FU BYOS support!
Hi there! I was trying to make protos work for BYOS and I succeeded by doing a patch mod like this, maybe you guys are interested:

client.config.patch file:
[ { "op" : "replace", "path" : "/serverConnectTimeout", "value" : 40000 } ]

universe_server.config.patch file:
[ [{ "op": "test", "path": "/speciesShips/protogenrace1"}, {"op":"replace","path":"/speciesShips/protogenrace1/0", "value": "/ships/fu_byos/fu_byos.structure"} ] ]

for the _metadata file the usual, something like:
{ "version" : "1.0", "author" : "whatever", "tags" : "Species", "description" : "Protogen FU patch", "name" : "Protogen FUpatch", "path" : ".", "friendlyName" : "Protogen Race FU patch", "includes" : ["FrackinUniverse", "Protogen Mod"] }

And use the FUztarbound SAIL Modded Race Support mod for the proto SAIL.

Hope it helps!

Also, the FU tricorder doesn't seem to recognize protos, but we can change that adding something like this to the patch:

creating a directory "interface/scripted/statWindow/"
inside a file "statWindow.config.patch"
[ { "op" : "add", "path" : "/races/-", "value" : "protogenrace1" } ]

And then the tricorder recognizes protogens :D
This can serve as a little patch untill the FU guys do it properly I guess. FrackinUniverse already has the race stats and bonuses (although they are quite weak u.u) on species/protogenrace1.raceeffect and protogenrace1.species.patch if you want to check them out.

I'm going to test this out myself, and if it works all good and proper, would you like to upload it to the workshop? Add me as a contributor and link the original mod, that sort of thing

Sure thing, just let me know if you find something to fix

EDIT: I made a pull request on FU so they can fix the tricorder thing on their mod. No reason not to, as they already have the raceeffects and such.

So everything works as intended, thank you so much! Do you want to upload it to the workshop yourself, or would you want me to and simply add you to the workshop page as a contributor?

I don't know anything about uploading to steam, shouldn't be so difficult though, but if it isn't much of a problem you can go ahead and just add me! The FU guys accepted the pull on the tricorder thing, so that part should only be temporary until their next update on steam (already updated on github). And thank YOU for the amazing mod!

PD: just tell me if you prefer otherwise and I'll see how it works.

I can upload the file and add you as a contributor, yeah
As for the tricorder thing, I can just remove that from this patch and leave it to them to add with the next main version

yup, that would be best! thanks ^-^
