I love how the posters here are so relaxed and actually talk about things, even stuff they dislike, in such an awesome way.
I hate myself for having stuck to the Steam forum for so long.. The people there are awful to say the least.

Anyway, anyone know a really good mod pack that I could use to keep myself entertained while we wait for the official stable update? And whats with this "secret SA goon sub forum" people keep mentioning over on Steam?

Any decent goon-made or goon-endorsed mod packs out for Starbound?

Starbound is an amazing game. Far better than the 90% of the games on steam. Hell, it's still on the top 100 most played list. I'm gonna go starbate again.

I'm really excited for the upcoming patch. Mostly because it will shut parts of the community up who turn the steam forums into poo poo for atleast a few days. But there's a couple hate crusaders on there that will bitch about anything.

I think they should add some forum-themed biome with mobs appropriate to each. The SA biome should even get the secret forum sub biome just to piss people off.

Ive come to the conclusion that most of you don't deserve the awesome that is starbound. I think most of you deserve a good starpounding for being terrible posters.

But seriously, when the update hits I know the majority of you neckbeards will be elbow deep in the new content for a month and talk about how awesome it is until your thumbs bleed. Then you will complain because mod makers aren't working fast enough and somehow this will be ChuckleFish' fault for not giving you a handy while you play because some diety forbid you play 1 handed for a while.

greetings. combat in dark souls is very deep and every single encounter, every single enemy in the first 4/5ths of that game is very carefully balanced around expected usage of the stamina meter. starbound is a lovely 2d fart around game where enemies damage you by bumping into you, and nothing is balanced around anything because everything is randomly generated. this is probably the shittiest devils advocate argument you could have made and it makes you sound like you have no idea what the gently caress you're talking about (you probably dont). farewell.

Or perhaps hes a genius and you fail to understand the true meaning of his point. Your position requires one to reach Neckbeard Rank 2 status to understand and few, even here on SA, have achieved that.

Iirc because it was opposed to their cool plan of making ores being gated behind better picks/manipulator upgrades or something. We can let little johnny get this rock of fartmetallium from sand surfing! He hasn't even made the pissaluminum upgrade yet!

I'm sad that it's gone and will be cross with chucklefish until this assault on fun has been redeemed

probably never

give it like 3 days after the stable update and modders will have sand mining back in again.

I'm really liking what's going on with development so far. The idea of dynamic had elements and menu screens is a huge leap above other games as most have static poo poo.

I bet the unstable build hits the 20th and then the stable build on the 25th as an awesome Christmas present.

But, even if that happens the same shitposters will cause a storm of poo poo puffs because the world wasn't handed to them on a 2gig flash drive or something

I completely forgot about the gay elf. But then again I used anders, the varric, and shayle for companions and never switched em.

If only starbound had an awesome varric character. We could have... Stardwarves. And stargays. I mean star elves. Man I should get into game development. I'd be star rich.

Chucklefish cant dig its way out of PR Nightmares

There was no pr nightmare. Just a bunch of mouth breathers who don't know what early access actually means.

To top it off the ones who pre-ordered before steam early access were given 2 months to back out but were to busy huffing farts to be bothered and then double-frothed when they couldn't get one anymore.

Basicly Chucklefish did no wrong. People are bad and if you notice the vocal minority amounts to about 10 people per forum base who trash starbound.

No, but try reading the post.
I expect games to break throughout the development process, I expect them to be loving working when a "stable" patch comes out and if enemies are not fixed and the general public has to suffer through this unkillable first boss do you really think that's gonna bode well for anyone?

Not anymore after this it's gonna be thick and fast you'll see

Unkillable first boss? Do you seriously suck at this game or something? I havnt had a single problematic area up until this floren prison dungeon on a frozen world. I'm at the aegisalt/violium/something else tier. I've killed quite a few bosses with no problems. Havnt even touched a gun. Melted them all with melee.

Get better at the game before you complain about it.

Why would you laugh? The guns are awful. I have yet to find one thats decent. Keep finding lovely ones with super high fire rates which means they will do poo poo damage becuase of how npc armor works.

Maybe you shouldn't talk poo poo when you literally don't even know what you're talking about?

The first boss in stable does not exist in the nightlies, he's talking about this


Im playing the current Unstable. I started last night when i got home from work, those zombies are really easy to kill with melee. Those first ones i destroyed with a 2 hander. After you get hit twice, you run around while using BANDAGES to heal. Simple strat. If you fail at that place then you suck.

I died once in there becuase i pulled a stupid and jumped off a high ledge with super low health while dodging one. Went back in and killed everything. Simple.

Edit: For Victrix: Ook, bad choice of wordage for me. What i should have said was "I havnt used a gun past the first one i got, then read what Tiy said about them and what everyone else said, realized how lovely they were unless you get a REALLY high damage slow shooting one, and have yet to find one."

I asked a question about combat on the ama and got a response about that boss...



How was it, in this regard? Were its attacks more predictable than those of regular enemies? (in a good way)

Yeah definitely. The fight was relatively easy because of it unless you make stupid mistakes. I can live with that. Almost died with the boss at 0 bars of health because i said "gently caress it" and kept attacking when i should have been healing.

The only boss ive been annoyed with though has been the Penguin Pirate ship. It hits really hard and takes so little damage. Half its attacks dont have wind ups of any kind and its just a nuisance. If i had a good gun it probably would have been easier. But shields are the key. I suck at getting the parry, but the shield saved my rear end.

edit: The Mech fight was one of the most enjoyable because it allowed you to actually defend yourself effectively, making it a risk/reward kinda fight it you wanted to kill it fast.

2nd edit: So.. i just hit full Impervium gear. Still havnt found anything relating to ship upgrades. Also just maxed out my Matter Manipulator. ... I want my ship upgrades got damnit.

Unless they hosed something up in the last week, finish your outpost quests. More unlock after you've completed the last, along with a ship upgrade, and you should have them before impervium.

Then im pretty sure either my character got hosed up somehow or they botched something becuase i did every outpost quest.


Fak edit: Just checked my quest log. appearently i forgot to make a floran a jacket. ill check that one out and see if it leads somewhere.
