🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

Genuinely pumped for this, having not played Starbound (and none of the nightlies) since around March or April.

I mean, I'm so pumped, I've resubscribed to this thread. Does everyone still actually hate the game, or is it ironic? It's hard to tell.

Sarcastic and non-sarcastic replies are welcome, tia.

Wait do you actually start with those techs? I didn't even notice, that would help allay some of my concerns about the very start of the game being too slow.

You have to get to the outpost, but that happens in the first 30 minutes, so yeah.

People who have played it are enjoying it, people who haven't are suspicious as gently caress. Because one of the cool things to do in this thread was lie about features.

Oh cool, the update is actually later today? I haven't played since the very first wipe so I could wait for the 1.0 update.

This is the 1.0, right? Or is it just stable?

poo poo, that's close enough. Gonna give this another go later.

There aren't any more wipes are there? A friend of mine kept playing for a little while after what was supposedly the last wipe and ended up getting hit by one anyway. :ohdear:

Yeah you find tech chips out in the wild or as mission rewards and use them to unlock your tech with the AI. The bounce bubble is pretty cool.

There's also suit upgrades that let you survive in more extreme environments like underwater, hot or cold planets and stuff like that which seems to be the new way better ore is gated.

After the unstable patch yesterday I rolled a new character and my starting planet had an Apex lab with 3 tech cards in it. :smug:

Apparently if you move unstable saves over they'll work. Unstable has its own separate folder.

This is like third hand info though so idk

They only just updated the unstable with this stuff, unless you mean the nightlies, I never played those because they were just too raw for me.

I'm going to spend 10bux I probably shouldn't spend on this game tonight, I swear. :negative:

I was staunchly not giving a poo poo but then I saw that wiring screenshot and was reminded of Gunpoint. Also a lot of those new systems/revamps look real neat.

It would be cool if this game were finally good. My kids have played Terraria constantly for years but got bored with this game after only a few hours. I did too. I was really trying to find where the fun was after dropping a bunch of money on many copies of the game.

There are already mod packs, I think you and your kids should re-try it. Make sure you add the illuminated ore mod, since I feel like that helps a lot with the early game grind.

Please don't drop money until the stable's been out for a while and you have more feedback on its actual quality.

Slime posted:

I'm torn. Part of me wants Starbound to become good to justify the money I spent. Another part of me wants it to suck because it'd be funny.

I want the game to be good, the only reason I stuck around is because of the potential and I'll gladly give up the endless mockery for a game that's actually fun but I definitely can't say with confidence that's even close to happening yet. Wait for the patch and see what happens.

Incidentally there was talk some pages back of giving the MM the ability to locate ore unmodded at some point. I wasn't paying a lot of attention at the time, was that a real thing or just more bullshit "haha tricked you into thinking something fun would be in the game"?

Is there a list of all the MM upgrades yet? I did not get too far through them and am waiting for the stable to play more. I noticed the fluids stuff made it in, wasn't that a mod originally?

there's 4 power upgrades, 2 size upgrades, and a liquid upgrade, that's how far I got with admin commands, before I stopped.
