The best part of Starbound will always be the chucklefish employee quitting this thread to talk about how we're all so mean in the stardew thread.

Anyone playing this with the Steam controller? How is it (relative to how the game is, in general, of course)? If I'm going to get back into this, you can be drat sure it'd be from the couch, once in a while (unless.... it's good?)

Moryrie posted:Oh, I did actually have a question. Is this actually more tedious than Sunless Sea? .. at least Sunless Sea in like mid 2014 when I last gave it a chance and it was tedious and slow, and they seemed to keep balancing it to be even more so? Because that's one comparison I never saw brought up somehow. Sunless Sea is basically an interactive novel and I totally get why people find it tedious or unfun. For all its slow pace and obfuscation the player at least gets paid with cool text to read. But that game is trying to do something specific and I'd say it more or less hits its mark. Starbound, even in its current inoffensive state, really doesn't have any idea what it wants to be beyond 'everything'. If I were to compare their tedium, I'd say Starbound is the more tedious because it has about 1/10 the payoff that Sunless Sea does.

Rinse/repeat as milestones are "met". edit: similarly we used to see both Tiy and Mollygos on Synirc fairly often but within about 2/3 months after release both vanished never to be seen again. Tiy probably left because he wasn't being fellated by the #steamgoons irc. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Jul 12, 2016 |

The worst thing about Starbound is that it apparently killed development of a (assumedly) not totally janky SS13. A bunch of my friends and I were looking forward to that.

Zereth posted:Wait matter manipulator upgrades are random drops now? Rather than just getting some specific metals? I think you can do quests for them and such but yeah you find parts in tech chests and such also. As well, upgrading the matter manipulator is more complex than it used to be, there's a few different paths you decide to put points into like mining speed, range, etc.

Yeah I imagine it's very liberating not being in the industry you had a bad experience in. I was introduced to a new person at my job who said he heard of me from a place we both used to work at. I just had to grit my teeth and say "oh wow that's cool" and control myself from flying into a rant about how much of a scummy slave-labor grindhouse that other place was for the sake of professionalism.

Yeah you need a couple hundred of them to fully upgrade the MM but you were gonna open every chest anyway right? If you think it's dumb or want to skip it just spawn some modules with the console.

I have many complaints about the game, but upgrading the MM is actually pretty dang satisfying EDIT: VVVVVVVVVV nerdz posted:Talking about your former workplace is unprofessional if it was a normal job and not this clown circus. There's a lot of former jobs I won't comment or comment positively, but I make sure to tell everyone about the dude who bought a benz when our payment was 2 months late.

Crimson Harvest posted:I found like 20 on the first planet. They're literally in every other container. Yeah you need a couple hundred of them to fully upgrade the MM but you were gonna open every chest anyway right? Apparently we've been pretty unlucky then as it took about 10 hours before we had 20 between us. We've also played over 10 hours and I just finally got my first piece of tier 2 armor. For some hosed up reason you need wool cloth to build tungsten armor now and we've only found a couple of cotton seeds and each piece of wool cloth takes 3 cotton. Random quests you get in villages are also limited to a single player. Whoever accepts it first gets the quest and gently caress your friends, they're too slow. At this point we still have yet to unlock tech upgrades. I'm guessing it's gated in the main quest line. The second quest after the mining dungeon is one where you have to go scan items from Florans to learn more about them and each thing you scan has to be a specific type of item and gives you a small percentage of progress. That quest took us 3 planets and 2 Floran cities to complete.

During the stream they did for 1.0, they said that progression doesn't require doing the story, so you can play it as a pure sandbox. So they said, anyway, I don't know the details myself.

I've completed the plot. Ship upgrades are handled by paying pixels for the ship license and then handing the right number of upgrade modules to the shipwright.

I was thinking back on when starbound first hit EA. I managed to have fun with the sandbox. And then it just slowly spiraled into a garbage pile. Why does tiy hate fun? Why does he hate the idea of making a good game?
