Jskode, you have to convert the ship image to dropship.png, dropshipblocks.png and dropship.structure files to place in the /assets/ships/(what race you want to have ship) and THEN use the domeship.shipworld to place the NPCs and blocks that are meant to be in the ship. Since the new update this is easy to glace over if you just started modding for Angry Koala, just follow some instructions online and you should be able to fix your ship mod! (Don't forget to use the default ship files as references and ask for help if you don't know what your doing.)
EDIT: ...Or you could just say for people to use Princeofmar5's Fully Customizable Ship mod... (Since you made the ship with the mod, if it's installed, the ship will NOT go to the default ship and would allow other players to see it without the mod.) Hope this all helps!
This is certainly an accomplishment. I love the design of this station, and would love to get it running on the server my friends and I play on. I host the server, so we usually convene on my ship. I thought it would be lovely to have such a vessel be our home base, but I can't seem to get it to function. I've followed the instructions to the letter on Beta V. Angry Koala, and no luck. Always defaults to the starter ship. I'm pretty sure it's Angry Koala's doing, but I don't know how to fix it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I did some research, and I have found that the devs have changed the format of .shipworld files (and .world files), and I'm not sure why. As a result, when an old file is used, it is wiped and replaced with a default ship. I have opened up the Domestation in a hex editor, and tried to change some of the formats to match that of the new files. I have tried this multiple times, but each time I do, the file gets overwritten with a new ship. As such, I have come to the sad conclusion that unless somebody comes up with a way to convert existing .shipworld files to the new format, this custom ship is entirely broken and completely useless (well isn't that just a kick in the head). I will update the main description to reflect this.
