how do you use it

Snap both yall's ass!

I wonder, would fish be able to see way better then other creatures in water?
Like night vision, but for water?

snap your ass

Oh snap.

Having watched The Little Mermaid, I can confirm that fish are sentient.

They aren't fish. Fish are not sentient oof.

I swore there was a mod to let them breathe underwater as well?

hey @Narrator can you make it hylotl can ues water as air be cell hylotl r like fish

This sounds good. They are adapted for working in the water.

@Narrator well, that is going to bug me from now on... but I'll live

@Naturefang, yeah I do and the hylotl is based off the axolotl, but the lore says the still need to breathe air: https://starbounder.org/The_Evolution_of_the_Hylotl

@Narrator, you relise that the Axolotl is completle aquadic right? yes they are a speces of salamander and so are technicaly amphibians, bu un like other anphibians, they never lose there gills...

you say you're Narrator... narrate something. -_-

@Reynbowz, it'll work on characters you've already made just fine.

Do I have to make a new character for this to work? Or does this mod work on characters I've already made?

shouldn´t they beathe unduerwarter ?
or atleast have a great boost on that case to stay submerged longer

Ohhh... right. I forgot that they lived on the surface prior to being driven under by the Florans. Thanks for clearing that up! Still, I always felt odd drowning as a Hylotl.

@Alice, I considered this, but decided since the breathing EPP is fairly easy to obtain and a major part of player progression, not to make it part of the mod. I may try to increase their lung capacity, though so they can stay underwater for longer periods. From the lore:

"It is still a necessity for Hylotl to breathe air, but our increased lung capacities allow for prolonged sessions of deep-sea activity, and when appropriate can be utilised as a buoyancy aid. Modern Hylotl also have the ability to see clearly in both air and water unaided, despite the differences in density."

I feel as if they should be able to breathe underwater... because, you know, fish.

You should also give them a small health regen bonus

and evelution

but... but the origanal system makes scence because science...

@sandyhogg, the lore for hylotl specifically says they can't breathe underwater. They are based on the axolotl, which, though called the walking fish, is not technically a fish. (I know I called them a fish in the description, easier to get the swim boost point across that way.) I am tempted to give them a boost to health regen since axolotls can regenerate limbs, though.

give them underwater breathing... they are fish after all.

i like hylotls

make sense

@lienom zekon No theyre like frogs AMPHIBIOUS, meaning they both stay on land and water, and salamanders are lizards, which are cold blooded so they need heat etc etc, you get the point i hope, if not stop trying

or slamanders

so their lizards

I was referring to the fact that they shouldn't be able to breath underwater. A lot of people seems to think that the hylotl are based on fish, they're not, but more on the axolotl. It seems that those who think they are fish are calling them that since the Florans referred to them as fish people.

@Big Convoy, that's a good point. They aren't technically fish, and the lore specifically says they can't breathe underwater. But they have evolved to be semi-aquatic, so they should still swim faster than birds and monkeys.

Hylotl aren't fish, they're amphibians.

@lienom, I know, I just need to find a way to differentiate breathing underwater from breathing in space, it's probably pretty simple, I just haven't found it yet.

what fish swims fast but can't breath under water?

Here, I made this for until I come up with something better.

That's all I can think of for them that hasn't been tried, really...

Just so they take less damage or something...

Or a defense/protection (That dumb shield thing you see in the armor) bonus?

Hmm... Bonus energy or bonus health seems alright...

Well, @Repulse, I've been making modified versions of the status effects that already exist. I could do something more in depth though. If you have something specific in mind for humans, I could probably make it happen for you. https://starbounder.org/Status_Effects

What other abilities are there atleast?
Or are you just not gonna bother with Humans because they're "boring"
I mean, while the Terrene Protectore thing was fucking dumb, not all of them need to be part of the protectorate, I'm sticking to the older lore which involves the United Systems

@TheTrashMan141, I made avians jump high, so there's that.

Make the A V I A N S fly my guy

>Humans are boring

looooooool

Probably not, @Repulse. Humans are boring, so I can't think what effect I could give them that would make sense.

Is there gonna be an ability for Humans?

Wow, actually good stuff. Thanks.
