#Interacting with NPCs causes them to instantly die

And I am aware of the high amount of errors, that's not concern as none of them correlate to the random NPC death as far as I'm aware, just nonexistent items.

#

Also a weird occurrence is that some monsters will just die when they get near me, which is strange.

#

I don't remember installing anything that does that.

#

I mean it probably results from an attempt to interact

#

Iirc this happens with a broken dialogue message file, whatever those were called... Lemme check

Yeah that

jaunty canopy
#

Do I need to just delete that file so a new one can generate or are there any pointers as to what mod's breaking the file?

fluid ice
#

you appear to have a great many broken mods

grim jasper
#

The game won't regenerate that afaik

#

It's not like a MC mod config that's just settings, that file IS the dialogue data

jaunty canopy
#

Probably shouldn't be surprised my game's shitting itself

#

considering 997 mods are installed-

grim jasper
#

W H Y

#

That is a beyond absurd number of mods

jaunty canopy
#

Someone has likely done worse to the game

#

welp time to remove all my mods and go through them one by one-

grim jasper
#

The fact that it hasn't crahed too

jaunty canopy
#

For the most part

#

Occasional stutters here and there

grim jasper
#

Were you just grabbing everything that looks neat off the Workshop or something?

jaunty canopy
#

Yeah pretty much, I'm a content hoarder

#

I just watch out for anything FU related and avoid it

grim jasper
#

Yeah that ain't gonna work with SB

fluid ice
#

you don't appear to have succeeded, as several errors are related to missing FU data

jaunty canopy
#

Yeah I'm not sure what's going on there. I'm guessing remnants are still present from the time I completely uninstalled the mod

#

Probably missed a spot

grim jasper
#

Installing FU is a one-way trip per the dev...

jaunty canopy
#

Yeah I know the procedure.

#

Delete player and universe

grim jasper
#

If you decide to uninstall it, you have to nuke everything

jaunty canopy
#

I did that

fluid ice
#

unless you kept your storage folder, you can't really have "remnants" of a mod, unless you manually installed it to your mods folder and didn't delete the folder

jaunty canopy
#

I'll go ahead and sort through this dumpster fire

grim jasper
#

Another alternative is a neat little launcher called Multibound

jaunty canopy
#

I've tried to get multibound running but I could never get it to launch

grim jasper
#

You probably have your SB installed somewhere weird and you need to point Multi to where the game is

#

I had to do that to set it back up on here

jaunty canopy
#

I have starbound installed on an external hard drive because there's no way in hell all my games are gonna be able to sit on a 200-500GB SSD

grim jasper
#

Cause I was going from a slightly odd location to a normal one

#

Ah, yep

#

Also your load times are... dear god

#

I don't think I even want to know

jaunty canopy
#

It just takes a couple minutes, not very long.

grim jasper
#

Nearly 1000 mods on an external

jaunty canopy
#

Tops 5-6 minutes.

grim jasper
#

What how

jaunty canopy
#

I do not know how-

grim jasper
#

Also SB is only a couple gigs

#

It's not a big game at all

#

I slapped it on my laptop to work on my mods and it has a 250GB SSD with roughly 18 gigs left lmao

jaunty canopy
#

Well with SSD's I don't wanna write to them too much since they do have a limit

#

I only use it as basic programs and boot drive

#

Everything else goes to the mechanical

grim jasper
#

The limit is very high iirc

#

My laptop uses only a SSD cause I carry it around and my desktop uses an NVMe and nothing else, but if I need to I'll hook up one of my platter drives

jaunty canopy
#

I'm just surprised it took this long for the game to start breaking

#

But, alas
