The game is available on PC, Mac, Linux, and Xbox One/Series consoles. Gameplay and features Exploration: Travel to a vast, procedurally generated universe with unique planets, creatures, and dungeons. Customization: Create a character from one of seven races and customize your spaceship, home, and gear. Crafting: Use hundreds of materials to craft thousands of objects, from weapons and armor to furniture and building blocks. Story and quests: Follow a story campaign with unique characters and quests, or play in a more open-ended sandbox mode. Game modes: Choose from Casual (no need to eat), Survival (eat to survive and drop items on death), or Hardcore (permadeath).

The Hylotl have an ugly history with the Floran. Though the "why" and "how" has been lost to history, as a massive Floran invasion of their homeworld forced the Hylotl to settle under the oceans. Though open hostilities have been over for a long time, there is still some animosity between the two races (largely from the Hylotl), though the average Hylotl will claim there isn't any anymore and they've "totally forgiven the Floran for being a bunch of bloodthirsty murderous brain-dead savages." The Hylotl Ship is sleek as an ocean fish, with "dorsal" fins and smooth curves. Once upgraded to the Condor Class (the largest Ship class), the Hylotl ship takes on a more whale-like appearance, albeit a whale with a lot of back-fins.

Hylotl ship pets are three-eyed Crabs, coming in one of ten different colors/patterns chosen at random. Hylotl surface villages and dungeons can be found on all planet types that can have surface-level full-sized dungeons except for Lush (aka "starter") planets. These structures do not have a "favored" planet type.

The Hylotl are the only race to have full-sized villages and dungeons on Ocean planets, at the ocean floor. The underwater cities are currently the only planetary structures to be protected by a Shield Generator to prevent the player from removing items and blocks, though the Generator can be switched off once found. Some small houses and farms with reefpods and coral creepers can also be found on islands in oceans.

The Hylotl are one of the seven playable races in Starbound, and one of the six races entrusted with an Ancient artifact.

The Hylotl are a semi-aquatic race with trinocular vision, highly-adaptable genetics and a relatively short lifespan, which over the generations has led them from being a strictly land-based species to one that can live comfortably in aquatic environments, though they still lack the ability to breathe underwater.

They have a long and rich history of art, science, and philosophy, with reverence for tradition and meditation. Despite their highly-advanced technological level, most of their structures are still made of wood bedecked with ornate carvings. This leads to an interesting clash of Hylotl cultures in their massive underwater cities, with hand-painted calligraphy next to bright neon signs advertising the latest fashions, and quiet paper-walled garden rooms not far from the heavy bass thumping of a "bubbstep" dance club. The Hylotl-owned Letheia Corporation is one of the largest companies in the galaxy, providing everything from entertainment to space stations and starship fuel to people across the stars.

Hylotl pride themselves on seeking peaceful solutions to problems, though they recognize that sometimes their side of a philosophical debate on the merits of not dying carries a little more weight when backed up with a sharp enough blade. Thus, the ability to use weapons with skill and proficiency is similarly a fine-honed art passed down through the generations.

Some find the Hylotl to be stuffy, arrogant, and passive-aggressive, which the Hylotl deny and figure you'll see the error of your ways once you've become a bit more enlightened like they have.

Terrene Protectorate official documentation. The Terrene Protectorate has stood proudly for over 500 years, striving for peace, and for unity amongst the many peoples of the universe. We exist to offer aid to the vulnerable and sanctuary to those living in fear. We endeavour to educate, protect and support all those seek our help.

We are the Terrene Protectorate, long may we stand.

This book has been provided to offer some useful advice for newly graduated Protectors. Welcome, new Protector!

The first thing we would like to say is 'do not panic' - you have trained for this position for years, and you would not have graduated if you did not earn the distinction of doing so.

Handy hints to help you keep your head:

• Your comanding officer is not just there to issue orders, but also to guide and support you. Utilise this support and you will quickly find your feet.

• Do not worry about being left on your ship alone, this will not happen at any time. There will always be at least three crew members aboard so that you can aid and assist one another.

• Every ship is equipped with a SAIL. As you will be aware, the AI is a useful source of information, especially when tempered by the reassurance of your crew mates.

• NEVER BEAM DOWN TO A PLANET YOU DO NOT RECOGNISE.

• Always equip yourself for the climate and threat level of the planet you will be visiting. You will be briefed by your captain before you leave the ship and will be able to discuss concerns, should you have any, about the new environment. Though you will be issued with all the necessary equipment remember: there are always untold dangers.

• Always wear your Terrene Protectorate issued uniform, this will allow anyone you meet to identify you as a member of the Protectorate.

• Help others in need. Try your best to defend the innocent where possible, but do not engage in combat above your level. Call for back-up when you need it.

And remember, graduate - wherever you may go, you will always have Earth to come home to.

S.A.I.L., short for Ship-based Artificial Intelligence Lattice, is the sentient A.I. that controls the Player's ship's computer. S.A.I.L. It is presented in a humanoid form with no fine details. The console it is located on also allows the player to choose missions they have unlocked as well as tracking all of the crew members employed on the ship. For more information on the console, see the Ship Station article.

Occasionally, S.A.I.L. will comment on your progress throughout the game. This is usually during main story missions along with Esther. S.A.I.L's commentary is typically delivered as generally useful information, followed by a deadpan compliment, such as "This planet is home to many hostile organisms. I applaud your bravery for showing interest in this world".

When the player visits a dangerous planet without proper protective equipment, S.A.I.L will hastily recite a pre-written warning urging them not to proceed.

The color of S.A.I.L. and the design of the ship computer depends on the characters race.
