The Radium Expansion 1.1 by Magitek
===============================

The Radium Expansion adds a new difficulty tier to the Starbound Beta 'Frustrated Koala' or 'Indignant Koala'.

The new Omega sector ranges in planet-level from 11-25 and holds the key to the new advanced ores 'Radium' and 'Iridium'.
The sector can be unlocked by finding the X Sector tech and then constructing the Omega sector map.

Weapons and armors are craft-able after unlocking the Omega sector through the metalwork table.
The nano-pickaxe is craft-able after just unlocking the X sector.

The new equipment is designed to withstand the harsher environments of the Omega sector and should be procured immediately.
Radium ore can be found generally on any planet with levels 11 and greater, while the iridium ore is more illusive and is found deep underground.

The Radium Expansion REQUIRES a new character due to the new sector (note below on installing into old characters).
TRE will only work in multiplayer if other players/servers have the mod installed.

Installation
============

Extract the contents of RadiumExpansion.zip directly to your Starbound/mods/ folder.
(The starbound folder is usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\)
If you have no mods folder, you will need to create one and place the extracted files into it.

Extracting the zip to the right location should give you /Starbound/mods/Radium/

You now need to browse to your Starbound executable folder (Starbound/win32/ usually) and open the bootstrap.config file with a text editor.
Insert the following into the bootstrap.config file at the BOTTOM of the asset sources:
"../mods/Radium"

Your bootstrap.config file should now look similar to this:

{
"assetSources" :[

"../assets",
"../mods/Radium"
],

After saving the changes you can now start a new character and search out the Omega sector!

Uninstalling
============
Remove the "../mods/Radium" line from your bootstrap.config file.
Uninstalling the mod is not possible without removing characters created with it.
Characters that started with the mod will generally not be salvagable after the removal of the Omega sector.
It may also be required to remove any characters from the players folder that were created with the expansion if you experience crashing after removing the mod.

Known issues
============

If The Radium Expansion is installed, older characters may not be able to access the starmap until the mod is disabled. TRE is only designed for new characters.
Disable TRE via the bootstrap.config file if you wish to play on older characters.
Balance seems good at maximum level with the best TRE equipment, but it may change in future patches, rendering the new equipment less useful.
Please remember that Starbound is currently in BETA, I cannot be held accountable for your characters spontaneously exploding etc.

Overrides
=========
The Radium Expansion overrides several critical gameplay files which may limit compatibility with future patches and other mods:

celestial.config (Omega sector, note: planet mods typically overwrite this file!)
player.config (new crafting recipes)
\biomes\oredistributions.configfunctions (radium and iridium ore distribution)

I recommend using Winmerge or similar to compare files and resolve conflicts should they occur with a future patch or another mod.

Note: TRE does not overwrite any Starbound data. It is a self contained mod.

Installing without a new character (unsupported!)
===============================================

If you wish to add TRE to an already active character, you must delete the celestial.config file from \Mods\Radium\

You will have to add items manually with a text editor to a category you have not discovered on your character, for example:
Sector X is 'level32'
Impervium ore is'level37'

Add the following items to whichever category you have not unlocked yet:

The items to add:
{ "item" : "nanopickaxe" },
{ "item" : "radiumbar" },

{ "item" : "radiumlegs" },

{ "item" : "radiumchest" },

{ "item" : "radiumhead" },

{ "item" : "radiumback" },

{ "item" : "iridiumbar" },

{ "item" : "iridiumlegs" },

{ "item" : "iridiumchest" },

{ "item" : "iridiumback" },
{ "item" : "iridiumhead" },

{ "item" : "radiumt11broadsword" },

{ "item" : "iridiumt11broadsword" },

{ "item" : "radiumt11axe" },

{ "item" : "iridiumt11axe" },

{ "item" : "radiumt11hammer" },

{ "item" : "iridiumt11hammer" },

{ "item" : "radiumt11dagger" },

{ "item" : "iridiumt11dagger" },

{ "item" : "radiumt11spear" },

{ "item" : "iridiumt11spear" }
,

If you added the items last in the list of items, ensure it does not have a comma, otherwise Starbound will crash spectacularly.
Please note Radium and Iridium are extremely rare in Sector X and may only be found in small quantities on unexplored level 10 planets.
