:16am 
It's not possible to separate species by any perceived class (avian v. mammal etc.), as no such class is in the game files to make such a distnction. The only form of ordering is the ID given to each species, with the vanilla races being 0 through 6.

There are also no "tabs". If there were I would just put 200+ slots on 5+ pages of 30~40 slots each.
catfoodbob 29 May, 2018 @ 8:35am 
Maybe put multipe tabs to seperate avian, mammal, reptile, insectoid, and constuct species.
биба 29 May, 2018 @ 8:21am 
I don't have any other race slot mods so I had to replace it with Xbawks. And it's sad. :C
Fishb 29 May, 2018 @ 2:22am 
Does this work with xbawk's race's? (Aka, People who say to use xbawk's Extender?)
HLFlare 28 May, 2018 @ 8:56pm 
Perfect <3
Sinnroy 28 May, 2018 @ 5:23pm 
is it compatable with xbawks?
Pommy  [author] 28 May, 2018 @ 3:31pm 
Oh, and once the mod's aesthetic is finished, then I'll probably split it into versions with different numbers of race slots. I decided to go straight for 50 for the "main" version since anyone playing on a server probably needs that many
Pommy  [author] 28 May, 2018 @ 3:28pm 
No other mods are needed for SolaerSelect.

SolaerSelect conflicts with any other mod that edits /interface/windowconfig/charcreation.config, which is to say, any other character creation mod. If it "doesn't work" then chances are you have another character creation mod and forgot to remove it
биба 28 May, 2018 @ 6:31am 
Doesn't work :C
nephilimnexus 28 May, 2018 @ 1:39am 
Requires no other mods?
Absolute Madman✨ 27 May, 2018 @ 8:52pm 
Oh man, I love this design.



Is there a way to get this with only 10 extra instead of 50?
I like only one or two extra races haha.
slick gamer 27 May, 2018 @ 1:34pm 
Better than Xbawk's! Thanks for the clean extender.
Floognoodle 27 May, 2018 @ 11:48am 
While it does have 50 race slots, this is my favorite design for a character extender yet!
B0atsMcG0ats 26 May, 2018 @ 11:14pm 
This is really well done.
mommy 26 May, 2018 @ 8:24am 
Best character Creation evar :100percent: :azuki2:
Pommy  [author] 25 May, 2018 @ 8:49pm 
All of the character creation strings and element positions are in /interface/windowconfig/charcreation.config
Pizza 24 May, 2018 @ 9:02pm 
thats nice can you make a version for all gui looking so good!! pls!! :D
warmainiac 24 May, 2018 @ 12:30pm 
make version larger than the most common character extender
Solzucht 24 May, 2018 @ 3:20am 
I allready use a mod which offers bout 50 slots :P
But thanks for uploading this one.
Alfons 23 May, 2018 @ 10:46am 
oh look, i can now get rid of the other character creation menu mod.
