Are there any differences between the different races in Starbound, besides starting items and how their equipment look?

Two minor details that I know of:

  • N (Scan) descriptions are different. E.g., Floransss often relate to hunting thingsss and adding extra sss'sss.
  • All races start with "local" recipes, having to learn or find items from other races. This means that Tier'd armor made from the forge will be different per-race (but the stats are the same).

  • There's a mod one can install to add more differences. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729492334 – Michaellogg Jul 24 '16 at 14:07

    Downvoting unless you edit, because as of now on 1.0 I'm a Hyotl and my first quest was to find clues of the Floran artifact. And another improvement: foods are affected. That are some fruits that are poisonous to some races, while others can eat without any debuff. – DH. Jul 24 '16 at 16:28
