NOTE: I'm going to stop updating the mod on this site in favour of the official Starbound mods site. See here: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/binarysuns.57/

WARNING - DO NOT USE ON AN EXISTING SAVE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ON ANY PLANET YOU WANT TO KEEP - WARNING

Title: Binary Suns
Version: 1.1
Creator: Astrus
Date: 11/12/2013
Starbound Version: Annoyed Koala (or Frustrated Koala... The launcher and game are conflicting!)

Description:

This mod adds binary star systems to your galactic map. This is not a purely cosmetic change, as the various binary systems have different temperate zones which I believe can influence which planet biomes spawn where.

The mod does not yet make any changes on the world levels. There is still only one sun. Doesn't look like there's a way to change this... Yet.

WARNING - DO NOT USE ON AN EXISTING SAVE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ON ANY PLANET YOU WANT TO KEEP - Using this mod on an existing save will result in a reshuffling of planets and star systems on the galactic map. It won't break an existing save in that you can continue playing just fine. Your ship will also be fine. However, planets will no longer be in the same place, which I'm pretty sure means they're gone for good. There's unfortunately no way around this, it's just how Starbound's generation system works.


Installation:

Extract the zip to your main Starbound folder.

If you are already using a modified win32/bootstrap.config file, then do NOT override it. You'll have to add my mod manually.

If you are using any other OS, then you'll have to add my mod manually to the relevant bootstrap.config. Here's a handy link:

Compatability:

Incompatible with any mods that alter:

assets/celestial.config

If you know anything about Starbound modding, it's fairly easy to make it compatible if you want.


Permissions:

If you would like to use this mod for any purpose, feel free... Provided you notify me that you are, and give me credit for it.
