StarPounds

A mod for Starbound that adds body shapes of various sizes and weight gain. Watch your belly swell as you eat, food or others, or subject the npcs of the various worlds to it instead.

Installation

Installation is the same as any other Starbound mod. Simply extract the .pak files from the mod archive directly into your /Starbound/mods folder. Do not put the entire ZIP file into the mods folder.

The /mods directory should look like the following:

mods_go_here
StardustLite.pak
Starpounds.pak
Starpounds-ExtendedRaces.pak
Starpounds-Throgverse.pak
...

If you have QuickBarMini or Stardust Core installed either within your mods folder or on the steam workshop. Remove them so they do not conflict with StardustLite which is essential.

FAQ

How do I enable the mod?

Assuming you've installed Stardust Core Lite correctly (Bundled in the mod archive, but you can also download it from the either the Workshop or GitHub), you should have a menu icon to access the QuickBar in the right sidebar (☰). Click the StarPounds button to bring up the mod's quick menu, and click the green button at the bottom to toggle the mod.

How do I unlock skills?

You can unlock skills at an Infusion Table using Experience.

You can also access the skill menu from the QuickBar at any time, however you won't be able to unlock skills ones without an Infusion Table.

How do I get Experience?

Experience is gained by eating. The amount gained is directly correlated to how much food an item provides, multiplied by its rarity:	Rarity	Multiplier
Common	1x
Uncommon	1.25x
Rare	1.5x
Legendary	1.75x
Essential	2x

Your progress to the next level can be seen in the Skills menu. Each additional level takes more Experience than the last, so it's recommended you spend your levels instead of accumulating large amounts.

How do I get an Infusion Table?

You can craft an Infusion Table at the Inventor's Table.

How do I get Accessories?

Accessories are found as random loot, and themed accessories have a higher chance to spawn in some of the mod's dungeons. You can also purchase jewellery boxes from random Throg merchants you encounter.
