Hail Friends,

I am beginning to get back into updating this (new) mess of a Wiki for FU so let's see where this goes. 💙

If you want to know more about my updating process, see below for my typical approach, formatting, resources, past work, (etc) -

Firstly, I use the following document to store every single completed monster page text formatting: just remove the space between the : and //

https: //docs.google.com/document/d/1jYbTPQ1EktbnYQ8PBVRnIlDaoI0nMPTv_AUDbGR5qfI/edit?usp=sharing From here, you can find my previous works on the wiki and the actual source edited code / material for each monster page.


 * 1) When beginning a monster page, enter source editor through hitting the blue "EDIT" button in the top right of the page. --> click the button with three horizontal bars and an arrow pointing down --> select "Source Editor". From the source editor, you can see the formatting of the entire page. Try pasting one of my previously formatted page codes raw into this area.

a) I will now list a few helpful formatting types for the source editor - ​ will edit the categories for the creature at the bottom of the page and the specific keywords it will fall under for searching (you can delete the ones that don't fit, and add more at the end of updating the page).

b) To create a heading for the page, use the following formatting: == insert heading here == . This will allow you to make a neatly formatted section for information and allows for smooth transitions between different types of info and clean page division.

c) My current coding for monster page info boxes is as follows: YEAH UPDATE THIS WHEN STUFF GETS GOIN'


 * 1) The page progression I typically use for monster pages goes as follows:

a) Infobox - this involves perhaps making a gif for the creature if you really want to go hard on updating the pages! (This process involves downloading the spritesheet of the monster from Github, or unpaking the FU mod on your computer. Take the image of the creature, crop individual frames of the creatures animation all with the same dimensions, then upload all frames into a gif maker program [I personally use this free one online: https: //gifmaker.me/])

b) Creature lore, such as habitat, etymology, breeding tendencies, quirks, interesting background information, history, preferred prey, etc - whatever sounds cool and fitting really!

c) Attacks, impact on them from an adventurer standpoint (make it feel real: Rather than, it swipes for 27 damage - say something like "With powerful muscles built from constant hunting, this creature can tear holes in solid durasteel armor with ease" or something akin to that - have fun with it!).

d) Biomes and locations: I use the following format - ______ are found in the _______ planets and _______ biomes.​

e) == Luna's Lab Notes ==


 * Using a "~" add any interesting information about the creature here that isn't necessarily important to the creatures bio, however is information worth adding. Some examples would be: original source material of the creature (if it was stolen or is reference to something from another game or show), interesting coding, background on it's development, bugs / errors in it's actions in game or coding, etc

f) Image of the creature in a controlled environment, with your own character in the image for reference to height. (I built myself a lab for this one so I could have a consistent background for each monster I uploaded [Perhaps I'll upload my characters files here so that anyone else can use Professor Luna's lab for updating])

g) Uploading the source page for the creature as found on Github.

h) Add some final touches to the page to make it look shiny and you've got my general formatting for each creature page I upload! See more examples in the following documents: Starbound FU Wiki Creatures and Monsters Tracker: https: //docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QIfGNga-DlM_LNTJuI8wkHZIiJmq8xaIjdHvXr7OpoU/edit?usp=sharing

Current TO-DO List -

Figure out life circumstances, overcome personal challenges, etc (get my s*** together). Form a team to help in updating, and completion of the wiki Moenschterli (Current Focus - Monster research and updating) Smackatron (Current Focus - Biome formatting, updating, and completion) Davee (Current Focus - Tricorder updating and questlines) Update Poptop variant pages with their individual songs through uploading as OGG files Complete crew page - uploading all images and info needed Create a sub-page for all crew types to expand in detail about each Complete page for the "Veilendrex" Continue working down in alphabetical order of monster pages needing updated Figure out life goals and how to crush pride... Complete the page for "Burrowers" and get less freaked out by the task (So many T~T) Create a page for the "Doomwyrm" as it's a strange boss with even stranger coding Update biome pages with new formatting and information once formatting is updated Update fish pages (love the little fishies) Update armor page with all recent, and relevant information / types Other tasks as needed / interest Best of luck with the continuing growth of the wiki everyone! Starbound is still my favorite game, and FU an incredible mod -
