As the title says, I'm brand new to modding for Starbound, and am using Skittles' Advanced Race Template as a launchpad for creating a new race for me and a friend to use when we play together.

I've extracted the FU files, put them in a place where the unpacked files don't get loaded and cause crashes, and have made a .raceeffects file in my own mod in the species folder. I've tried look around in the files for a place where race effects may be tied into various species, but so far I have been unable to find anything.

Nothing crashes anywhere, it's as if the effects file just doesn't exist at all. All stats for the race are unmodified.

I'm quite certain I'm just overlooking something and just don't know what I'm doing, so I'd like help if at all possible.


EDIT: After a lot of trial and error, I've figured out how to get the race effects working. Turns out I had one too many commas, and that broke the raceeffects file.
