You'll be able to recruit Stripes again, don't worry :)

I accidentally gave up the task of finding stripes at the outpost. Can I redo this task?
BattlePenguin 24 Sep @ 1:17pm 
Accidentally left outpost without fully recruiting Stripes the first time I saw them. Will they eventually respawn or have I lost them completely?
Juni  [author] 22 Sep @ 11:01am 
The Engineer and Mechanic should be fairly self-explanatory.
The Murrauder and Purrowler are a sniper and melee respectively.
All of them, however, have a bit of a... feline touch :)
Stripes is a more unique crewmember, and has a slightly more detailed personality.

As for FU - my FU patch ( NekiFU ) does not affect any of the NPCs in any way, and unless FU alters the basic NPC configurations, which the above NPCs partially rely on - they shouldn't be any different. I'm not an expert on FU though, so it's probably best to ask the authors about this.
Stealth 22 Sep @ 9:46am 
Sorry if this is already in the mod’s description and I skimmed over it, but what exactly do all of the unique Neki crew members do? And are there any differences to what they do if FU is also installed?
Juni  [author] 22 Sep @ 4:00am 
No idea what could be causing that, I'm sorry :(
I've been testing the mod extensively with Wardrobe Interface just prior to my last update, since I've added and re-ordered a lot of items in it, and I don't recall having any issues like that.
Try to remove all other mods, then add them back a few at a time to see when it starts happening - that way you should be able to figure out what causes it :)
Prism 21 Sep @ 8:26pm 
Prolly my end with something idk,
but I made a new Neki character today after not touching this game for a hot minute,
and I went to open Wardrobe, and the game freezes for a second, then just out right closes with no msg. no clue which end is the issue, this or wardrobe.
Any ideas what could be cause this?

@Ducimus
Thank you! ♥ I'm so glad you enjoyed it \^-^/

@Austin
Look in the pinned 'Info/Updates' thread above, it's all in there :)
Ducimus 18 Sep @ 10:09am 
Well... mod really spiced up my playthrough as a new player, playing for a close-range assassin with low health but high mobility - looks like something new for me in playstyle, while other races provide poor benefits and just not fitting my personality. (Unless glitch as I started tho, but not much impact from him really) maybe just because Starbound is more fun with mods idk. So... yeah, if there was a mod which provides creator of the mod a medal, I would subscribe on that one too! But here we are have only for a Bossman for a dif game. Anyways, I wish creator good luck :mpn_soldat:
Austin 18 Sep @ 9:51am 
How do i get "Stripes" to spawn?
Juni  [author] 9 Sep @ 3:16am 
Maybe ^-^
Austin 8 Sep @ 4:14pm 
is one of the screenshots a TwoKinds Reference lol
Juni  [author] 8 Sep @ 2:31am 
They're not at all difficult to find. Please refer to my previous reply to you, a few messages below, regarding where they can be found :)
As for the mod in question - I know nothing about it, so you'd have to ask its' creator.
REDnBLUmercMANN 7 Sep @ 6:14pm 
Are the Neki recruits hard to find? Can they be found on populated planets with the populated planet mod?
Juni  [author] 25 Aug @ 11:53am 
No, the Neki recipes are unique to the Neki and, to some extent, the Mechineki.
As mentioned here before, you can craft them on a Neki character and pass on to another character of any other species :)
Aceterix 25 Aug @ 12:50am 
Are the Neki recipes able to be obtained with other races? and if so, how?
Juni  [author] 22 Aug @ 2:49pm 
Some Outpost visitors will tell you about where they saw other Neki, but if you can't wait to meet them - you can look for them on Tundra planets and in Apex cities .
REDnBLUmercMANN 22 Aug @ 12:53pm 
Oh thanks, any hints on how to find them?
Juni  [author] 22 Aug @ 2:48am 
There are! They're all listed in the mod description above :)
REDnBLUmercMANN 21 Aug @ 4:59pm 
Other than Stripes, is there any other unique Neki recruits?
AgentKirin 18 Aug @ 8:52pm 
Understandable. The best I can think of without a ground-up rework would be making them inflict a status that either suppresses contact damage if the target is a monster (would protect against monsters, but have no effect on NPCs' weapons), or reduces the target's attack power to zero for roughly the same duration as the invincibility (protects from NPC melee but also makes their attacks, including ranged, useless on things that aren't you).

If you did want to go the rework route, deflecting bullets with your claws in the direction you're swinging would be fun. Maybe this has "health" like a shield, or consumes energy with each bullet deflected, so you can't just charge into heavy fire all the time.
Juni  [author] 18 Aug @ 8:34pm 
Thank you for your feedback ♥
I agree that it makes very little sense for it to be that way.

I've made the claws by taking vanilla 'Fist' weapons and modifying them to the best of my extremely limited ability and understanding - so being invulnerable from all sides isn't intentional, but rather inherited from the way vanilla SB does it.

I'd greatly appreciate any help in adjusting the way it works, which seems like something that'd require a certain degree of additional scripting, because I genuinely wouldn't know where to begin with it, nor do I currently have enough free time to properly figure it out T-T
AgentKirin 18 Aug @ 4:12pm 
I've noticed that the player becomes completely invulnerable when using the Neki claws. While I'm pretty sure the intent is to prevent contact damage, it also prevents projectiles from hitting you (including from behind), making it way too easy to get within stunlock-blender range.

