Neb  [author] 9 Sep @ 9:55pm 
theres hylotl atm, but havent had time to do more
The Boyses 9 Sep @ 1:17pm 
is there avali/racial themed buildings?
Neb  [author] 25 Aug @ 1:43pm 
That isn't within the scope of this mod, and has been done by other mods. Perhaps if I were commissioned to I could!

Can you make it possible for people to create their own blueprints, and delete them to save space, without using Tiled? Like, add a Blueprint item (possibly made with Paper + Blue Dye) that lets you select an area and make a blueprint of it that you can use later.
Neb  [author] 6 Aug @ 7:56am 
I will need more explanation than that, where, when, was there a generator? etc
Cus by default, you can break em, nothing should be stopping you.

Why can't i break the blocks of my own cityscraped strcutures i put down?
Neb  [author] 14 Jul @ 5:03am 
What?

(The web adress at the bottom of page don't seem to be in the right order)
Neb  [author] 30 Jun @ 6:28pm 
With tiled, yes. Ingame, no.

Question: Can you make your own custom rooms?
Neb  [author] 29 May @ 10:22pm 
I could make an addon, and just use the assets from architects desk (it would still require the mod if thats fine)
Kinsect 29 May @ 6:09pm 
Say can you add all of the build-able structures from Architect's Desk?
Neb  [author] 26 May @ 4:45pm 
Copying structures is not what this is for, theres other mods for that, and its not practical for a mod like this.

Will have to check the planning table stuff.
kirb 26 May @ 3:39pm 
There also doesn't seem to be a planning bench in the inventor's table.
kirb 26 May @ 3:38pm 
So is it not possible to copy your own structures and use them as prefabs in this?
TheTwilightDancer 30 Apr @ 8:26pm 
I tested and my addon still works flawlessly. Older placed structures will still have monsters in them sadly, but it can be fixed now by crafting and placing the dungeon sections over top of the ones that are there already. The replacement structure will no longer spawn new monsters inside of them. :) I can't figure out why some of the dungeon sections are being offset when I place them though.
Kinsect 5 Apr @ 9:42am 
Say would it be ok to include some Apex/Miniknog structures?
been trying to make some laboratories ^^;;
Ilthe 23 Mar @ 11:05pm 
omg I need new glasses I guess lol
thanks for the good work, I love using this mod for simplified building, since my building talents are lacking
Neb  [author] 23 Mar @ 10:25pm 
Yeah, as it says in the description and discussion, old addons still work! They just won't be as detailed as the new stuff.
Ilthe 23 Mar @ 8:39pm 
Would old addons work with this new update, or I'll need to wait for the addon author to update to the new system?
Holla Back Dad 23 Mar @ 3:16pm 
I wish I was better at building so I could make an addon for this mod. I love the concept and the prefabs that are included with this mod. It has been a staple in my modded Starbound worlds for over a year now. Thank you for making this, Neb!
Neb  [author] 23 Mar @ 5:55am 
Githubs also been updated, for both the main mod and template
Neb  [author] 23 Mar @ 3:13am 
Nephirus90 23 Mar @ 3:07am 
Oh, nice to know :)!
About the additions the ones I created are created using "Base in a box/Modules in a box" framework mod, not this one. Plus I'm not very good at building/aesthetics and I'm quite ashamed to make them public XD
Neb  [author] 23 Mar @ 3:01am 
Nephirus, there is huge cost differences in the types now, I'm updating screenshots but take a look! Also if you have content additions, I heavily suggest creating addons publicly, and I can advertise them here! You're just in time for the party too lol
Neb  [author] 23 Mar @ 3:00am 
Update released!
Nephirus90 23 Mar @ 2:51am 
Yeah I think this cost method is more balanced, it was strange to me the use of essences.
This is more in line with the costs I gave to the blueprints I created and saved with "base in a box" and I always appreciate the consistency in my game runs :)
I know it's a bit late for further edits but if possible make a clear cost difference between big and small "dungeons/rooms/prefab" or atleast between the 3 categories.
Thanks for everything
Neb  [author] 23 Mar @ 2:31am 
Update dropping later today!
Neb  [author] 16 Mar @ 3:25am 
Alright, update should be coming this month, with:
- Fixing the monster spawn issues
- A UI update, fixing some problems and adjusting the cost system
- Cost rework; will now cost a small amount (max of 50) of the main blocks in the build (not the detail blocks), along with an upgrade module and some pixels completely eliminating the old essence cost
- New rooms, prefabs and dungeons

