can u make likea version to this mode thats supremely overkill, im thinking something like neon worms that can make use of serris speedbooster modstuff and the novakid race rainbow color change mod :>

Terraria Mod adds Dune Splicers and Tomb Crawlers on deserts

This is a great idea, very coolly done with that snake, but let's just say.. I'd like that snake on a desert planet as your opponent >:)

What breaking the game does this mod do?

Good idea if the game had dangerous desert planets where no one lived except these desert worms, it would be a cool idea.
But the mod itself, if it's for your character, well... it breaks the game a lot, I wouldn't play it.
But this one has a cool idea as a blank for a dangerous desert planet, and for these worms to be your enemies >:)

I just imagined a desert uninhabited planet with these worms, it would be epic.

yes, but not the other way around
(The game actually loads non-workshop mods twice, first it loads them when starting up, then it loads them again alongside the workshop mods after the workshop integration is initialized. This is why non-workshop mods cannot depend on workshop mods, because the first loading step loads the non-workshop mods as if the workshop ones aren't there, and the game reacts to missing mod dependencies by just crashing.)

It probably sounds dumb, but can workshop mods depend on non-workshop mods?

you should probably look up a modding tutorial then

I am unable to figure out how to unpack the.pak file.

Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/211820/2577846803/contents.pak
then use the commandline tools that come with the game to unpack this file
then put that folder in your mods folder and unsubscribe from this (to avoid conflicts with itself)
you'll also need to move TerraLib (Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/211820/2230165463/contents.pak) to your mods folder and unsub to it as well due to a bug (non-Workshop mods cannot depend on Workshop mods, otherwise the game fails to recognized that the workshop mod is installed when first loading)

Where would I find the mod in File Explorer?

if you unpack the mod, it'll be at this path
/monsters/wormracemale/
the sprites are
head.png, body.png, tail.png
change the segment size (used for spacing the segments) in
body.monstertype, tail.monstertype

I've looked and I can't find the sprites. I could just be looking in the wrong place though.

For this one, just go into the files and change the sprites. You'll also need to go into the segment scripts to change the size of the segments

Awesome mod! How would I go about changing the worm from the Dune Splicer to the Devourer of Gods?

there is a second tech in the mod that requires Terraria Mod but allows playing as The Destroyer

wish we could play as a mechanical worm like the destroyer

looks like an issue with modded items having augments with no effects list defined, a case I never thought would happen
should be fixed next update

for pastebin log to big

ok i share here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GT18HWx9P4PVaRzsyA_y7CdtWrCay_Rm/view?usp=drive_link
item named "противогаз"(gas mask from rus lang) weared on right before last teleportation. after i close the game.

where to share the log?

the ship I used is just the Human ship, you'd need an addon mod to change the ship/BYOS it.

respawn requirement suggests a script crash however (this mod's deployment script forces you to use the worm leg tech as a worm), I might need your logs to debug that if that's the case

I've heard of armour that changes your tech. Worm Race relies on a leg tech. If a modded armour forces you to wear a leg tech as part of its functionality, it WILL break the worm.

forgot again -_- similar problem with ship lock have drone race

sorry if i'll be some rude in text.

forgot say some more - i can't find additional items for ship lock

yup, coolest n hardest, because damage taken = damage * touched segment, because of that your BIGGEST weaks is DOT damage on several segments, dangerous liquids, in particular lava or similar and explosions
I found one bug, maybe because i playing with a lot off mods, by the way, if i wear some kind of armor - worm has disappeared and......... hitbox to? repairs by take off clothes and respawn.


What problems did I catch?

wtf...

i cant wait to play as a player was turned into a pile of flesh by dune splicer

this is hardest race ever...

Make a worm tech

Realistically, worms don't have much need for light, I guess. I just need to prioritize crafting a cave detector and an ore detector. Keep the two on one slot and dual-click every few seconds, underground.

Loving the platform-climbing! Made sticking to the "intended" path of the first FU dungeon quite simple, albeit holding the shift key almost the entire time. :D I tend to litter my bases and ships with 3x3 or 4x4 platform squares, as they make excellent anchors/targets for faster worm movement in large open areas

I use this being a tech to allow inputting controls. You can unlock the tech for other races using commands, but it's designed around the Worm Race.

never noticed Lantern Stick working with every segment individiually, that's due to the Worm Race transferring buffs from armour to all segments
I added this for things such as elemental resistance augments, didn't expect it to transfer Lantern Stick buffs,

Idk why it took this long to occur to me: This would make an excellent tech for other races to gain access to, player-wise. Perhaps the Tech scientist at the Outpost could offer it? "An Extra Pair Of Arms" is acquired that way.

Back to Starbound, and running a new Worm in FU. Will advise on how I fare at resisting the hidden areas of the FU dungeons before having the microball tech.

I do wonder: are these enormous annelids perhaps a little *too fast*? Having the shift key slow us is wonderfully useful, but just getting into the physics of such a large creature.... Not to mention the game engine's struggle to keep up with other not-quite-so-fast races, like the Arachnids.

One other thing: it may be worse on Windows than on Linux, but the effect of the Lantern Stick emitting light from every segment is a noticeable hit to FPS. Could it be limited to the head and maybe also the tailtip?

I doubt this is the cause

'/species/worm.raceeffect'
one of your mods seems to be requiring a "raceeffect" file for every race, and it doesn't support mine

Sorry for the spam i just didn't know any other way to post all of this
