made getting my last achievement 100x less excruciating... tysm for this

Yeah this has absolutely no mod compatibility. Which is less than ideal.

Maybe I'll make a patch to add mod compat at some point

This is a fantastic mod if you're playing without mods that add fossils to the pool. Unfortunately, seele is right; I run both Frackin' Universe and Elithean Races, and none of the Elithean fossils have shown up despite a massive five-hour fossil raid on every nearby planet I could find.

I'm going to keep this installed, but if an Elithean patch could be made, I'd be most grateful -- I don't quite have the technical wherewithal to do so myself!

after i deleted this mode i cant find fossils from other modes.
how to fix it?

don't support fossils from other mods

@Russel Starwind
mod works fine for me. if you have Weapon Stats installed with FU then uninstall it as it breaks FU's guns.

this mod seems to break FU guns for some reason...makes it static and non-working... any ideas?

does this still work with 1.4?

I have, for a very long time, thought that the game should have already had the very functionality that your mod adds to fossils...

On a related note, I also think that if you have more fossil brushes in your inventory, then running out of the needed tools should not end the mini-game, but have the option to either end the mini-game or consume another brush. I am already adding your mod to my subscribe list, but if someone were to add this additional functionality, they would forever be my hero in the Starbound universe.....

Awesomesauce, thank you!

this is super cool thank you

Nice

@Thundercraft Thank you. I was just about to ask about that when I saw your post.

at first i expected it to have the lootpools of each piece type to be determined on what among the icons it were, but after reading the descriptions it wasn't like that, i don't mind that, its welcoming as it makes archeology significantly less tedious than what it already is in vanilla, im glad ive managed to complete 2 of the many large sets of fossils before ive decided to test the mod.

Client side?

In case anyone would like to know: This is compatible with either Minor Fossil Game Tweak or Fossil Game Tools +2 .

after various tedious hours grinding without this mod i give up and searched for any help and find this wonderful mod. THANK YOU

@4EyedFox, yup! I got the achievement for collecting all the fossils after I made/used this. As far as I'm aware, no mods prevent you from getting achievements.

does getting the fossil achievement still work

@Mizati13, I think that's definitely possible, but would be better off as a standalone mod. It would be incompatible with many of the existing fossil mods, due to requiring script editing. I'm unfortunately busy with work and some upcoming travel, but when I get back to mod work, it should be pretty quick to whip that up.

I do love this mod so much. The only comment I'd have, and please do feel free to ignore this if it's super hard/impossible, is to have the small fossils have smaller excavations(9-11 tile fossils to dig up).

Thanks for this.

Very cool and more realistic. Now I can know (sort of) what I am going for.
