I think maybe you can make it bigger but you're not allowed and will not be allowed to actually make a custom one in the base game because Tiy thinks that many player's ships would look bad

Not that I think a poster in this thread would ever make poo poo up, but where did Tiy say this? Also how is a game that's going to be easily moddable prevent people from continuing to mod in their own ships?

He is obviously speaking within the context of the game itself. The dragon dildoes mod does not mean the game has dragon dildoes. The custom-placed block ship mod does not mean that the game has custom-placed block ships.

I'm actually a highly balanced and mentally well person so I care so little about Starbound that my conscious mind literally doesn't even know about it at all, I only post in this thread in dream fugue states and have no memory of this thread or the game when I make my return from the spiritual world. Everyone else posting in this thread, however, heavily cares and is also insanely mad all the time about this game and this thread, which I do not care about.

You win the award for :effort: shitpost. Congrats :toot:

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?

I actually really like this game, at least conceptually, and I hope for it to do well and become a robust platform for modders to dink around with.
But 8 months between updates can make a person sick of anything, and it's fun to post angry things on the internet.
Norn, if you're still reading this dead gay thread, tell your windowlicker boss to get it the gently caress in gear.

This is how I feel about it really.
I just want another stable update so me and my friends can play this again.

Some people complain about the Nightlies being too buggy and deleting your save all the time, but I feel like that's balanced out by the fact that the nightly no longer launches at all anyway.

typed playestarbound.com into my web browser posted:

"but now it’s screwing up because Steam wants it to be in the same location as the current stable."
...
We’re sending in a support request to Valve on the matter. It might be as simple as “just add another launch option that’s valid on the other builds, but invalid on the stable, and it will try them all.
So, if this is true, then it's all Valve's fault for wanting them to put out functioning stable builds obviously :downs:

See the thing you linked there? Let's read it. Let's scroll down to the bottom of it.

quote:

So what does this mean to you?

The nightly on Windows and OSX (OSX was broken as well by the same change, even though it doesn’t use the launcher), you will need to launch the executable directly, rather than through Steam, until further notice.

It is bad and inconvenient that the launcher doesn't work. I'm not going to disagree on that. However, it's disingenuous to say that it doesn't launch, to imply that it is unlaunchable, when it is not and the very devpost that made most people aware of said issue informed anyone who might be affected by it to make it a non-issue.

This is not a new issue. That post was posted today. I tried to install the Starbound nightly two weeks ago and it crashed on launch. They are just figuring it out now.

Nah, it worked recently, I've used it and others have posted about it as well. You probably had old save files, you need to delete (or move) old saves or the nightly will often crash because of incompatibilities, extremely common issue.


Just joking around man, settle down. Yes the game still works fine if you know to not use the launcher, but for an average person who just tries to opt-in to the nightly and play it, it'll just crash for seemingly no reason. There's a solution, yes, but is a pretty seriously problem that's worth making fun of.

Which means you can tell people combat is bad and have them whiteknight the game for 5 minutes.

edit:
dev response on energy being used for movement and ammo:
"i think that movement and combat sharing an energy pool is positive because it creates a tradeoff between multiple things that are important in combat"

The word "balance" is not a legitimate answer to any question! Why is this notion something that is accepted? Why is it a crime to want measured, civil discourse?
Why would you even open an AMA if you weren't planning to give anything but the most trite and evasive responses possible?
I'm actually mad right now! :argh:
