websurfer did you ever get that fixed? i have the same problem
A man 16 Jul, 2019 @ 5:37am 
are there similar mods to replace this?
websurfer1111 26 Jun, 2019 @ 4:48am 
I compleatly deleted everything and reinstalled the game and my Mod Collection, but without this mod.
But I still can't catch monsters...
They still die, when I throw a pot at them.
Must be an other mod, I have installed...
websurfer1111 24 Jun, 2019 @ 6:28pm 
weird. i unsubscribed, but I still can't catch monsters.
Is this mod a one way ticket?
websurfer1111 24 Jun, 2019 @ 1:08pm 
NOOOOOOOOOOoooooohohohohohohoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooh~
Guess pets are useless again and have like no HP's what so ever...

Until someone eventuelly updates it.

At least I found out what's wrong... :(
A man 21 Jun, 2019 @ 5:20pm 
damn another mod i have used forever is broken and not coming back...
Armok 16 Jun, 2019 @ 10:13am 
well darn, now I feel like an idiot :P

I'm glad it's not breaking for everyone then at least.
I think I'm still gonna leave it as it though, since I'm not supporting this mod anymore.

I was able to catch monsters without them dying with this installed. I had to uninstall Named Pets and some other ones but it worked. Thank you for your work on this mod.
Armok 15 Jun, 2019 @ 11:00am 
deleting mods has a habit of breaking things for people, would advise just adding [BROKEN IN 1.4] to the title
Shadowpaw  [author] 15 Jun, 2019 @ 10:55am 
To anyone still subscribed, I strongly urge you to unsubscribe from this mod if you intend to play on 1.4

(I won't be deleting the page, as I'm unsure whether it will automatically unsubscribe users)
Armok 15 Jun, 2019 @ 10:45am 
fair
Shadowpaw  [author] 15 Jun, 2019 @ 10:42am 
Oh... that's not good.

Hmm... I might delete this mod page then.
I don't think I intend to update it, there are better monster booster mods, and I'm really out of Starbound at the moment.
Armok 15 Jun, 2019 @ 10:37am 
looks like this mod broke in 1.4: https://pastebin.com/xdDPBGeP (monsters seem to die when captured)
Shadowpaw  [author] 29 Jul, 2018 @ 8:26am 
Hmm, I never really tested this one on a server.
It might also be affected by other mods.

I've been out of the modding game for a long time now. Not even sure where I'd start to fix this.

There are some other mods on the workshop that does similar things. This would probably be your best bet.
God's Slowest Soldier 29 Jul, 2018 @ 12:42am 
Bit of a problem... hosting a dedicated server for my friends and I, and on the server, it constantly spams these two messages:
[Warn] Unique status effect 'PB_pethealthboost' not found in status effect database
[Warn] Unique status effect 'PB_petregenboost' not found in status effect database
Worried it might be slowing the connection a bit?
SleepySheepy 16 Feb, 2018 @ 5:34pm 
does it work with modded monsters?
Redstark Magnusson 20 Jan, 2018 @ 7:19pm 
I have both and my pets didn't explode yet (Until i put a bomb collar on them...) so i assume it works.
Cypheros 20 Jan, 2018 @ 4:48pm 
Does this mod work together with frackin Universe? Im worried in busting my savegame. :S

[19:19:23.069] [Error] Cannot set Steam achievement kill10poptops

does this error mean anything? it happens when i have this and one other mod installed
Cantusavem 30 Nov, 2017 @ 11:13pm 
i want a mod that just levels pets to make them level up and get better more health and attack like something up to level 10
Shadowpaw  [author] 21 Aug, 2017 @ 7:44pm 
@Hyphen
Getting a handle on the pet entities is a bit more complicated than people realize. It's probably possible, but it's not easy, I can tell you at least that much.
Aech 21 Aug, 2017 @ 5:14pm 
why cant i find a mod where you can name your pets?!!?!
Ekajaja 10 Aug, 2017 @ 10:55am 
ahh I wasn't asking so much as sharing a thought. I haven't seen any other pet augmenting stuff yet and this mod just sparked the idea so i spat it up. good luck with your stuff Shadow.
Shadowpaw  [author] 10 Aug, 2017 @ 10:45am 
@Zellot
I agree, there is a lot of potential to improve pets, but unfortunately I've got... stuff, going on, so it will not be my undertaking.

