Extended Story

NOTE: It is recommended to back up your storage files before installing this mod. Extended Story is guaranteed to permanently alter your characters and universe.


Extended Story(ES) is a mod that mainly focuses on adding post-endgame content to your game. It also adds small amounts of content throughout vanilla Starbound's story-line.
Currently, it adds:
14 boss encounters.
45+ new weapons to play with.
3 missions.
5 armor sets.
15 new tiles.
8 new biomes.
2 new weapon types: chain gun and slingshot.

You do not need a new character to access any content. However, some content--such as biomes--will require traveling to unexplored regions of the map.
Post-endgame content starts when you defeat an Ancient Vault guardian (the boss at the end of an Ancient Gateway vault). You will need to use a new crafting material that the Ancient Vault guardian drops.

The following instructions on how to start the second part of ES contains spoilers for the first part: To get the Elemental Artifact quests, interact with the vault key trader after defeating the Ruinbuster.

The following is a list of mods that conflict with ES in some way and why they conflict. As a disclaimer, a mod not being included on this list does not necessarily mean that ES is compatible with it.

• Frackin' Universe: Modified SAIL does not show Extended Story missions. Revert to vanilla SAIL to fix this issue.
  
• Supper's Combat Overhaul: Causes bosses not to function properly.
  
• Factions: Removes the Mysterious Artifact from the Vault Guardian drop pool.

Notice: all biomes that ES adds appear in vanilla star systems, so as you install mods that add more biomes to these systems, ES biomes will become less common.
