Writing these down so I can find them later, or so I can point people at it later.
wtf is Frackin' Universe
This heavily mods the game, changing the planet generator, your homeship, adding many quests and missions and status effects and biomes and crafting stations ... You can't use characters nor homeships from vanilla Starbound and vice-versa. It ups the challenge but has a plethora of new content.
To get started, create an entirely new character, run through the tutorial mission, and when you first speak to your shipboard AI it'll ask if you want to do normal predefined ship upgrades or do you want free-form ship construction. You'll find some 'FU' books in your ship locker, add them to your codex and read through them to get a crash course in how this game varies from vanilla. Then explore your lush starter world and you'll find a friendly neckbeard scientist who will give you your first PDA and a teleporter bookmark to a science outpost for Frackin' Universe quests. Right-click the PDA (tricorder?) to bring up the Frakin' Universe instructions quests.
Multiplayer servers
- wintermute.us.to , run by Weazzy. I think it is running Frackin' Universe. (TODO: what coords to find other people's builds?)
modding the game
Mods that add new content (craftables (weapons, clothes, furniture), biomes, pets, races) need to be installed on every player's game if you play together, else you get weirdness like the "perfectly generic objects". Mods marked "(clientside)" only affect your experience and don't need to be installed everywhere.
If you want to play with new races, you'll certainly want "Xbawks Character Extender" (clienside) or something like it so you the new races are available in the the create-a-character starting screen.
Radheron's favourite mods:

Yes, heaps of it. And Florians do it by rubbing butts together.