There are a few other pet boosting mods out now (Probably way better than mine even), maybe you can try asking there? Or maybe ask in the mod suggestion thread (Though that thread is pretty dead)
Ekajaja 10 Aug, 2017 @ 10:36am 
Would be cool to see the effects here and maybe some other buffs / ect split into consumables ala pokemon with all it's potions and buffy stuff. make playing a tamer a bit more engaging. If you don't wanna do that idm i was just sharing a thought i had when i saw this. thanks
Shadowpaw  [author] 5 Aug, 2017 @ 5:15am 
@Tymon Really?
What pet is it? What tier armor are you using?
Do you have a collar equipped?
Are you using any other pet related mods?

It might also just be a problem from when the mod was initually installed. Try putting your pet in the healing station and see if it still happens.
Tymon 4 Aug, 2017 @ 8:13pm 
This thing made my pets entirely immortal. I threw a pet pod in lava and was watching it take 7 digit damage numbers and it wasn't dying.
Xeno42 19 Jul, 2017 @ 4:36am 
yeah i miss when pets could level up
Redstark Magnusson 3 Jul, 2017 @ 4:43pm 
Well, i like the idea of making the pets useful once again, but i don't know... i would love if there was a mod out there that changed pets to act more like ARK and level up if you let them fight.

It feels both bad that pets are useless, but also feels odd that a pet can be battle-trained right off the bat after being capture and also just by wearing a collar.

Anyhow, gonna subscribe.
Sera 28 Jun, 2017 @ 11:58am 
Yes the pods back then was truly bad. Witch is a shame because the monsters was amazing with so many driffrent types but now we have same old same old monsters and amazing pods. I still fly around the galixy trying to find my old friend. I hated capture pods till he showed up. Long story short I was about to die to a boss monster on the edge of a death fall. Right before the boss's attack the little guy came from off screen and killed the boss and saved me. We went all over together after that. Fighting bosses saving people surviving the harsh nights. Then they updated the game and I lost his pod. So now I am trying to find him again or find away to remake him.
Shadowpaw  [author] 28 Jun, 2017 @ 11:08am 
@fang24
I figured you were talking about something else. I never used capture pods back then. They were kind of pointless.

@RyuukNawa
Hmm, I'll look into it. There are quite some limitations to what you can mod in, and I'm not exactly an experienced modder. But I'll see what I can do.
Sera 28 Jun, 2017 @ 10:00am 
No I do mean leveling. A long time ago when our ships used coal and not your fancy dancy fual and a pickaxe was better then your sace age tool our captured pets would level as they killed stuff. We could even have more then one but you did not keep the pod. If they ran off somewhere died and you don't know where you never found the pod or your pet again. Nor could you pick it up or it warp with you. It had to die if you wanted it to leave the planet with you.
RyuukiNawa 28 Jun, 2017 @ 9:38am 
Hello! Please, make a mod for leveling up your pets. this work's with your invention, but this necessites for:
1- a crafting tablle for leveling up
2- levelling up with pixels
3- leveling max 10

Levelling up your pets give:

100% more heath (until lv 4, after is 50% more)
more life regen (lv 1-2 collar I, lv 4-5 collar II, lv 5-7 collar III, lv 7-10 collar III + collar II)
more damange (50% per lv)
MORE SPEED (we need speed for pets, please. Slowest pets don't work for moving people)
Shadowpaw  [author] 28 Jun, 2017 @ 9:34am 
@Diam0niter
That's already in the game though. the armor you're wearing is directly applied to your pet.
You can see the creature's base level 1 stats by removing all of your armor.
Dym0niter 28 Jun, 2017 @ 8:37am 
I think he meant that the pet scales with your character stats
Shadowpaw  [author] 28 Jun, 2017 @ 4:16am 
There was pet leveling?
I didn't even know that. That would be a lot better.
Sera 27 Jun, 2017 @ 11:28pm 
Cool I like the sound of this. And in till they (or anyone) adds back in leveling this will be handy for our pets not dieing by getting looked at funny.
