Thank you SO MUCH for this!! Honestly, I wouldn't mind an alternate version of this mod that tweaked the current codices to be consistent with the old ones, instead of vice versa. Heh.

Wonder what Ashton Raze is up to now.

Food for thought innit?

Okay, good to know. I will continue the search lol

oh damn, not that i know of? this mod adds the books to treasure pools but it doesn't make them craftable. i think that might be another mod on your end?

Hello Gensou Ichida, does this mod add any craftable codexes that might cause the following error when crafting paper the first time?

[Error] Could not instantiate item '[librarybook, 1, {}]'. (ItemException) No such item 'librarybook'

Cool.

son of a bitch, i completely forgot about that

yeah most of the codexes i ganked from enraged koala, hence why it was absent here. i do have the glad giraffe assets and my code's ported over to github, so i'll work on adding the pre-lore-overhaul giraffe codexes too when i'm not busy.

look forward to it!

Hey what about the ''Agaran menace'' codex? will you ever add it too?

if not, i'll see what i can do to fix things. haven't poked around with the new update, so lemme know if anything breaks.

I sure hope this mod still works with 1.4. ^^

noooooooot entirely understanding what you mean? <:I

i do plan on making a version of the mod with the original unedited codexes from the koala build, but it's gonna be a while before i get to it. haven't really touched starbound modding in a while.

Actually Codexes that doesn't go along each other would be much more realistic, as there's always an author behind a book, and that author might actually write things, that aren't true. Also books were often copied, and there could also an error be made. So I would like if there would be the reedited AND the original Codexes.

Understood. Thanks a ton for the prompt response!

i'll get around to making an "uncut" version of the mod eventually. i say eventually because it's going to take a while bringing the text of the orig codex files into SB 1.0; the way the files are structured isn't the same.

Could you make a branch of this mod that includes all the legacy lore unedited, including the contradictory snippets? I'd really appreciate that.

Nice work!

@*Yuki*

i'm only doing codexes. unfortunately i'm not savvy enough in SB modding to add racial questlines, and that shit would take even longer to add because of planning and level design alongside actual implementation.

if anyone wants to do it, they're free to. i'd honestly love a total conversion a la FU that makes the feel of the game closer to what was planned during the Koala era. ;;

@HALLEY_SHURA, do you have plans to add just lore pages, or will add some content to the top of it (for example - racial-exclusive storylines) too?

@pancake, coz 1.0 was rushed.
Some core people, who used to originally work on starbound, left (forgot if they left chucklefish completely or just starbound dev team). Game used to stale in early access state for a long time to make community riot. So - they decided to rush 1.0 "as is" and cut lot of things, that wasnt finished, in order to fix them post-release (mechas, for example. Also novakid villages. Also really long list of stuff, that didnt come back yet). Obviosly such butchering wont work well with lore, especially since it was built around unimplemented content (if I remember correctly, each race should had their own unique tutorial and story). So - they shared what (I suppouse) used to be human's race story to everyone and push it into release.

I used to own starbound for a really long time. I swear, that protectorate bs, we got in 1.0 was added to unstable in like 2-3 patches (around month, mybe even less) before full release.

Great, thanks for this. I wonder why they rewrote pretty much the entire story from scratch right at the end of development. Was it to make the game's universe more morally simplistic, and in line with the game's cutesy art style? Or was the alpha/beta lore a placeholder put there for the benefit of alpha/beta testers, so they wouldn't be spoiled when the real lore and story came out?
