great work ~

@NihilRetnar ack, as they often do... i can try and scour the changelog for what mightve caused it, but its also likely that its just something completely innocuous that isnt even on there haha

@Sunny, damn... FU must have updated something fundamental... I have not been working on starbound mods (or really playing the game) so I don't know if I'll fix this soon but it's now on my mind...

The racial traits for FU suddenly stopped working, made a Draconis character today and the velocity and elemental resistances won't work. It shows the description on the tricorder, but all the elemental resistances are 0% on the actual resistances.

Lmao, no worries, honestly that's something that was easy to overlook.

...I am a professional idiot

For some reason it never occurred to me that since saiyans were from Dragon Ball some of their items ids would be listed as "dragon" instead of "saiyan" which would mess with things

Found a patch and it works perfectly now

Woah okay, so I have started doing starbound server stuff again recently and someone is already playing draconis and has not had this issue so something is up. The original mod does indeed have under objects/generic/ a flagdragon object named exactly "flagdragon", so it is there, and recipes/emptyhands/flagdragon.recipe is refering to the item correctly, 1 copperbar and 20 glass in groups plain and all.

So given this something is definitely wrong. What addons for draconis do you have, as well as do you have the original? Do you have any other mods that might relate to the word "dragon" as they might mess with that as well, I do believe a dragonball mod had some kind of issue.

I am very confused as to how this happened, maybe try reinstalling the original draconis mod (maybe it got corrupted somehow? We are in the millennia maximum for solar activity so idk maybe it got zapped.)

@Nihil Whenever I play the original Draconis mod and try to open the crafting menu it crashes with an error: Item "flagdragon" not found!

@TMBCyberman the meme dealer the flagdragon issue? I am unaware of what that is, if you mean the tenant object issues, no I linked the mod that does do that.

So does this also fix the flagdragon issue?

@DragoniteAE, it should work vanilla and actually fix some issues with Draconis because it secretly references some FU for some weapons and it breaks without it, however I am currently away from modding atm due to personal reasons so this is currently on hold for development, let me know if anything isn't working and I might get around to it, I hope this answers your questions.

Is this mod only for FU since it's mentioned in or can it be used in Vanilla?

Thank you so much for this mod, I adore it so much as I enjoy the Draconis but hate the easy mode and forced spawns (gas stations, stores & town portals) it comes with. orz

The only thing that makes me sad about this entire mod is the fact that Gas Stations will be stealing my money again...

I always enjoyed getting an item's worth from them. Made getting rich oh so easy!

Scratch that, found the mod that patches it. Are you sure it's not the tier 8 ship you're talking about? On another note, I am curious if Nihil would like to take a look at it, since it also adds a few extra color options to the race and the creator has mentioned that they're fine with people using it (I think).

@Zophie BlackHeart I swear there was another patch mod that dealt with this problem, honestly not sure where it went but I HOPE that can infact get fixed soon.

Hello! I found a bug where the tier 5 Graves Recipe uses the Tier 4 Helmet instead of the Tier 4 Graves.

am i the only person having an issue with the "final" tier (i think it's 6..?) where the hatch doorway to the bottom right corner of the teleporter still has it's weird ship perma blocks?

{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/diet",
"value": "omnivore"
}
Your _metadata file should have the line (incase you use my patch you should include it to load over it, if it doesnt work it's because I am dumb and said the wrong name, try "Draconis Balance Patch (+FU, Recipe, Other Fixes)" otherwise):

"includes" : ["FrackinUniverse", "Draconis Race(Humanoid Dragon Race)", "FrackinRaces", "Draconis Exploit and Recipe Patch"],

@Kisha unless things have changed it should be you patch the race effect file under the species folder with some code like:
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/diet",
"value": "THE_DIET_HERE"
}
and the diets are under the FU file fr_diets.config under the scripts folder, in fact by patching it you can add custom diets there.

So a patch for this should look like a folder called species with a file inside for the race, for draconis it should be a file called dragon.raceeffect.patch (FU should include a raceeffect file already) and inside it should say:

Hello it's me again! Is there some way to change the diet to omnivore in FU? I have tried mod that supposed to do that but it breaks game and just turn off other abilites (like i can do that in ship contoller without mod). Can i do this in game files somehow?

@Valenten, looking at the code it looks like the forge is what's used to upgrade swords.

@nihil oh thanks! I shall back up my save just in case and then subscribe to it! Out of curiosity will I be able to upgrade the starting sword that draconis start with since it says its upgradeable but I cant for some reason. (this is pre dling your patch.) Maybe im missing a forge or something to do so?

@Valenten, main draconis is old and abandoned, this patches it, and I use FU too so it should be fine.

Hello! Should I install this since Im using draconis or does the main draconis file have this stuff as well? Im using FU for note if that would cause any compatibility issues.

@Nihil gotcha! Thank you very much for your time and efforts, Draconis is great, and your patch have been reviving it, it's just greatly appreciated that 2 years later you're still dedicated to maintain it.
If I catch anything else, I'll let you know! Thanks again!

@Malhera, I'll check it out this weekend for the attack fixes (they'd be fast), then I'll look into the color conventions. As for the amount of information, honestly don't mind.

[...]
In last the weapons, since they have alternatives.
I think to know why the Bloodbound Sword family of weapon won't let you attack: it won't let you attack again after the third strike until the auras it applies on your character expire.
Like bandages or stimpack won't let you use them again before they expire. Seem to be the same behavior!
The fix for that could be to copy the behavior of the Flesh Lance, which gives you a buff when you hold it, which expires quickly after you switch to an other item!
That could be the solution!

