I am getting a really long period between waking up and arriving at a planet on character start.
I actually go and talk to sail take the quest and open the door and access my navigation console.
That is when it prints errors....

#

note waiting for the ship to arrive at its first planet before opening the navigation console fixes the issue.

#

but it can sometimes take like 5 minutes

(CelestialException) CelestialSlaveDatabase::childOrbits called on null coordinate
I guess the ship starts literally nowhere and that script doesn't like that.

#

Starting warp takes longer because the game looks for a Lush planet and a suitable starting system for vanilla progression. And the more planet mods you have the less those systems there will be so.

#

You can remove those requirements though by patching them in universe_server.config

#

If you have TrueSpace
You don't need this, because TrueSpace already does this (among other things). It won't hurt anything to have both, but it won't DO anything either. I put this mod out there for people who don't want to install a complete universe generation overhaul just so new characters can get to playing faster.

#

I have true space

kindred yarrow May 15, 2026, 8:47 PM

#

Yeah it does forest and desert ones, just checked

#

So it's either the Lush, or the size of the Lush.

mint egret May 15, 2026, 8:48 PM

#

so then should I just subscibe to faster start while subscibed to true space?

kindred yarrow May 15, 2026, 8:49 PM

#

No since they have the same patch I'd imagine

#

📎 universe_server.config.patch

mint egret May 15, 2026, 8:49 PM

#

idk what to do then, since thats exactly what they do is patch universe_server.config

#

oh ok

kindred yarrow May 15, 2026, 8:50 PM

#

I just removed the size req too

#

try that

#

Actually here's with tests so it doesn't complain if they're already removed.

📎 universe_server.config.patch

mint egret May 15, 2026, 8:57 PM

#

Cool it works now

#

the test patch was nessary

@kindred yarrow is there a way to upload a starbound mod to steam on a linux machine?

kindred yarrow May 15, 2026, 9:05 PM

#

There is but I don't remember it off the top of my head

#

It's a launch option apparently

mint egret May 15, 2026, 9:08 PM

#

I just copied openstarbound over my steam starbound install but my original install doesn't come with a program to upload steam mods

#

oh ok

#

#

nope

#

I don't have the program

#

it doesn't come with linux version

kindred yarrow May 15, 2026, 9:09 PM

#

Hmm, guess it's per-distro?

mint egret May 15, 2026, 9:10 PM

#

I installed it via steam

#

Then I downloaded the client of osb and copied it over the steam files

kindred yarrow May 15, 2026, 9:11 PM

#

You should ask this in #mod_dev cus I'm still on binbows and honestly don't know the intricacies.
