harpies with machine gun feathers. I usally build an IJA type tunnel system in the island itself to avoid getting cut down.

I never understood why people saw harpies as an issue. The only dangerous enemies in Terraria are ones who go through the ground or shoot through it. Sky Islands are just free loot with no risk if you put even a little effort in to it. Plus all that extra gold and silver is handy.

And when we leave, we need to put things back the way we found them. We're not slobs.
I am very impressed that hit game Starbound can reach the depth of combat mechanics Dark Souls sets the bar for. Good work, Chucklefish!

Due to all the shitposting, I decided to fire up the nightly and see where things are. Haven't touched this for a few months.

Playing through to the second tier ship was pretty enjoyable.

This thread's really loving annoying though, with the ironic shitposters and the true shitposters. It'd be nice to actually discuss the nightly updates beyond the "lookit this poo poo, they done posted on their blog, hur hur.(:v:)"

/\ thanks for the "ironic" shitpost example.


Regarding the energy changes, it honestly hasn't affected gameplay all that drastically. I've found myself utilizing multiple weapons due to the change, but it hasn't been a painful transition.

discussing nightlys might be actually worth doing if it weren't for the fact that it changes nightly.

I saw that back in September Tiy said something about wanting Starbound to be open source. This is gonna be another Spacebase DF-9 isn't it? The next update is gonna be 1.0 so they can call it quits and go work on their dumb pirate garbage.

For what it's worth, I totally agree with you. But the more vocally you're annoyed by people, the more they shitpost, as very well demonstrated by the dozen people who thought it would be funny to make the exact same joke by responding to you by artlessly making GBS threads as hard as they could.

Though I guess they seem to get along perfectly well without any fuel. They've been just circle-jerk threadshitting for months all by themselves without anyone serious to actually troll. You'd think this poo poo-inferno would burn itself out eventually, but it seems self sustaining.

Honestly, the only real hope for this thread would be to close it until a stable update comes out.

Eh, Hakuna-mutata :v:

Onto actually not shitposting...have they entirely removed the boss fights? It seems like there's no way to summon the UFO anymore, however the bot maker table is still in. So I'm going to guess they just moved it to a later tier?

Isn't the Pirate game another early-1.0-abortion à la DF-9 that's already "done" (and not very good apparently?).

See, this is why I never play games. By only buying games, and then letting them sit in my Steam library, pristine & uninstalled, I can preserve a magical, hype-fueled, hope-filled dream-game that is more perfect than any real game could ever be. To play them would utterly ruin the experience.

well it also deletes your saves nightly which is my point, so if you want to play caveman tier over and over again with little changes here and there, you are free to do so.

Well this model they have adopted is bad and they won't even hear constructive criticisms on it.

When the game first came out Tiy said he wanted the game to be almost a platform and modders to run wild.

But nobody will make mods currently as there is fear that their work will break with new nightly builds, and things have changed so drastically there is no use making stuff for the stable build.