Give me thoughts about this cost system since its more balance side and accessible throughout the entire game.
darkness tank 21 Jan @ 2:48am 
ton mode es super je me crée des building de fou merci:steamthumbsup:
Neb  [author] 6 Jan @ 3:23am 
I wonder if this has something to do with whether the player placed it or not? The monster fixes I'm looking into tonight.
Saturn's Ring 5 Jan @ 7:57am 
Playing with this more, it seems monsters aren't the only thing that can get in despite the prefabs being sealed. Snow coverage builds up in the Outpost rooms, even though I am walling off the sides with doors I'm not using as well as placing several partly below the planet surface. Presume the same would happen with sand and other weather effects.
Saturn's Ring 4 Jan @ 6:06pm 
I also feel a little let down myself, as there's very few prefabs to use (I am very thankful most of them are Outpost themed at least, I love the style of the tiles for it). Addons would be the lifeblood of this mod, but the only 3 available addons are for mods I don't run myself. I'd love to see more vanilla buildings made available to use for the mod, or at least more in the Outpost style. But I do really love this mod, I always prefer using prefabs & plots similar to Fallout 4's famous Sim Settlements mod as opposed to building from the ground up one thing at a time and this lets me do just that.

As for the monster spawns inside the prefabs, how would one prevent/combat this until a bugfix? I'm not familiar with how Starbound spawns in monsters so I'm unsure if it would be as simple as keeping rooms well lit or above a certain height, etc.
Neb  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 9:16pm 
I would argue a single bug and being a framework doesn't make it terrible. Its a framework, so addons are what are relevant to the mod. The practice is how it feels to use, rather than the amount of content.
xMR_FRODOx 21 Dec, 2024 @ 8:51pm 
In premise this is good. In practice it is terrible. Enemies spawn in rooms causing a loop of colonist deaths. There also isn't very many prefabs available.
TheTwilightDancer 1 Dec, 2024 @ 6:15pm 
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1878418833 I wonder if this mod does anything different because I use it alongside CityScaper, but this one doesn't have monsters spawn inside the structures. I think I might unpack Architect's Desk and see if there's something I can find that doesn't spawn monsters in those structures. Maybe it'll solve CityScaper's monster woes? :steamthis:
Brightwind 6 Nov, 2024 @ 12:36am 
@RetroRoger thanks! had a feeling it was just needed to be sure XD
RetroRoger 5 Nov, 2024 @ 5:43pm 
@BrightwindInk yes its that endgame stuff you get at ancient vaults
Brightwind 5 Nov, 2024 @ 5:01pm 
Sorry if this is a dumb question, im still mid-game (Apex boss). Is the "essence" a short version for Ancient Essence or another item altogether?
Randal 1 Nov, 2024 @ 8:32am 
sounds great to have the option of blocks or essence :steamthumbsup:
Neb  [author] 30 Oct, 2024 @ 3:30pm 
An idea for how I'm gonna handle costs, there will be a general recipe or a "buy with essence" option, in case you don't wanna fetch hundreds of blocks.
Neb  [author] 30 Oct, 2024 @ 3:26pm 
The Saturnian descriptions mentions something about this.
I believe its world edit for saving builds.
Randal 30 Oct, 2024 @ 9:29am 
also could you point me in the direction of the saving builds mod
Randal 30 Oct, 2024 @ 9:22am 
i have a question about monster spawning within the build area
basically
how do you stop it?

i used cityscaper for the first time yesterday to create a moth man floaty town thingy

i placed it close to the ground
on a gas giant moon
with a midnight biome / frozen tundra

so there is loads of ghosts and other monsters

i put the prefab in an existing town that had been killed of by the wildlife

placed a load of turrets around place to combat that problem

but

there is always monsters spawned inside the structure of the moth house town thingy

have i just placed it over a spawn point or has the structure got a spawn setting that needs altering

i know the moth add-on is an addition to this mod but i wondered if you might know whats happening
Randal 30 Oct, 2024 @ 9:06am 
great to see more creations added

another great addon
Neb  [author] 30 Oct, 2024 @ 5:12am 
listed it in the addons section!
TheTwilightDancer 30 Oct, 2024 @ 4:50am 
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357162344 After fighting with whatever corrupted my village into crashing the game every time it would spawn naturally or trying to place a blueprint with this mod, I finally got it uncorrupted (somehow) with the help of Sva (Arcana mod author). But anyways, support for Deerfolk Unbound: Fauns and Satyrs and CityScaper has finally been made!
ninjared1212 30 Oct, 2024 @ 12:17am 
ah ok, i didnt even know there was another mod that lets you save builds

also good luck on exams neb! hope everything goes well for you
Neb  [author] 29 Oct, 2024 @ 3:02pm 
Saving builds will not be done, since there is already a mod that does that, this is just a prefab builder. Essence changes are coming in a few months once exam periods end.
