I kind of wish they'd just do one more universe wipe and make each platform have the same co-ordinates.

The entire lovely forum community shat a brick when there was a wipe not too long after launch, as much as we need it, we won't get another wipe.

I don't want expecations to get too high, but let's just say I'm bound to star in this game. Keep an eye out

This is you tacitly admitting that you were one of the people who paid $200 dollars on kickstarter to have an NPC named after you, right? :v:

30 people paid $500 to make a hat for the game. 12 people paid $2000 to get a statue in game

Didn't they silently wipe everyone with the winter update?

I built a house!

I also doodled some friend's characters! (timged for lovely)

So, yeah, I haven't played this game in a longass time, but the winter update has been really fun so far. I just hope this means updates will be more frequent in the future, too.

Hey, just wondering, are there any mods to get rid of ambient sounds? When I play with the music off, I really don't want to hear a bunch of wind or bugs, I'm trying to listen to podcasts.

Can't you just use the Windows volume mixer?

I mean, I still want to hear things like my friends jamming on their lovely midi instruments, just not stupid ambient noises.

Hey, thanks! Also, yeah, sincerity

I realize at this point that starbound has been/is bad but I hate terraria's art so I want it to succeed

I also like the random generation, different species, and modding potential

That looks nice. I was kinda looking forward to building a giant room full of teleporters to my various planets. This will do too I guess.

Raw_Beef: Jul 2, 2004; We know what you been up to and my advice on that little venture is to pack it in. It won't work. It will all end in tears.

I bought this game on a whim over a year ago. Had a few hours of fun digging for ores, then promptly forgot about it for a year.

With the new update, i played it again. Spent a few hours digging for ores and beating all the bosses, thinking "yes finally i have gotten somewhere and this game will start having a reason to keep playing!"

That didnt happen. There is no reason to "play" this "game".

Oh well maybe in 2016.
