What planets can I find the chests on? And will any spawn on Maple32 planets?

@FrossD It should be a drop from when you beat Asra again before fighting the ruin

Noob question; how do I get the human artifact orb? When I went to the Ruin planet, I got a message from SAIL while exploring about readings from the human artifact and retrieving it while I still can, but I'm not entirely sure what this means. Is it placed as an object somewhere in the Ruin world? Does the boss drop it? Thanks in advance!

Maybe put it in a separate mod just in case someone has their own implemented.

Also, Dev, can you make a Black Armory ship for human race?

Highly recommend this mod, still works, it's easy to access, saved my butt various times in game, this mod is a NEED.

The logo looks like one of those runes you'd draw in pokémon rangers guardian signs to summon a legendary.

@Kirin Hey, thanks for reaching out to me! I had taken a moment to step back from modding to settle some IRL issues. I think I am at a stable enough position to get back to it. I am currently in the process of working on resolving that issue. Please keep the orbs and do not throw any of them away! You will need it. :D

@Mjgibbs Blueprint Drives, found in caches across the universe. There is an unresolved bug that causes them to generate, even in instances unintentionally. The instance generation will not be fixed, but there is an alternative to some of the recipes that will be coming up for this update. Please stand by <3

I've gotten all the orbs and I still don't see the recipe at the station, even after dropping the human orb and picking it back up again. What do I do?

@Variable Yes, high tier

Question about the titansteel backpack item - the one that says it's a jetpack and an EPP. What TIER of EPP is it? Does it provide the full protection even against hot environments?

I keep forgetting it's you! my friend! that made this mod that I love!

anyone know how the unlock the recipe for the weapons and other stuff

Thank you very much!

As long as you give credit, you can.

Hello, may I ask if I can translate this mod into Chinese and publish it on Starbound Workshop?

@SpaceCats Just that. 10x20mm. Remember, it's a sci-fi game. There can be crazy calibers out there.

what is the raptor k10 supposed to be chambered in? the closest i could find to 10x20mm is .40 S&W, which is 10x21

@variablevixen thanks! I thought she might be a Felin - will add that mod to my list so that she isn't the only cat person in the universe

@Tender Tendrils - IIRC, one or two of her radio messages mention "this felin" or something to that effect

Forgive me if this is explained somewhere or if the story of the mod reveals this later, but is there a canon as to what kind of cat-person Sheila is? There are a variety of mods that add cat-people of various kinds to the game, and was wondering if there is one that Sheila is supposed to be.

I got all of the orbs, I saw a popup for a blueprint recipe or something but I forgot what it was and I don't see anything in the workshop that uses them.

@Vixen I think another creator has made a mod to make this compatible with Enhanced Storage. I dunno about the Food Stack. I don't plan to make any compatible mods for this. If anyone wishes to do that, I will allow it, but make sure to ask and give credit.

Is there any compatibility patch for Enhanced Storage anywhere? I'd really like to be able to name my titansteel containers, sort their contents, quick stack items into them, stuff like that.

Another one I'd love to see compatibility for is Food Stack so I can use the titansteel fridges to merge stacks of perishable food.

@KiberVolk well that is a shame although I do wish you the greatest of ease and luck with developing and maintaining this mod.

@SpaceCatsFTW, I have tried to get such a thing to happen, though the problem is, making an entire treasurepool for the ruin after you kill it is impossible as it doesn't disappear like an enemy does when you kill it. That is why I have chosen Asra's second fight. If you are skipping that, then you will be missing out as there is no other alternative.

@Mr Builder, I am happy that you are considering it, but unfortunately, black and red is the theme of the mod. I apologize in advance.

By any chance is there a blue variant of the items? I would love to use this mod but red is a color I have a slight disdain for.

yeah uh, using the second asra fight for the human orb is a REALLY bad idea, there's at least one mod that completely removes this second fight, and makes the human orb completely unobtainable. maybe make it a quest reward for the defeat the ruin quest?

@Trogdude, During the Ruin Fight

@KiberVolk, The first Asra Nox fight in the library? Or during the ruin fight?

@Trogdude, You needed to fight Asra Nox, which it should have dropped for her. Do you have a mod that alters any of the missions?

@outcognito Thanks for the feedback. I'll consider it when I learn how to make quests.

black_humanorb

I defeated the ruin and I did not get the human artifact. Is there a spawn ID for it?

It took me about 400 blueprints to unlock all (I think) items. This would've been maddening if I did this legit way and had to find 200 pretty rare caches, obviously.

IMO, blueprints should be reworked or gone entirely. It's not a good system, it's not rewarding and it's not fun. It would've been much better if unlocking new items was tied to resources player has currently. For example, Sheila would give quests to bring her rarer and rarer resources, unlocking appropriate categories of craftable items as rewards. This way progression would've looked like this: "Blocks and furniture > Basic equipment > Medium equipment > Heavy equipment > Experimental equipment". This system avoids relying on frustrating RNG and makes gear progression linear, engaging and fun.

P.S. Item ID for blueprint is `black_blueprintdrive`

Should blocks be locked behind blueprints too? Weapons and armor are overpowered enough to perfectly justify locking them behind exploration, but locking blocks too seems a bit excessive

Thank you! <3

Yes, but the Black Armory Caches will not spawn until you go to an unexplored planet. Plus, remember to go buy the flashlight from the Infinity Express at the Outpost.

Is this mod safe to be added mid-game? Sorry, I'm not fully familiarized with what is and is not safe yet! Ty! ^_^

@Like A Gent: I've been looking into that and I'm considering it. It'll take a moment to get it working but I like that idea.

I flicked through the comments so I don't know if this was suggested before, but wouldn't it make more sense for the repulsors to be a 2h item? Firing the lasers with primary and alt-fire being the flight stabiliser?

Does this mod have compat with More Planet Info, to indicate whether a planet has a cache on it? Because that would be really convenient if it does, for when you're trying to hunt up all the blueprints.

I'll try that if the issue happens again. I had other bugs that required a full rest of the game so I'm starting my playthrough over.

Did you get the magnorb blueprint? Drop the human orb and pick it back up

I don't think I ever got the crafting recipe for it.

You make the Artifact Magnorbs.

Not sure if anyone can help but what can I do with all the orbs once I have all 6?

I had to take some time away due to some major mental health needs, but I was more than capable of fighting through and getting myself pushed back onto my feet and prepare to take this mod to the next step. I understand I had let people down to my numerous promises that I would get something out and had not delivered, so I wanted to make sure I delivered as soon as humanely could. Your patience and understanding that I am just a human is the inspiration I needed to help me get through my dark time, so thank you all for that. Without further ado, I would like to introduce to you my biggest update yet; The Black Armory, version 4.2, officially dubbed 'the Weapons Overhaul Update'. Happy Halloween, everyone!!! Enjoy. :3

My fellow subscribers... I would like to take this time to thank you all for your continuous support and dedication to The Black Armory. About four years ago, I had discovered this game. I was intrigued by the design and similarities it had to many of my favorite survival games like Minecraft, Terraria and even Space Engineers. I was not expecting this game to convince me to get involved within the modding community. However, two and a half years later, hard work and dedication has brought me to a certain point. I am so happy to where I have been and had ended up now.

lookin' forward for new toys, yeahw!
