We are dragons (mostly) who love space and cuddles.

It seems to be the norm to me that a large number of people 'including my friends' can't live without Frackin Universe.
Frackin Universe is a mod that modifies your world gen, so if you install it and play, there is no going back because your universe file is now modified form vanilla.

There is a reason to use it. Mainly, if you want to make colonies on difficult planets, Frackin Universe provides a climate regulator so you can make your colonies safe to strip down inside. It doesn't make sense for your colonists to be in casual wear when you need to have a spacesuit on!
In addition, planets are more varied, are less predictable, and generally more fun.

(TL:DR BEGINS HERE)

Here will be a list of mods you MUST have to play with me, and will probably need to play with veterans of Starbound who seem to all have tired of Starbound's predictable planet generation. (CLIENTSIDE MODS WILL NOT BE LISTED)

Frackin Races makes races unique (Including modded races!) and gives them race specific boosts

This is redundant to Frack Universe's TrueSpace, but if something were to happen and Frackin Universe's version stopped working, this would prevent corruption to your world.

For those who remember Space Ikea from way back, here's a spiritual successor!

You never know when you might screw up, and it helps with remodeling buildings and ships

You do not need to use THIS character extender. Any will work, in truth, it's clientside but it's critical if you want to play as a NON-VANILLA race.

Sometimes, you might want to lower the size of your matter manipulator. This lets you do it.

Makes mining less of a hassle, but don't get too excited, you need at least durasteel to build it, and it takes up a lot of space.

Flares literally last only 20 seconds. That's worthless. This increases them to a minute.

Food takes up ludicrous space. This changes that.

-Mods I know to be non-critical.-

Some people can't live without their hats. If you don't download this, the worst that could happen is some PGIs on your end. Maybe. Get it, it won't hurt.
