Paradoxish posted:They're using the wrong tool for the job because they think it's cool. It's like they just decided that the best way to drive out to a construction site in the middle of a jungle is in a Ferrari. Even better is that its mostly an academic toy that blows up horribly when you aren't extremely good at using it and the theory behind how it works. They pretty much just limited their recruitment pool to CS grad students if they want to get much done.

The actual progression branches are named Separator, Accelerator, and Manipulator. A quote from the devblog where they announced the branches: playstarbound.com posted:The Separator gear (crafted from Cerulium and Violium) is for melee-oriented characters. The armors in this bracket will enable them to soak up significantly more damage at the expense of energy reserves.

So what's the difference between the shootmans gear and the wizard gear? Are rogues just like halfway between a warrior and a wizard in this in terms of what gear they use? Oh yeah I forgot to mention, this is literally just selecting a class based on your equipment. Warrior, rogue and wizard.

Yeah it sounds like the shooter gear is a balanced set.

Marksman gear may boost energy recharge (sustained fire) while the magic gear boosts energy max (bigger charges). Or the marksman gear is just middle of the road.

Devour or Fire posted:Ah, just like Terraria. Ehh, not quite - Terraria's 'ranged' weapons all use some sort of ammunition, while 'magic' uses a mana bar. In this, both use a mana bar so I guess the main difference will be in how the weapons themselves handle instead of any obvious change in stats.

...So it's going to be bullets versus a recharge on your gun for lasers and whatever else counts as that?

I've been hearing on the internet that some secret goon club got busted wide open on the starbound forums, and some people are mad because this game hasn't seen any progress in about 4 months. Is this accurate y/n?

Okay, so beside the mystery secret forum thing, has the game been completed since I last played it, which was around Feb. I really don't want to update and play it if it hasn't been completed because it got boring with nothing else to really see or do.

Chucklefish has actually been slowly removing content from Starbound. At this point when you boot up the game all that appears are the words "Hello Wor".

Correction there was a secret sub forum where we got secret builds and special direct input into the games development, since the board was shut down development has slowed because without secret goon input the game will fail.

Reason posted:Correction there was a secret sub forum where we got secret builds and special direct input into the games development, since the board was shut down development has slowed because without secret goon input the game will fail. I was also allowed to pet the puppy once, since the shutdown they have told her that I went to live on a farm far away. To seriousanswer: There is a massive revamp update currently underway that shakes up a lot of progression through the game from tools and armors to missions and questing. Spoilery details can be found on their blog ( http://blog.chucklefish.org/?p=91 ) with this lovely post titled "Finishing Up Starbound 1.0" Over on their game site, which I remind you is playstarbound.com, they continue to post nightly updates of their work day progress as well as update the nightly 'more beta than beta' build to match their latest internal build of the game.
