@Goth Frog GF
Thank you for the note, I could have sworn I mentioned it somewhere.

For anyone using this in mid-2025, if it doesn't work try typing "/admin" in chat (if you're in singleplayer at least). It didn't work for me until I gave myself admin, then it worked fine.

i got the npc spawner mod so

Honestly, would be better as a whip, as it's more accurate.

finally i got that damm penguins, thank you ;_;

Ah I see
well for anyone who finds NPCs like this where this mod doesnt help
/entityeval self.behavior = "thisisastring"
/entityeval npc.setPersistent(false)
someone gave me these two lines of code, just the first one did it for me

Yeah, there are some NPCs where it doesn't work, mainly all story-relevant NPCs. It works on all "random" NPCs that have a built in suicide function, as they are meant to be removable if needed.

Ive tested the mod against another random NPC on a planet, holding right click did in fact delete them, this NPC seems to be immune.

Had an NPC not go away after we removed a deed. Installed this mod, made the broom and stood right on top of them and held left click. The NPC is still there

Danke, I will perhaps try some of these things.

ye, that's I didn't make a big radius in the first place. Hmm, but as long as the crew members are still under your hand, they should respawn anyways I think? But otherwise, maybe you can lead your non-stuck crew-members all to one part of the ship, lock them up and then sweep the stuck ones with a larger radius. I don't know, this is a weird situation, maybe someone in the official forums has a better idea.

@lornlynx but then I'd hit the other crew members..
also something really funny that happened was i saw that one of my crew members had somehow cloned themselves, so i tried to delete one of them with the broom, instead, the crew member respawned and cloned themself again.
I resolved the issue through a little bit of time and muttering foul things.

@PartyPenguin78: you could edit the code and increase the range of it so it reaches them

I spawned some crew on my ship but they ended up in the floor, this could only reach one of them, the other two are still there.

@Alaysha I don't know tbh. It depends if the entity has a suicide function. Most NPCs have those, but I'm unsure about mobs.

does this tool kill mob like slime aswell?

can you make an NPC Incinerator /J

I had a bit of a population issue following a badly managed mod... The result was that my three tenants had about forty other people wandering around... This solved all my population problems over ten minutes. Great stuff!

who is joe

Life Savior. Now I can eliminate NPC that thinks they are "playable characters" or set themselves as "playable characters" that go around making hostile environments and hostile equipment.

thanks so much, one of my mods spawned in nuru

Life saver.

@lornlynx Thanks for responding, I just fired my old crew members and spowned some new ones

@ShadowDark you can try with admin rights. (open chat /admin) If it still doesn't work, then it doesn't work on those.

dose not kill crew members
I spawned some and was hoping to kill some with this mob 😢

@Carpet Crunch: Cool, that's exactly what I hoped it would be useful for. I initially only made it for myself but I thought that others might also find a use for it.

Thank you for this mod, one of our NPCs was stuck in a teleporter room and kept using it back and forth, lagging the server.

I'm looking for a mod where I can attack NPCs without having to piss them off first, where can I find one?

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS

Thank you. My friend trolled me and spawned like 50 npcs on my ship.

I use that to get rid of annoying npcs

Many thanks!

I didn't mod Starbound since more than a year, I can't promise something but maybe I'll look into it the following days.

I'm too dumb to mod... Possibly some kind of weapon like one of those ancient boulder traps

oh, are they killable? If then, one could mod a weapon that just kills everything in a radius.

well itd help bc molotovs are slow haha

@MINIGUN BOI sry, I don't think that it will work with them. All the tool does is calling a function of an NPC that makes them suicide, but some NPC's don't have them so it can't call it.

@lornlynx i mean like: they say "hey can i join ur crew" and when interacted with pop up a small menu that says "hire" or "not now"

@MINIGUN BOI what exactly do you mean with unhired crew members?

Have it kill unhired crew members i beg u

cant craft plz fix

? Anyways, it you still can't craft it it might be another mod that is coded improperly that creates the issue, that's the last guess I can make.

i keep reloading starbound and it wont show up

@Cat_Man: I can also still craft it. You need an anvil and then you find in the last tab (the most right one) for 2000pixels.

no i cant even craft it

@Cat_Man: It still works for me. There are some NPC's that you can't kill with it.

does not work

@Feral: Monsters are a different type than NPC's, so no, this is really only for killing NPC's

ddoes this work with monsters?
