So, as someone who hasn't played since the first week of beta, how much has the game changed since?

I ran a new character from naked all the way to Tier 10 armor, and I have to say that the front end experience is 99% the same now as it was during the first week of beta. There are some cool behind the scenes improvements but from a "playing the game" perspective where you're not analyzing biomes, save data, or mods, it's pretty similar in my opinion. No new bosses, progression is the same, but damage and combat values were tweaked, some quality of life improvements, and many other things I have surely forgotten.

It's a better with certain mods, such as the mod that adds more guns (IE tons of cool rocket launchers), the mech mod, and the aforementioned mod that lets you build your own space ship as big and beautiful as you want.

So this is my first game of this particular type... and how the gently caress am I supposed to deal with Meteor Storms? I know there's probably some sort of building material that is resistant to them later on, but it's kind of a bummer when a lot of my hard work is reduced to rubble because the gods have decided I must be bombarded with flaming lumps of rock. I'm half-tempted to live out the rest of my days in some subterranean hidey-hole and never seeing the light of day again.

I'd say forget building anything on that particular world. Store whatever you need to onboard your ship, make a base on a nicer world once you've got enough fuel to warp out.

At the moment - build some shields around your stuff with other blocks, build underground, or build on another planet. The upside - Meteor storms will be toned down at some point

I found a hostile Glitch castle today and mid-way through slaughtering the populous, a meteor smashed through the center of the castle. It was kind of fortuitous since it didn't touch me at all and killed a lot of their soldiers.

Make meteor storms rarer and tone them up. Way up. Massive hails of fiery spacerock annihilating kilometres of planetary surface at a time. Absolute destruction. Absolute terror. Absolute death.

I can't figure out if it would be awesome or terrible to have potentially catastrophic but incredibly rare asteroid impacts like that. Like, it'd be neat, but if you've built a home somewhere thinking it didn't have any nasty weather, and then BAM there goes everything, I might be pissed.

Maybe make it so that they only appear in advanced planets that you can only access after you can make [thing that tells you a planet's weather conditions]. So if you set up a huge intricate megafortress on the planet before checking the weather first it's your own drat fault when an asteroid the size of Russia falls from the sky and makes a Yucatan crater out of your home.

The planet starts off pretty peaceful. Trees grow, houses are built, people make a life for themselves. All of a sudden some random dickhead dressed as a pirate wearing a cowboy hat and rainbow cape beams down, and all of a sudden huge gently caress-off meteors are raining from the sky destroying everything and reducing the planet to a cratered hellhole. I wonder if they're ever going to address the mystery of why the loving meteors only show up when YOU'RE there.

Dag. Is there something similar that sort of half-rear end records stuff in the background until I tell it to have full-rear end recorded it?

And exactly where you are. If they had pre-existing craters with meteor rock scattered around on planets that have the potential to spawn them, that would be cool.

I think Anonspore's got it right. Make meteors and meteor-like events as devastating and hosed up as you want, just give us a way to know ahead of time, like on scanning the planet. Landing and making a small settlement because the meteors took their time showing up is no bueno.

To be fair, if there existed a real planet that got meteorite impacts as severe/frequent as even the minor ones in StarBound, it would probably be easily detectible from orbit. Conversely, any planet should be able to get hit by a gigantic, infrequent, random meteorite at any time. Aesthetically I agree with the subtle approach they've already got, though.

If you want to stop meteors spawning, build a lot of back walls, too. This prevents weather in general from happening (it thinks you are underground).

New update from Kyren on the future of patches for beta. http://playstarbound.com/nother-update-new-unstable-branch-on-steam/ Kyren posted:So there will be a new update coming down the pipe soon, and there’s a couple of bits here that need explaining. If you need help opting into the 'Unstable' branch, just right click on Starbound on Steam, click properties, and use the dropdown menu on the 'Betas' tab.

Build a really thick roof which extends beyond your walls in order to give them some protection, or if you want to save on blocks, make your roof a bunch of thin layers with a lot of space in between the layers. Meteors explode as soon as they hit a surface, so a 1-tile-thick roof is enough to block a single meteor, you just have to have a few more below it (far enough from the first that they won't be damaged in the explosion) to catch any meteors that fall through the hole the first one made. Or you could just pack up and move to another planet, but doing that is for quitters and wusses.

So I have not touched Starbound in months, not since Angry Koala. I changed the modinfo files for my mods to Enraged Koala but only one of them seems to be working. My custom crafting station/recipes are not showing up even with a new character. I noticed there is really nothing in the base assets folder either, just a bunch of empty folders with no objects or recipes or anything. Did something change?

How many mods would it take to create a robust enough system to have a Starbound SS13? I was just reading about the chemistry mods and really wish that there was a 2-D SS13 clone whose server didn't run like such garbage. Imagine a server hosted entirely for SS13... limited number of randomly generated planets for mining, selective weapon spawns, computers repurposed into cloning and robotics labs, medbays, monkeys, buttebot. I should just play SS13
