Way to cause more NPC quests to be offered

starbound

I have built flat straight path over planet surface to allow me to solve "Bring X to Y" quests swiftly. However it seems that I picked wrong planet – the quests are starting to be quite rare. I now get max two quests for whole Glitch village located there.

Is there a way to cause them to offer more quests, or to increase population so that there's more potential quest givers?

Best Answer

The only reason I can think of as to why the villagers offer fewer quests is because more and more of them are becoming potential crew members from quest completions.

As for the other half of the last line, there are a couple ways to increase the population:

Buy some colony deeds from the frog merchant at the outpost. This is definitely the best option if you can afford it since villages already have living spaces constructed (See note 1), you can collect rent from them, they offer quests, and if they become a potential crew member you can hire them or break the deed and replace it to get a new villager.
Wait for the quests where they ask you to go find someone and bring them back. These people will then live at the village and start offering quests as well.

Note 1: Normally if you put a deed in where another deed already is it won't work but generated villagers don't have deeds and as such it doesn't matter if you have multiple people in the same house.

Way to tell if an alien is aggressive or friendly on Starbound

Unfortunately you can't tell if an alien is aggressive just by looking at them, but there is an audio cue you can use: hostile aliens will face you and roar/growl/squeak/whatever-their-sound-is before they start their attack. While passive aliens also make noises, your presence isn't the trigger and more often than not they will remain silent as you approach. If you aren't sure about an alien's disposition then cautiously move toward it and listen to its reaction.
