[DEVBLOG#294] Vanilla Races Expanded - Starjack infographics
🕑 Added 2025-07-18 17:43:23 +0000 UTCHey folks!
We have been hard at work when it comes to overhauling starjacks in Odyssey DLC. It's a really cool, orbit-oriented xenotype, but it feels a bit too 'safe', as if Ludeon was afraid to leap further with them. And maybe they were. But we aren't.
This mod will push starjacks to the extreme, making them extremely effective in space, and borderline useless on the surface.
I have now prepared the infographics, so you can dive in and see all the cool new genes coming in this mod.
It's also fully coded, so we are preparing for release now!
Without further a-do, let's take a look at the fancy images!
Let me know what you think, and while you do that, I will return to modding mines. Let's just say I've hit a huge vein of gravship-moddium. Need to mine that. Lol.

Correct xd error on my part. Good eye.

Is it a error that it shows that the starjack doesn't come with gravship affinity

There has been a slight chance in the mod design since I posted the infographics. The tail is what gives them the ability to jump. It’s a dexterous fifth limb that lets them not only propel themselves over long distances but also stick the landing by grabbing onto something. This means that it’s the tail that allows them to jump, further than any normal human could. Tail won’t be toggleable but the xenotype editor will let you remove it, but with it, the jump ability.

My only "complaint" is the space jump. Like they get a skill to jump? I mean couldn't literally anyone jump in space and it carry you further than on earth cause of gravity and the lack of it you know. I mean it's neat that they get additional abilities in space but the jump ability just seems like a "I didn't want to spend more time on thinking about the idea of an ability, so I just stuck with it" kind of thing. That's not meant to be an insult at all, before anyone takes it like I'm talking smack about the team. To be completely fair, as I'm writing this I can't think of a better option for an ability, I just wanted to point out my thoughts on it. Also if they have tails, I hope that they're toggleable or removable. I don't like tails all that much honestly, except for like on the cat people and yttakin types.
