Congrats on almost pushing out a big, padded list of mostly superfluous changes, I guess the whiny ingrates that make up a majority of the people still following the game can't complain about how you haven't done anything for 8 months, soon :^)

Yeah actually it's fairly frustrating to have people on my ignore list still be able to talk to me because they're being quoted. Clearly the solution is everyone should share my ignore list.

I wonder what that even means, given the changes they made to the warmth system. I love that changelog, and how you'll see like three or four entries in a row that are just "Added one specific new hammer" or whatever, and other single entries are just "Reworked this entire important gameplay system" with no more detail than that.

Still nothing about adding an option to bookmark planets that i could see, which is a shame.

This is also my favourite thing.

The team is currently in 'crunch' as they make a final push to get this massive update out onto the stable branch. It's probably not going to happen imminently, and there'll be a significantly larger changelog when that happens.

I expect it'll be organised into specific sections, like 'gameplay', 'performance' 'fixes' etc.

You will now be required to have a mic and must make pickax sounds repeatedly to do any mining whatsoever.

End game glass producing now involves nuking an entire planet from orbit then beaming down and chipping off as much as you need. You get prettier colors the closer you get to (formerly) populated areas!

You know that rad poster with the dinosaurs decked out in battle gear and shooting lasers and poo poo? That's a biome now.

Also there's a new Neutral biome but I don't feel particularly strong about it.

I wouldn't mind this pick-tiers idea if things like sand-mining still existed, and if more tools were added to let you get higher tier ore without the right pick. Blasting charges, come the gently caress on don't deny us the coolest way to mine.

It's high priority and they're "cleaning up the code" for it right now. Basically they don't like where their economic interests are going so they trying to cash out by hoping somebody with more output in their free time than their team has in the office they all moved to in London makes a total conversion mod that sells the game for them without having to lift a finger.

Adding to this, will this break any saves? I'm about to start a Starbound binge this week but I'd rather hold off if something is coming around the corner.

Beyond the fact that it's not the complete notes, technically, they're the update to the existing stable branch, in which the ore thing isn't currently present. Not much point in having a note that says "We were going to make this change, but decided not to".

(Not that we have any indication at the moment of them deciding to revert the change, of course.)

Wasn't this basically what mojang did? Suddenly said "this is 1.0", let anything even remotely interesting be done via mods and had completely different companies do their ports?
