Incompatible

Please note that while this list is frequently updated, it is by no means a be all to end all of incompatible mods. There could be some we have missed.

FU Translation Mods / Language Translation Mods
Don't use them. None can keep up with us, and almost all are completely outdated or incompatible due to script related issues. They are not recommended and we will not help you debug them.

Frackin' Races
You don't need this if you're using FU. It's now included, and your game won't function if you have both installed.

zTarbound
This mod started in FU and has always been included with it. The zTarbound standalone page directly states that it cannot be used with FU individually as a result! Why didn't you read the mods page?

Usable With A Patch
These mods can be used so long as their external compatibility patch is installed as well.
 * Avali Triage (needs this patch)
 * Extended GUI (needs this patch)
 * Many Tabs (needs this patch)

Potential Issues

 * Any race extender - FU contains one already, you don't need an external extender.
 * Aimable Shields - All shields in FU are already aimable

Risky, avoid

 * BYOS (BuildYourOwnShip) - FU already contains a BYOS system
 * Draconis FU Addon - Outdated. Breaks things.
 * Faster Start - Frackin' BYOS requires tungsten in your starting system to repair your FTL drive. Using the mod may result in no Moons, Forests, or Deserts spawning, leading to a lack of vital resources.
 * FrackinUniverse Ground Seeders - Outdated, and FU already contains a more powerful tool to perform the same function.
 * Improved Containers - Outdated mod. Use Enhanced Storage instead.
 * Legacy Fuels - Duplicate plutonium issue
 * Madtulips Mod - FU already contains a BYOS system
 * Melee Aiming - Interacts poorly with FU balance
 * Named Saplings - FU makes similar changes, and NS can't handle saplings crafted in the greenhouse.
 * Tier 9/Tier 10 ships - Breaks BYOS
 * TrueSpace - Breaks starting system generation (Moons, Deserts, and Forests are not guaranteed), which may result in an inability to obtain necessary materials.
 * Very Varied Vehicles - Outdated, breaks vehicles.

 * FFS Avali Weapons - Same issue as FFS Extended.
 * FFS Extended: Contains unnecessary redundant files that cause crash problems with Gosmets and other creatures. Use Rylasasin's version instead.
