Initially started as a dungeon port from an actual Beta version of Starbound I came across on Archive org. Only to later pivot into fixing/bundling together the Shadowwolftjc’s Legacy collection of mods instead, after getting sick enough of crashes due to asset mismatches (no regrets).

Note: While I did playtest it extensively, due to sheer amount of files involved there’s a potential non-zero chance that something did get past my attention, so please do report any crashes in the comments.

Warning: incompatible with "Legacy Microdungeons" duo of mods, "Legacy Dungeons (NPCs/Objects/Biomes)" are fine, however.

Features:

  • 7 major dungeons;
  • 20 microdungeons with countless sub-variations (most of which were not even in that beta copy I had, so thanks again to Shadowwolftjc for those);
  • Merged microdungeons with their modified version from the Legacy Pack, as well as done some touch-ups on a bunch of them;
  • Reimplemented dungeon NPCs with some changes and additional gear variations added to fit the theme better;
  • 4 reimplemented dungeon monsters, 3 robots from the human bunker, and a Shroomling from the Mushroom biome;
  • 1 restored cave biome – Abandoned Mines, with reimplemented "MoleCave" microdungeon residing in it (It’s a long horisontal mineshaft. Took some notes from Betabound’s "CoralTemple" implementation and just iterated on it.
    Original version of that microdungeon is in this mod’s files as well, but not set to spawn anywhere as it’s basically identical and too intrusive to do anything with, spawnable with "/placedungeon bk_coraltemple");
  • 1 "rare" terrain feature, "Platforming" for surface biomes what didn’t have them;
  • More Planet Info icons and descriptions.

Technical differences from the Legacy Pack (Non-Exhaustive):

  • Were here at some point, but gotten so big that I decided instead to just put them as a .txt file inside the mod itself, for those who really want (or need) to see it.

Enjoy
