The Shoggoth Race Mod & Friends

Description
The Shoggoth Race Mod & Friends

Current Content:
  • A fully functional race (and another sister race that slipped in);
  • An absolute ton of customisation options;
  • Some unique outfits;
  • Special racial armor;
  • Unique racial weapons;
  • Strange racial food stuff;
  • A very blood-hungry alternate starting weapon;
  • Unique furniture and blocks to construct with.

Beginner's And Less Beginner's Guide
  • First and most important of all, you'll want to craft yourself a Blood Bank at an Inventor's Table. It will allow you to bleed yourself for important materials. Alternatively, using a Sacrificial Knife or Hemophilia darts can allow you to bleed your foes.
  • Then, using your own freshly obtained flesh, you will want to craft an Organ laboratory. At it, you will find most of the mod's content, including weapon recipes, furniture and organs.
  • Now is where the fun begins. You can 'improve' your Broken Protectorate's Broadsword into a Cursed Sword, which deals an immense amount of damage as well as having a reactive parry. We are not liable for any lethal injuries holding this weapon may cause.
  • A Shoggoth's flesh is alive even when split apart from it's body. Thanks to this, it will take any form it is ordered to have, and thus, allows itself to be shaped into a multitude of furniture options as well.
  • Due to the fact you are an eldritch being, simple armor does not cut the job. Consume alien organs to reinforce your self.
  • However, organs take alot of organic materials, most of which can't simply be stolen from living beings. Consider crafting a hunting bow to stock up on meat, and get an apothecary to get the medecine necessary to upgrade your organs properly.
  • 1.1 : You can now gather materials in the Ancient Vaults to make T7 organs through the Deathstate Portal, that is now used to make everything. Ancient Vault Chests will give Blueprints to the new organs, while pots and monsters will give Runestones required to craft them. The Golem Core can only be obtained from Vault Guardians.
  • Lastly, there is some other content spreaded around the game, which you can find here and there.

Freshest Content
  • New crafting station that allows to execute trials from elder gods in order to gain special rewards, such as the Deathstate Portal pieces!
  • New T7 organs!
  • Over triple the amount of hairstyles and color palettes!
  • New sister race, the Mindflayers! (They use the same gear but have a different appearance.)
  • New outfits!
  • New racial weapons!
  • New shoggoth 'cooking'!
  • New shoggoth tech!
  • New blocks and furniture!
  • Big improvements to blood bank, as well as new ways to inflict bleeding!
  • A handful of resprites to improve existing content!
  • Balance changes, polish and bug fixes!

Upcoming Updates

1.1 : Tentacled Arsenal Update
This update will add Tier 7 organs, available at the currently useless Deathstate's portal.

1.2 : Eldritch Rites Update
This update will focus on adding more lore to the race itself, as well as adding a few minor features.

1.3 : Fresh'o Jell-o Update
This update will focus on improving the current features, sprite art, balancing the weapons and adding a few more things to mess around with. Also more blocks.

1.? : Stuff
Anything could happen at that point.

Note : All updates may receive additional cosmetics and customisation options, as well as more furniture as they are developped.

@Redstark Magnusson Aha! Yes, that was definitely the problem! Thank you so much for your timely help; I did look to find any info that may suggest I needed a separate mod for this one to work, but may have overlooked something in my efforts.

@Jackyllope
If you have "NO OTHER MODS INSTALLED", then there's your problem.
The Starbound Character Creator has a limited number of "slots" by default, and will not show modded races unless you also install a modded CC menu. (Preferably one with more slots for all your races).
If you DO have a CC mod to even see the extra slots, do let me know, wouldn't be the first Linux-only bug.

Is this mod currently functional for anyone else on mac? (I'm running Sequoia 15.0.1) The mod is showing up in the mods list in-game, but there is no Shoggoth race in the character creator. I do not have any other mods installed, and have tried all the usual things like re-installing Steam, Starbound, and mod itself, verifying integrity, etc. and every solution online for workshop mods that will not load; Nothing has worked so far.

Thank you!

@Lavalon Blood bank does not work on ship since you can't take damage there, needs to be placed outside of it. Other than that, just sit in it.

How does one use the Blood Bank? I am unable to produce any Shoggoth Slime.

@Tofiday I haven't been actively updating it, but I made a mod a while back to add BYOS support here .

I love it when there is more variety in the universe, and especially when they add not just a new body, but also develop new items and new cooking for a race.
And that's cool, I love such mods.

To my knowledge, no.
