💭 Starbound is a really beautiful universe, extremely vast and full of things to do, collect, learn and build. However, some areas of this universe, some small details, sometimes get in the way of the experience. In addition, there are several aspects that can be polished to ensure gameplay that follows player development, which is why I thought of these changes.

Some of these changes may have already been made by other more experienced and talented modders. Still, I preferred to put my spin on these issues, thinking of both experienced and novice players. Further improvements will still be made, according to your comments, your requests, and with the idea of bringing a little more immersion, comfort, and quality of life to Starbound! 💭

💡 More realistic lighting, with the light aura removed from the player, making darkness a real problem except for the brightest Novakids.

🛡️ Removed invulnerability after taking damage, making combat surprisingly more enjoyable.

😉 Removed animation of character flickering when taking damage, I believe this animation substantially breaks the immersion in the game.

🔥 Slightly modified lava damage mechanic, following the change in invulnerability.

🌞 Gravity and duration of days and nights are now relative to the size of planets.

⛰️ Enabled background transition option in biomes.

🕯️ Torches and vehicle controllers can now be used in one hand.

🔎 Enabled zoom option from Level 1 to Level 8, doubling zoom options.

🍕 Consumption of the food bar going from maximum to zero in 30 minutes.

🍗 Maximum value of food bar increased by 30% improving the use of food attributes.

⛏️ Increased efficiency of the Energy Pickaxe, making it a viable tool compared to the Matter Manipulator.

⚙️ Hidden logic gates are now craftable, allowing basic automations in a more discreet way.

(Because of the way worlds are generated in Starbound, this change only occurs on planets created after installing the mod.)

(**This change will also only be felt by characters created after installing the mod.)
