Actual Life Saver

fixed this mod added Cosmic Intruder, Parasprite, Swansong and also all vault monsters https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847359325 . Its my first mod so if you find any problems let me know

The mod is great, but everytime I kill a Cosmic Intruder or Parasrpite, I am send back to my ship... Can u fix that? :)

Does this work for Starbound Unstable or just the original?

This is a great mod, since they sell for 1k pixels a pop and if you're on worlds thick with the monsters you can get a nice chunk'a change in short order. Considering how I burn through pixels using the pixel printer and other pixel requiring items, this was wonderful to see me through the early game.

Great mod! Finding them took so ridiculously long before, so I'm very glad you made this.

Well mod is great however after checking both versions stable and unstable I find out that this mod doesn't affect Swansong Figure because I did it already 10 times and only what dropped from it was money and Mech Arm(that dropped on first time beating her) after that nothing drops from her with or without mod.

Understood. I will get around to fixing this ASAP. It's a unique monster added in Version 1.3.0.

This mod is really good. I love it，its so convenient ^ ^
But when I met Parasprite in USCMs ship and I killed one，all the monsters AI suddenly stopped running. Later the game took me back to my own ship and I get nothing from the death parasprite.
My friend told me to check the log file. Finally I found something like "[Error] WorldServerThread exception cought: (TreasureException) Unknown treasure pool 'pafaspriteTreasure'[0] "
We checked my mods and finally found this mod dosen't have paraspriteaf cause the error.
Looking forward to fix it thanks

I haven't played in a while, please explain?

Lacking af of Parasprite may cause exceptions. Looking forward to the fix thx.

I understand and I will still enjoy using the mod. What I can do is just toss extras that I get instead of selling them. For the most part anyway. Selling a few once in awhile wouldn't be so cheaty as long as I toss most of them.

Thanks for the comment. This mod doesn't adjust the sell prices, but the drop rate is intentionally high, yes. It was originally made to help folks get their collections finished and then to be uninstalled, however folks can use it how they see fit. I was going to make a lower drop rate version, but frankly not enough people asked.

I love this mod, I had never gotten a single one of thses before I started using it. I do think though that the drop rate and the sell price for them could be a little less, especially the sell price, way too cheaty with how often they drop. I do love the extra chance of getting them but don't want to make pixels useless in the process.

Attention All: If you want to hunt each beast, this is a great mod! You'll still explore the worlds and encounter each monster in turn. You'll just get an extra little trinket to commemorate each hunt! If you were planning on just spawning in the monsters and not actually going anywhere, save yourself some time; you can now spawn the figures with the /spawnitem command.

sweet thanks

The drop rates are the same as for regular money drops from creatures, which is about 90-95% or so.

what are the drop rates ?

this seems like a great idea for a mod

I get what you mean. When I made this for myself I just wanted the whole action figure thing over with and done, and posted this mod so others could too. Since doing so I've considered making a harder version, but only you and maybe one other person indirectly have mentioned it out of all the subscribers. Maybe if more ask I will make a tougher version.

Yes, that's right. However, you can sell your action figure for pixels and earn much more than you would have received otherwise.

So you will earn less pixels from monsters but have a higher chance for an action figure?
Am I correct on this?

Sadly, I can't think of anything that might do that. Do you have any mods installed that change what monsters/bosses drop? If so, it might be interfering. Other than that, there is no real reason for it to stop working every so often unless there's a specific time that another mod might conflict or, perhaps, an error in your game install. Try a steam 'verify files' check.

I haven't had any others report this problem and I haven't experienced it either. Not sure how else to help you, sorry.

hmm every so often the mod stops working and figures dont drop ever until after i uninstall and reinstall the mod. any suggestions?

:)

Heh Action figures are dropping like crazy from the baddies! Love it!

You are very welcome :)

Ah so, thank you. I didn't want to test it with representative numbers lol. :D I used to play a game, where some highly sought after drops had an actual rate of 1/10000... :_D Reason I'd personally prefer 1/10 or 20 or something is that if I have to kill a few or a few dozen monsters I will feel more like I worked for it (false sense of achievment ftw, haha). If every second monster drops it, I'd rather just use the console and add the item in admin mode. :D But I hate that... so again: thanks for helping me finishing my action figure collection without that. XD

Thinking about it, the original was 1 in 1000 chance according to various sources. However, this might be wrong. There's only an 80% chance that 1 in 1000 will drop.. I think. Assuming "pool rounds" works like that. So in actual fact, the chances are much worse than 1 in 1000. LOL

I believe it works out to an 80% chance that an action figure will drop within a couple of tries and monster parts (claws etc) at around 8 tries. The other 20% nothing drops at all. At least that's how I've understood it.

I was thinking of making a more balanced version (1 in 20 or 50?), but folks haven't really asked, so perhaps I'll just stick with this.

Can I ask the exact rates with your mod?

I used to have the "increased action rate spawn" mod, but it doesn't seem supported anymore, so thanks for your work! Exactly what I was looking for. :-) I definetly like hunting, making some effort to get things, but not grinding... the original 1/1000 is just so ridiculous. T_T

Thx

I just put it there for effect. It's called a "Classic Baseboard" block.

what is the little table under the statuette

Not at all. The value of an action figure is in the thousands and the cash drops, depending on the monster, is up to around 200 (ish).

if there switched then does that mean i get less pixels ?

Most welcome.

Used this to get the boss figures thanks.
