The wooden platform on the left of the first floor (second floor if you’re American) is platform from the supports tileset. Most of the tiles I added here in the materials tileset. Just make sure you switch back into the right layer afterwards, before painting again. You can use the eyedropper trick on the foreground tiles as well if you switch to the front layer. Clicking and dragging in the map view will paint the selected tile onto the current layer. This is like the eyedropper tool in Photoshop right-clicking a tile picks it up into your brush, and afterwards you’ll be painting with that tile.

Or, a useful trick is: if the tile you want to use is already in use in the map, you can right click the tile in the map view to select it.

If the window is too cramped to see both the properties panel and the tileset panel, you can drag out one or both into a separate window. The properties panel displays the names of the tiles you select.

This is the standard boilerplate all mods have to contain to identify themselves to Starbound.These are my ideas for the game but in truth I think if they do make a Map editor, the options to change quests would possibly be added to it.Let's run through the components of this mod: So the idea behind it is.well.to make quests or to edit existing ones, pretty simple, except you are able to make the quest line longer! Or change the rewards or have people be affected by what you did etc. It keeps me rather busy for long time (Hence Skyrim, currently on my mage I have a buttload of quests I keep getting xD). The Quest editor on the other hand is what I want to see happen though, I am huge fan of quests.

This makes a great chance of also making Adventure or story maps for people to play, or just to muck around in case you get bored that fast (who would though? *shrug*).
