Starbound: Universal Expansion (Alpha)
—————————————————————————————————————————————
About
Welcome to the Starbound: Universal Expansion steam workshop page! “What is Starbound: Universal Expansion?” You ask? Starbound: Universal Expansion is a large mod planned to improve old removed features of the game or disabled features and integrate them into the current game, as well as add some new ones when needed. The keyword though is “planned”, this mod will be ever expanding; it will work on features in chunks. Some examples of chunks might be working on everything related to weapon, then working on armors, then objects, etc. Currently in the mod are way more craftable tiered weapons, some tools, foods, fuels, and a few other miscellaneous things. Another point of this mod is to keep to Starbound’s style while improving and integrating old features, and when adding any new ones along the way. The mod is in early alpha so don’t be surprised if you need to reset the universe once biomes and planets are added or some items are removed or changed. If you like this mod and think other people would like it make sure to give it some positive ratings to let it be seen more in the workshop.

FAQ
Q Is this mod compatible with __________?
A This mod should be compatible with almost every mod because of its ID system, but with some mods there might be duplicate items since that mod might add the same items mine does. The only time this mod might cause incompatibility issues is with patch file conflicts and some crafting interface changes (needed for more tabs).

Bug Reports
If you have a bug report for the mod, make sure to attach your game log through pastebin.com. The game log can be found in your Starbound directory in the "storage" folder; the name of the file is "starbound.log". To put the log onto pastebin just copy and paste all the text into the website and click "Create New Paste", then put the link in your bug report and I can try and figure out what the problem could be.
Another important thing to include in a bug report: if you have any mods except Starbound: Universal Expansion, list them in the bug report.
It is okay to report small seemingly insignificant bugs like a perfectly generic item as loot or maybe part of an item having a weird offset like a muzzleflash. I want to make this mod as polished as possible.
