📋 About This Mod
The Metroid Armor Pack was featured in the Starbound Mod List (Among two great mods) by xtomass! Check it out in the videos section.
--UPDATED FOR v. Angry Koala-- (Utilizing __merge function)
This update contains all three parts of the Varia armor for both male and female characters!
Also included is the Gravity armor. This is just a recolour, think of it as thanks for putting up with the wait. Both sets are purely cosmetic, and are intended to be worn over your current tiered armor.
This release fixes the animation of the bsleeve shoulder. This should now animate as intended.
-------------------
You can craft both sets from the Anvil/Metalworking station for 10 pixels.

Does what it says on the tin.
To install, drag the full folder folder into your steam/steamapps/common/Starbound/mods directory.
!!IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED EARLIER VERSIONS!!
If you've installed an earlier version, firstly, thank you, and secondly: Please delete all Hox_ folders in your assets/items/armors/other and assets/recipes/armor/other directories, as this will cause Starbound to get stuck loading forever.

LEGAL/whatever
I don't own the Metroid series or any of the stuff in it, all I did was create crude sprites for fun. No profit is made etc. Nintendo own Metroid/Samus etc.
Ask before adding to distributed mod packs etc.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 383 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads.
- Two iconic suits in one pack—Varia and Gravity—for variety.
- Simple cosmetic addition that doesn't mess with gameplay balance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so it may have compatibility issues with newer game versions.
- Only two suits included—might feel limited if you wanted more Metroid gear.
- Potential conflicts with other armor mods that alter the same slots.
For Metroid fans who want to cosplay as Samus in their game. If you're looking for a lore-friendly or balanced armor set, this is purely cosmetic and won't change stats. Skip if you want gameplay-affecting gear or if you're on a newer version where old mods might break.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with mods from 2013—older mods may need patches.
- Use a mod manager to easily toggle this pack on/off if you run other armor mods.
- Preview the suits in-game before committing—cosmetic mods are all about looks.
