Of course it's from the Nexus; I don't think I have the right to complain about this since I'm waiting for Roflex' mod so that I can write profanities on all my walls.

Wouldn't a lot of this die down if they just released (even a small) new stable update on steam or whatever?

Holy poo poo I made a huge mistake reading this thread.

Anyway, how do I access these nightly updates, just opt-in on betas in steam or whatever?

Yep that's exactly how, though you should backup your characters and universe folders and delete them along with Starbound.config.

So why do you drop ores/bars on death?
Because it isn't annoying enough that you have to set up a bunch of poo poo before you can even go out to explore in the first place, or what?

No, you're right, a lot of people payed for this product that they're not getting but it was only $20 so it was just a donation really.

A lot of people paid for a product in advance, and so long as that product is eventually delivered, the deal was held to.

I really could not give a poo poo if the game is never released, it's just dumb to see people saying no-one is allowed to complain because it was only $20.

Most of the time when I see the fifteenbux arguement brought out, it's less "It was cheap so you're not allowed to complain" but more "It was cheap so loving christ get a grip dude"

Yeah and I'm saying that maybe it's not about the money one person spent.

This one of them ad hominem things I read about. Please stop attacking someone for stating a fact.

Game isn't finished yet. Everything is subject to change. This is really simple, basic poo poo here. I know you all know better than this.

I really wish you'd leave it at that and not prove me wrong, but I get the feeling you won't, and continue to be unhappy with a game that's just not done yet. :smith:

No, you're right, let's not state our worries and opinions in a thread the devs read because the game is not finished, if we just patiently wait they will read our minds and create the game we want because they can not do anything wrong like other human beings. :doh:

I don't think people are angry, more like disappointed or worried for the future.

Again, no one wants the game to be bad or they wouldn't have paid for it in the first place.

So, I tried a bit of the nightly release and it seems they're taking it in the right direction.

Don't know if it was intended or not but the hunger mechanic was missing which actually made the game way more enjoyable. Strapping on a hunger mechanic is always way more attractive in theory than it is in practice and the only game that has this without being annoying to me is 'Don't starve'. And that's because it's a central theme rather than just some extra busywork.

Now I could just start loving around on the planet instead of having to establish a farm and starve to death a couple of times trying to get meat while the plants slowly grew.

I also enjoyed the matter manipulator changes.

Because I want to play the game (shocking, I know) but stable isn't cutting it for me and nightly builds reset every night.

Do I, at some point, get a robot that can dig holes straight down for me in this game.

Because I just realized that one thing I hate in games like this (Terraria, Minecraft etc.) is holding down the mouse button while I slowly make a hole downwards to where all the good stuff is (Diamonds, core fragments, hellforges, whatever)

Nightly releases is a good way to test things, but a poor way to play the game since it wipes your save daily.

Imagine the game is a car that you bought but when it was delivered to you it had no wheels and all kinds of poo poo was odd with it, so you drive it back somehow and tell them to fix it.

When you come back a year later the car still has no wheels but the mechanic tells you not to worry because they've been working on the engine.

So you pop the hood and beach balls and paper airplanes come flying out.

They added a casual difficulty that only makes you drop your coins on death by the way.

All in all I think the game is moving in the right direction.

You should take some ideas from Tropico, like adding craftable rum breweries with slave labour from the planet you are on. Also instead of side scrolling make the game isometric.

Obviously you want to keep some elements of the currenct version so you could have, like, beach balls and paper planes that you buy to make your people happy.

Hello supernorn in like one nightly release there were playable penguins or maybe that was just some leftover idiot mod that was laying around in my folder, either way will they make a return?
