Collections

NOTE: Collections were removed from FU. This is a legacy page for historical purposes.


 * Why were they removed? : Starbound collection were a major source of lag (every time you picked up an item), and 99% of players didn't care about them (there were little to no complains after they were removed). Instead of having FU-related collections in FU itself, a separate mod was made that re-adds these collections: https://github.com/kukagres/FrackinCollections

Collections are a series of lists to catalog your journey across Frackin' Universe. Similar to Starbound's vanilla collections, each collection revolves around a specific item and/or topic; as you obtain items pertaining to the catalog, it will show up among the list, where you can hover over its icon to see its description. These are accessible through the Collection Tab at the top-right of your screen.
