Inkbound: A Splatoon Mod

Inkbound is a sprawling mod that brings the world of Splatoon to Starbound. Play as upright cephalopods with rich cultures and histories, explore the galaxy with tons of custom weapons and gear, find friends along the way in new dungeons, and carve out a colorful space of your very own.

(Be sure to check this mod’s dependencies, as like other mods that add new playable races, it needs a species extender.)

=================================================

What does Inkbound contain?

– Two new playable races, known individually as Inklings and Octolings, or together as inkfish.
Both have tons of custom content, such as unique pets + S.A.I.L., semi-custom ships, custom hairstyles and color options, fully-tiered armor and weapons made just for them, and so much more.
And even if you don’t play as an inkfish, you can find them as NPCs in the wilds, or as tenants in your colonies!

– 200+ custom objects to spice up your space with legendary inkfish flair. A lot of it can be crafted or bought, but some rare treasures have to be learned in special ways… or even found at the bottom of the ocean!
– 40+ custom sets of armor with tiered stats, as well as tons of other clothing items to mix and match. Want to be an idol, an agent, or an Octoling soldier? This mod’s got just the gear for you, whoever you want to be.

– 45+ custom weapons that range from tier 1 to tier 6, all based off of the many weapons from the Splatoon series. Any race can use these: no ink required!
– 25+ custom codices all about the lore and lives of these strange cephalopods. These range wildly, from the backstories of famous idol groups, to reflecting on the bloody history of the Great Turf War. All codices are either craftable and/or can be found as planetside items.
– 30+ new food items, 3 new crafting tables, 2 new crops and more: you’ll have no shortage of fun new stuff to make. Or, if you prefer taking stuff apart instead, you can use the Octarian Scrap Table to repurpose resources from junk you’ve collected!

– 2 custom dungeons and quite a few microdungeons. These include not just large NPC settlements with tons of residents and secrets, but smaller habitations too.. including close encounters with dangerous foes.
– A bit of extra fun added to Oceanic planets! These now house different crops, new treasure, and a handful of new residents.

– And even more than I can list here! This mod’s been in development for 8 years now, originally released for Starbound v1.0, and so has a ton of stuff in it. It’s up to you to discover it all!

======================

Compatibility & Recommended Mods:

As previously stated, this mod requires a species extender for Inklings and Octolings to be playable races.

That said, Inkbound should be compatible with nearly anything.
If any incompatibilities are discovered, please bring them to my attention so I can see if they can be fixed on Inkbound’s end.

Here’s a list of mods that compliment Inkbound!

– Race Traits
– More Planet Info (Be 100% sure to install the two patches that help this mod work!)
– Paintballs Paint Blocks

– Improved Containers
– Enhanced Storage Patch (Requires base Enhanced Storage: this patch enables it for this mod’s contents!)
– BYOS Inkling ship
– Kraken Inkling ship
