Description

As of June 3, 2020, FR will no longer be independently updated. FR will instead be merged directly into FU with a toggle switch. All further support requests can go there.

It is NOT compatible with FrackinUniverse now because it is *part* of FrackinUniverse.

FrackinRaces does NOT add races. It adds abilities to them.

What does Frackin Races do?

Well, Starbound has no racial abilities. This mod changes that. Each race (including many player-made ones) has various abilities. Some are detrimental, while others are great to have. Different playstyles will suit some races better than others, and much more besides. This mod does not add races to Starbound, it merely enhances them.

* does not require FrackinUniverse *

Racial Abilities can be found here: https://frackinuniverse.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Races

Incompatible Mods

--------------------------
Due to weapon function edits, the following mods may or *will* cause issues with FR installed:

Weapon Stats
Dynamic Combat
Weapon Assembler
Weapon Reinforcer
Weapon Retrofitting Station
Manufacturers Touch

My Favourite Race Isn't Represented!
----------------------------------------------------------
Cool story bro. Feel free to learn the intricacies of git, and make a formal pull request to include them here: https://github.com/sayterdarkwynd/FrackinRaces

I cannot possibly keep up with the nearly daily race-adds in the community. Instead, we have provided the tools modders require to add support on their own.

To add support modders only need to do the following:
1. Clone the git repo
2. create a .raceeffect file using the existing FR ones as a basis for guidance. This sets their abilities.
3. create a .species file patch file for your race to display their race stats in-game
4. edit the tricorder status data to add your race name within the interface/scripted/statWindow/statWindow.config file
5. add your race to the "includes" list in the mod meta file
6. Submit your pull request to git

Voila.

But I Don't Know How To Use Git!
-----------------------------------------------------
Then I guess you'd better teach yourself like I did, huh? It takes about 10 minutes to learn to do what is needed to edit or add a race.

***Disclaimer: Any character, while FR is installed, will have the effects for their race applied without prompting you. This cannot be avoided. If you have a character and this mod, they get their racial bonus. Additionally, with FR installed your characters will *require* FR in order to appear at all. Their powers are added by status effects, and Starbound cannot read characters with missing status effects. So if you uninstall FR, you will lose your dudes. ***

@creeper king 82 I don't think you'll ever understand the stresses of updating a mod for people that will always be ungrateful for no reason, all while being completely unpaid. If it feels more like work than a passion project, it's time to quit

just like my dad

time to remind everyone in the comments that the devs of this mod did the dick move of abandoning it for no good reason.

fracking races doesn't work for me anymore. It crashes the game right after the fish comes. I have only Fracking Universe and Fracking Interface and it does crash the game.

i know this got merged with f.u but is there still a way to implement a race without straight going to f.u ?

kinda want to have a addon that works with frackin like how this was made for it

Breaks hostile NPCs, making them unable to be damaged by the player. I think the as of currently the most recent update with a change note of 'housecleaning' tells a big story; of someone so unhappy that others don't want the bloat that comes with their modpack that they actively break things behind the scenes rather than just leaving it be.
