    Ran into this issue when setting up a new system for a cousin of mine.

    I kept getting a "Resource Exception: data/./textures/block" on a fresh install. The culprit?

    StarMade/settings.cfg:
    G_TEXTURE_PACK_RESOLUTION = 128
    G_TEXTURE_PACK = Pixel

    The Pixel pack only has 64 bit textures (and is a really crappy texture pack at that), so it should be:
    G_TEXTURE_PACK = Default

    Please have the launcher check that there aren't any issues with the settings.cfg file, such as missing textures before launching the game. That way, if a settings.cfg file is broken, it can at least make some attempt at fixing the game without sending new players searching all over the interwebs for a solution.

    It's probably better if this just didn't happen in the first place,but even though the game should just warn and revert to defaults instead of crash
