For example if you wanted more Cerulium ore, scroll to the far right and you will see it with a low spawn rate number next to it, change the number of both of them to 10 which will spawn that ore 1000% more on the surface. at the top it shows 'surfaceOres' and the number to the left shows the Planet threat level of which the ore will spawn on. The layout is a lot better when opened with Notepad++ but you can still open it with any other word processor software. Save the file and Start up Starbound againįor ores you want to go into the other folder called Ore distributions. Do the same for the 'undergroundChests' and/or 'minibiomeChests' if you want more of those as well. Really for this you can just replace he number with 1. e.g typing the the following values, 10 = 1000% chance to spawn, 1 = 100% chance to spawn, and 0.5 = 50% chance to spawn. you can replace that number to a higher value to up the spawn rate on the spawning of the chests but do not set it too high or this will crash your game.

Below will be a 'blockprobability' with a number next to it, that is the probability of which it will spawn. Open the distributions folder with Notepad, Wordpad or Notepad++ and Scroll down Until you see 'undergroundChests' and 'undergroundtechChests' Or do Ctrl F on your keyboard and type in 'tech', for biome chests look for 'minibiomeChests'. Before you modify this folder it is Highly recommended to back up this folder first, Setting the spawn rates too high will crash the game.įor Biome chests, Normal chests, and Tech chests This file tell's the game the chances of a chest, special terrain type, mini boss or random encounter to spawn. Now click on the Biomes folder, you will see a file called disributions. Go to your Starbound/assets folder again. This cheat allows you to acquire rare items in the game extremely fast like tech upgrades, as well as allowing you to gain a lot of ore without having to look too hard for it. Otherwise you will not be able to smelt copper the normal way. but it is Highly reccommended to change the recipe back to the way it was after you have finished messing with it. Start up Starbound and smelt 2 copper ore in a stonefurnace, you now have you armour item! this can be repeated for every armour item. you want to replace the copperbar with the name of the armour item you got in part 1. Under 'Output' it will say 'item' : 'copperbar'. Right click on the CopperBar.RECIPE file and open that with a word proccesor as you did when you open the. this is a list of all the recipes for the stonefurnace. Go to recipes -> starter -> stonefurnace. You want to head to the recipes folder now. Now that you have the name of the item you want to exit out of the folder without saving and go back to your assets folder. You want to copy the name of the item for the next part.

At the top it will have a string called 'itemName' and the name of the item will be in quotation marks. For the helmet simply right click the file and open with Notepad, Wordpad or Notepad++. The proccess is the same to cheat in each item. Now I would like the tier 10 armour, so i go to the tier 10 folder and then look for 3 special files. This will only work for items that are not randomly generated in the game e.g guns, melee items.įirstly you want to go to items folder then into the armour folder and go into any of the race folders, for this demonstration I will be using Avian folder. 2.2 For Biome chests, Normal chests, and Tech chests.