Afterward, it would only be a matter of moving the misplaced Expert's Bloodbound Sword recipe from the Synthesis Lab to the Hell Forge, and I guess most of the issues would have been addressed.

@Nihil I gave it a try, and it did indeed fixed the crash!

Thanks for the timely answer, but yeah I do realize that's a lot to consider at once.
For information, I observed exactly the same behavior with my usual mod collection AND with just the draconis mod, patch and Xbawks Character extender and nothing else.
I haven't tried with FU at all.
Indeed the most urgent was the outright game-crash from the broken items.

As to an order of priority... I would personally say the next thing to fix would be the armors.
Sure, it's a bit boring of a fix, but while there are other Draconis weapons that work besides the broken Bloodbound swords... there is only one family of armors, so there is no alternative to the broken armor tier-ing, hence it's more important.

@Malhera so I ended up just replacing the particles from the 2nd and 3rd staffs with the one from the 1st, let me know if that works, as for the labeling, that would take a while to standardize, the recipes for the higher tier stuff should unlock when you do stuff I think, and I'll look at the sword to see why it wont attack.

Ok, this is a cluster... pretty sure this is more FU code scattered in it... Trying something...

Also, the Expert's Bloodbound Sword is in the Synthesis Lab main list instead of the Hellforge!

Concerning the error on trying to craft the generic-ed items:
A fair amount of this:
Could not instantiate item '[dragonstaff2, 1, {}]'. (JsonException) No such key in Json::get("particles")
and
Could not instantiate item '[dragonstaff3, 1, {}]'. (JsonException) No such key in Json::get("particles")


But here you go for the pastebin: https://pastebin.com/ZPmr6qYw

That's what I found so far.

Unsubscribed, resubscribed, same thing on my side.

To make a list of what else I see:

- Well, trying to craft the generic items kick you out the game with an error (see next comment, character limit)

- The super dupper weird armor labeling and tiering

- I only see 2 "guns" (white 'Bloodstorm mod:LM-1' and blue 'Flux Beam' ), and 1 claw.. is it normal or just missing/incomplete content?

- The fact that we can't attack more than 3 times with the Bloodbound Swords (I suspect because of the effects it applies, it doesn't let you attack again until the effects expired)

@Nihil apparently it's the evolution of the hybridized battle staff that are wonked.

Also, in the armor section, stuff seem... inconsistant.
Taking the battle hardened chestpiece for example, and a stat to judge the item's "powerlevel":

White item frame - White name - 22.5 armor
Green item frame - Yellow name - 33 armor
Blue item frame - White name - 59.5 armor
Blue item frame - Red name - 36 armor
Purple item frame - Blue name - 52.5 armor

I see you just pushed an update, I'll try it and tell you what.

@Malhera, uhhhhhhhh what? Let me check, maybe I somehow uploaded the beta??? Let me reupload the non-beta one hopefully that fixes that because in the beta of my mod there are 2 new items there...

Hey, reporting bugs: in the Hellforge, 2 items are just "perfectly generic item". Oof.

Get rest fast!!! >:0
Anyway will removing background affect other player's ships? maybe i can do it in my saves by myself by deleting some files idk i'm know nothing about it tbh. Let me know when you'll get some progress in modding it

@Kisha, ok I lied, I looked at it now, that mod seems to just remove the background overlay from the ships. That could work, I'd probably make it separately from this as it could have unforseen consequences.

@Kisha I will definitely look at that, atm I am on a hiatus from modding because I am sick and don't feel up for it, but I'll do that once I get better.

hey i found mod that fixes brocken ship image from other mod(not abt draconis), i don't think it can help me with my problem but maybe you can take a look? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876535509

@Kisha let me know if you do, it'd be interesting to know what causes that. Sorry I couldn't figure it out.

Nah i'm giving up it seems easier to just cover ship image with blocks than find what brokes game... Thank you so much anyway! Maybe someday i'll understand what goes wrong

@Kisha, I doubt it, I use a lot of the reskins you do.

Idk really it happend on 2 devices many times and i'm using other disks on pc, cleaning saves to play vanilla again and this thing still bothering me. I can't imagine what can affect my game so many times with different modpacks at different devices.. Can character reskin mods broke ship? Like it also includes some textures idk...

@Kisha I downloaded the better ship mods you used, I did not get the issue, do you have any mods in your mods folder? Perhaps something is not updating?

@Kisha, I tried the same ship as the one you did in the last image, I did not get that issue. Looking at the modpack you sent me, better ships is something I have not used and might be causing the bug but I'm not sure... Let me do some tests.

I'm currently using Frackin and Draconis and retexture for character sprites, like changes to dragon look like, and i try fix this with Better ships but doesn't change anything. I think that is everything that could affect on ship but there is mods i use rn if that would help https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2669261941
Also when i choose ship at start frackin send me notification that "background image is brocken"
And there is what it looks like https://imgur.com/a/G1eXcJ0 i hope this would work

@Kisha I can't recreate the issue, what relevant mods are you using? Like retextures for draconis ships, byos mods, etc.

@Kisha, sorry got busy with some stuff, let me check right now.

Did you find solution? I'm choosing FU ships like protectorate or anything else what made of blocks already and now it's still spawn background image of original draconic's ship without walls just eh.. outlines where roof and cabin wisible. I heard that you can delete ship file and game will recreate it if something brocken but i'm not sure
