FAQ

Q0 : Is this compatible with Comba-
A0 : Scroll back to the first section, fartner.

Q1 : Is this mod safe to add and remove mid-game?
A1 : Sure do! But I don't recommend removing it mid-game, maybe with the right tools you could!

Q2 : Will this mod support the previous version of the game like 1.4?
A2 : Unfortunately no, 1.5 rendering changes made it possible to achieve the visualization we currently have.

Q3 : Where do you find the Novakin, do they also spawn in the vanilla faction?
A3 : You can find them with the bounty quest, they are also commonly found in Pirate factions (Base, Cannibal, Waster) and occasionally in Outlander factions, there's integration patches for other mods that added related factions listed in the Compatibility section!

Q4 : Does the xenotype actually glows, is it performance friendly?
A4 : It's only a visual glow, they did not affect surrounding light at all so the mod did perform quite well.

Q5 : Why is it so overpowered and overcomplicated?
A5 : I tried my best to balance and simplify it, give me feedback regarding those so I can improve in the future!

Q6 : Will you add compatibility towards other mods?
Q6 : Sure, let me know which mod that require cross compatibility by posting in Feedbacks Discussion!

Q7 : Are you planning to add more similar mods, what mod could it be?
A7 : Of course, this mod is the first step towards series mods. W-who knowss, I think you sssshould ask some plantsss around what it could be?

Hey could we get some novakin backstories as well?
GeekyRaptorStudios 21 Jul @ 3:35pm 
add tameable attack Poptops pls! I don't care how but we need this pls.
TheSordishMan54 21 Jul @ 4:19am 
That's nova right here, updated for 1.6 as we got Odyssey DLC released few weeks ago. Guess Novakin can finally get into their Gravships for space exploration... but wouldn't be better if SoS2 was installed and used? Bah! Who am I kidding, everyone have their own tastes as we all do!

Based on my own testing in a decent rig, it doesn't affect performance just like most xenotype mods. Body Regeneration was Hediff reliant in previous version but now I shifted the mechanic to follow Biotech way of using a custom gene class to apply it as an attempt to optimize it.

In other words, it shouldn't lag out your game that much :steamhappy:
rolfey1328 20 Jul @ 1:11am 
Does this have much of an impact on performance? I read that race mods can lag quite a bit
evil yaoi wizard 19 Jul @ 8:51am 
This mod is extremely well made and I look forward to the Glitch as well :D

They are! Also yeah, those previews and infographics will take a while to update.

@Saruman
Of course, releasing Starbound races as xenotypes has always been one of the main objectives of this mod series to begin with!
[The] Force 12 Jul @ 11:32am 
So with the update I assume they're vacuum resistant? (Similar to how they ignore EVA Requirements in SoS2) I imagine it's a bit hard to update the pics themselves to say as such xD
Saruman 12 Jul @ 10:49am 
Curious: Any hope for Glitch in the foreseen future?