Ignoring shotguns and flamethrowers to the face to close the distance is amusing the first time, less so the twelfth time. If you could find a way to fix this - distinguishing damage sources, making the protection directional like a shield, or whatever have you - I'd be the happiest cat in space :3
Juni  [author] 8 Aug @ 3:21am 
She'll probably use one hand, same as the Purrowler.
The player claws don't have the combo stuff, and for some reason the NPCs can't figure out how to use them without it :(
Elf Waifu 7 Aug @ 6:13am 
Can I give Stripes player claws in crewcustoms or will she only use one hand.
Juni  [author] 3 Aug @ 12:59pm 
Yes, she will.
I even configured her to hide behind some objects that are unique to Anom's :)
It's much larger though, so she'll obviously be more difficult to find.
videogamegirl155 3 Aug @ 12:20pm 
Hi Juni, will Stripes appear at the outpost if I am using Anom's Outpost Overhaul?
Juni  [author] 31 Jul @ 9:21am 
Her overall design and character are inspired by a rather popular online comic :)
belirahc 31 Jul @ 8:49am 
is Stripes a referents to something or a character you made?
n8 29 Jul @ 12:13pm 
i get the cactus now
Juni  [author] 29 Jul @ 1:38am 
The Neki, originally, didn't have any armors to begin with, which was by design; they're not a species that'd canonically bother with crafting, and much less things they'd be forced to wear, which would impede their agile and highly sensitive body. Try making your feline friend wear anything, and see what happens.

The way you are/were meant to get by, was by looting/buying armors - the vanilla game includes enough armor sets of all tiers to not ever need to bother crafting any.

The only reason the Neki have any armor sets to begin with, is because I caved in to pressure, which should be clearly reflected in their armors' item descriptions :)
kORVUS 28 Jul @ 10:01am 
is it just me or is there no Ferozium/violum/Aegisalt neki armor? The Minikog Neki armor set cost Solarium, so I was wondering how are we meant to get to solarium with Durasteel gear?
kORVUS 25 Jul @ 5:17pm 
*gasp*
I FOUND HER
I got a new mission. Forget saving the world. I need to make the best room for the cute thing in my ship. Lavish bed, HERE I COME!
MarshCreature 25 Jul @ 3:02pm 
Just found stripes. Simply adorable. Made me want to decorate my ship with the most luxurious cat related things available.
Juni  [author] 25 Jul @ 2:32pm 
Awwh, thank you so much! \^-^/

Stripes can hide all around the Outpost (except for the 'creepy room' under the asteroid), look for her tail behind various objects like crates, shops, cupboards, lockers, columns, etc.; if you can't find her for a long time - just leave the Outpost and re-enter it, and she'll hide someplace else.
Hope this helps! ♥
kORVUS 25 Jul @ 11:36am 
First, Nekis are officialy a Starbound vanilla race for me. The work in each scan dialogue, ship, interactions even with the Dungeons NPCs like Nuru are AMAZING!

Second, I can't seem to get Stripe at the Outpost. Could I get some help?
Byzod 13 Jun @ 10:39pm 
How would I live without these Neki wreaking havoc everywhere wantonnessly
Commander 4 Jun @ 10:06am 
Yess AndiBanandi put it perfectly! I'm loving my Neki playthrough for all the same reasons! And I felt genuine emotion when scanning many of the Apex items, seeing what my little Neki thought of them... such a fantastic mod, Juni!! :luv:
Juni  [author] 3 Jun @ 9:22am 
It's so awesome to hear that all of these little details are appreciated! ^-^
Thank you for taking the time to comment, it really means a lot to me ♥
AndiBanandi 3 Jun @ 6:54am 
I came into this expecting a crass catgirl, and did in fact get that. And then I kept playing and discovered an excellent narrative told through background details and codices. Things I had previously dismissed took on a new light as I learned more, and I found myself really getting into my character's head. It's not often that a mod or even a full game can make me do that, but I truly enjoyed this mod's hidden depths.
Commander 2 Jun @ 2:47pm 
Lol, I'm helping my partner do the bounty missions, playing as a Neki, so I noticed the "fucky wall" change really quickly. I really love the scan dialogue, it's so fun! Props to you for taking the time to write all of it :luv:
FlareFluffsune 2 Jun @ 11:39am 
More fuckyness or riot! lol
Juni  [author] 2 Jun @ 8:30am 
Yeah, I toned the fuckyness down just a tiny bit while working on the translation, a few instances felt a bit too out-of-place upon revisiting some of the scan descriptions :)
Commander 2 Jun @ 1:43am 
Did you switch "fucky wall" with "yucky wall"? Hehe. I kinda miss the fucky wall.
Juni  [author] 24 May @ 2:53pm 
That's intentional, it'd be too imbalanced otherwise :)
ultragamin 24 May @ 1:25pm 
when i have 2 of the elemental claw upgrades it only gives one of the resistances instead of both
ex if i have he fire and ice upgrades it's only giving me the ice resistance
Juni  [author] 12 May @ 8:30am 
Thank you! ^-^
I'm glad to hear you liked it so much ♥
Пряник 11 May @ 7:25am 
Thank you! You made a really cool mod. I haven't left Starbound for a week now
Juni  [author] 11 May @ 7:12am 
One of the Outpost visitors actually tells you about where they saw Neki ^-^
It's cold planets and Apex cities :)
Пряник 11 May @ 6:55am 
What types of stars and planets are best for searching for Neki?
