I actually read this thread not too long ago, and it used to be basically a mock thread where all the posters in here made fun of retards on the Starbound forums and 4chan and reddit for doing nothing but making GBS threads on Chucklefish and bitching about how they misappropriated early access funds etc. Now the thread is whatever "this" is, and honestly, I like it more now than I did then.

Pillbug
UNstable? :crossarms:

I figure this is just going to be putting whatever nightly version you are up to at the time up as a static update, regardless of how well it works (though admittedly what nightly was FOR). Honestly that COULD be fine...

So long as you focused development progress on the unstable instead of nightly. Because just spitting out a static update to say "There, you have an update, shut up" and going back to nightly with it's nice safe "No complaining because it's unstable" disclaimers isn't going to help the game nearly as much as working on something with any gameplay permanence players and testers can get a better handle on.

EDIT: Nightly as a concept was an okay idea. But keeping development with that as the primary focus is only going to hurt at this point. Not just because ":qq: Where is our stables", but because you can't get any drat lasting input or insight of worth in comparison, and after this long it's coming off more as a development security blanket than a development aid.

By all means, keep unstable as a thing while developing. No holds barred test mode as a comparison to stables can help. But WITHOUT a consistent, static build to compare to, it loses that value.

Why the gently caress am I even pretending trying to give helpful advice even loving matters?

the nightly build thing definitely was an interesting idea at first but it really hasn't helped people feel confident about the game in general.

What?

Its only the worst possible thread if you actually want to see Starbound get updated and actually be good. If you're here to watch Chucklefish continuously disappoint a small and angry fanbase its pretty great.

Ive come to the conclusion that most of you don't deserve the awesome that is starbound. I think most of you deserve a good starpounding for being terrible posters.

But seriously, when the update hits I know the majority of you neckbeards will be elbow deep in the new content for a month and talk about how awesome it is until your thumbs bleed. Then you will complain because mod makers aren't working fast enough and somehow this will be ChuckleFish' fault for not giving you a handy while you play because some diety forbid you play 1 handed for a while.

While I agree in general, there is a nonzero chance that your playthrough might be interrupted by the heat death of the universe at this rate.

I definitely prefer it to the current system, mostly because it seems to be balanced for faster refill, and seems kinda close to the reload system people were talking about, with some leniency.
