Assorted comments and suggestions of mine will go here. Likely to update over time.
I have a lot, sadly I can't contribute much aside from 'ideas' and really bad scribbles.
I do have a screenshot of the ship I'm working with atm for my bizzare Avali Cultist critter, but it's a disorganized mess and not a 'directed' build.

This is an extremely well-done mod, so I can't really provide much constructive criticism- you've already aced what you're going for here so far. All I can provide is ideas for suggestions and loose scribbles, I ain't an artist, nor am I competent, so I can't offer much. Sorry!

-NPCs and quests segment

Existing NPCs might have something to say about the K'rakoths!
Esther might be concerned about the K'rakoths and their stuff; and might have to look over her notes again; This level of Ruin Worship shouldn't have gone unnoticed by her for so long; and the destruction of the Ruin only seemed to help it, in the end.

Maybe Asra's had time to reflect; Showing her some stuff from the K'rakoths might have her comment on them, as well as her talking to the player about various things (in essence, have the player able to visit her while she's imprisoned at the peacekeepers, She supposedly has more characterization but nobody touches on it, so let's have her talk to the player about life's events and the terror of her village getting destroyed)

Colt's pretty intresting; almost bordering on obsessive over the K'rakoths and Ri'shaan. Wonder if anything would come of this;- he could be an intresting stepping stone for a Novakid 'variant' but I'm not sure what it could be, lore-wise. (saw him praying to the k'rakoth statue there, nice touch)

dungeons, missions, and world
First of all, bravo with the bait-and-switch execution of that new mission. Loved it, reminded me of how FFS does instance transitions a little bit.

See 'objects' segment; Sometimes other races and factions have set up shop or gotten to these places before you. They're not always hostile, though some are and some aren't, and their purposes there might vary greatly! These abandoned facilities do make a good starting point for shelter and other settlements that would crop up from research, salvage, and tomb-raiding teams setting up shop nearby; These might have unique or rare objects for trade, like the paintings or the drone you find in chests and crates the same way.

Infested and Crystallized variants of K'rakothian facilities or other variants, like the aforementioned NPC populated ones.- Generally 'run-down' versions that blend with the terrain or damaged/looted a bit, or weathered, or what have you. I think I saw one like this on the FU compat addon image so they do exist already.

'Mini'/Custom Outpost worldgen things; Arcana? supposedly does this, spawning 2-Stops and other Outpost Vendors in the world; This makes sense, some of these are established stores and multiple would exist, right?

Museums and general archaeology 'sites', I'm surprised this isn't done for mods more; In general, the fossil stuff isn't often touched upon. Not specific to just K'rakoth content; either.

The "Cosmic Invader" virtual reality enemy has a unique sprite when in the 'real' world. It might be of use to you.

Items Segment

Weapons in general, Other odds and ends that they would have used, no matter how useless or mundane

K'rakothian mace. They're already doing friggin' sea-mines and spike-balls amuse me greatly, so more of that good ♥♥♥♥, please.

-races segment

Avali and the Fragments seem the most intresting for terms of racial-focused bits like the other addons, though Elithian also seems like a good pick. I am going to be very biased towards the 'Vali, (used hylotl in alpha/beta, novakids are pretty cool but underutilized in vanilla, and avali were probably my first major 'modded' race to play around with so go figure.), but there are a few other races i'm fond of too, like Avikans, the aforementioned fragments, the weird thelusian's aesthetic, etc. There's a lot to comb over these days so I'll need to get back to you.

Little is known about the Fragments; but what little I've come together with, they like to call the snow-raptors 'Heralds' for some reason relating to the Ruin. I'm not sure what their secondary aesthetic is supposed to be, but their primary one is obviously 'fleshy tentacles', There's an 'additions' mod atm that has a few furniture peices but it's hardly complete. This seems like a very logical race to do support for, as it's an interesting concept that isn't touched upon often.

Novakid Segment
Nicely done on this, as with everything else. I like the use of the existing novakid peices repurposed for ancient archeologist purposes.

There was art of some sort of "sun church", but this seems to be unused by most? Might be intresting as a worldgen and decorative props, This was the only one I could find of it: here[static.wikia.nocookie.net]

Avali Segment

Avali are notoriously difficult to make alternative cosmetics for, so this would be useful for those clamoring for alternative ones (Cthonic armor for instance).

Furthermore, it's said their tech-level is similar in many ways, so perhaps the two races may have encountered eachother before

I don't know what the official stance on 'Vali would be for the K'rakoths and vice-versa

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10_27PBZ8W9tnj3K7y9fCwg3HQInrzFvn/view This is a big document that's more up to date than their wiki.


-objects segment

Perhaps 'erchius' themed furnitures/objects?

More 'miniaturized' versions of some objects using the compressor; Some decorative objects take up a lot of space; A smaller coral tree would be nice, for instance.

Make the grand piano/organ interactable, it felt like a major setpeice of the dungeon it was in, so it'd be nice for the decorative reward to do something fancy like play a little tune.

Elder objects; but an alternative 'erchius encrusted' variant (For instance, an 'eye' on the Elder themed stuff's eyesockets and other places, Gives a dull glow, counts as a lightsource, and is fullbright.)

A way to craft those delightful coral lights. Love 'em, but can't craft 'em, More blueprints jammed in chests (or give a new use to the translator + corrupted k'rakothian codices+ebooks)

'Deconstructed/Mid-Research/Broken/etc.' versions of existing props; especially useful for spawning NPC encampments near the dungeons, hostile or otherwise. Other races have likely discovered these places too, and are slowly reverse engineering their own! (like the broken Aeon Engine/Generator. That's a good one.), The broken tablet being placable and combinable into a fixed version was cool, so like that.

New Tesla Globe/Disk, in K'rakothian theme.

New Erchius (magenta) Geode placable.

Big ol' peice of mining equipment, like the human drills or the Autominer of Maple32

BYOS stuff (ship magenta. aeon generators. docking beam thingy. thrusters. erchius magenta, yummy.), Might already be in FU's ship parts menu, idk.

Decorative Naval Mines? (I just think little spikeballs are funny.) Maybe as a chandelier unless you can come up with other ideas.

A reverse-light object that makes an area darker, intended to be used in conjunction with actual lights? (frackin's insanity/madness darkens the player's view, I'm not sure if you can 'void' light from an area locally and then use that voided light to enhance the other lighting but who knows.)


-Misc Segment
Tanz Lighting Patch, for light bleeding through blocks.
