probably does, I'll have to test at some point

I think I found a possible conflict if you have Yet More Things For Crew to Do
since once you defeat the Erchius Horror it replaces the npc with a Lunar Expert you can hire as a crew member
I haven't tested it yet though

just the erchius crystal boss

Does the bossfight music replace all boss fight songs?
it only replaces the Erchius boss fight music?

Stopped playing starbound for a bit and came back to make a new player and wondered why this boss was so hard.

10/10 would get my Balls laser'd off again.

hmm maybe you could make this another instance of the mission on the ship with its own ID? that should help fix any incompatibility while also allowing for even more versions in the future

ok now make it VERY painful

ooohh ok

They wear red like the soldiers do, but instead of a protectorate uniform they wear the gear pictured above as their default uniform.

adds a new crew mate huh? nice. what color armor does the bruiser crew member wear? if you don't mind me asking.

It does change stuff from the level. It is intended for use with vanilla and has never been tested with FU.

Did you touch something from the mission level itself? because it might affect FU somehow, the FU erchius level gets replaced with the vanilla one and also makes a straight bottomless pit near the final spawn

(Its still Playable)

excellent choice in boss music, 10,000/10

No idea, someone would have to test it.

does work with FU?

after having played this mission with so many different characters now, this mod makes for a great change-up ;)

it's a lot easier when you have armor and salves

Was already pretty painful already - truly the most painful stage of the early game.

The purpose of this mod is to make the mission feel like an actual challenge, rather than a painless obstacle. This is what I meant by "slightly painful".

Was it not painful enough?

I just tested and it is still feasible to beat the mission with no armor so long as you use iron tier weapons, a more patient playstyle, and heavy use of salves. Also make sure to save ~6 bandages for the mission to get you out of binds.

I usually beat the place without armor.

I get two shot by everything, sure, but it's very possible so long as I can heal.

Nevermind what I just said turns out I was just accidentally testing with higher than tier 1 weapons and it's working fine.

A temporary warning, this seems to be working weird for me when using the workshop version. I will have to look to see what the issue is. Maybe it's a load order issue.

Yeah, someone asked me before release if I planned to do this for all the missions. I am still considering it right now.

Have you considered making a series based on this concept?
