These mods are perfect. I feel like the microdungeons should have an "implode" button that reduces them to blocks because breaking them down is a nightmare but these are way easier.

Angry Diplomat posted:

I dunno, because when I'm home from work and the kid's been put to bed I like to zone out and chill around collecting and building space stuff for an hour or two? It's certainly a more laid-back experience than Terraria, where every biome has infinitely-spawning hostile monsters, your NPCs are constantly being murdered if you don't build them into a flying bomb shelter, bosses randomly spawn to attack you, and then you activate Hardmode and everything is suffering and death until you scrape together some good gear in between getting slaughtered by mechanical bosses.

Your mileage may vary, of course. I find Starbound a good low-key, "I don't feel like worrying about anything right now" game because you can stop whatever content-unlocking thing you're doing and just dick around looking for vanity items on a colourful planet full of flowers and goofy smiling aliens while relaxing music plays in the background, and if you don't like that planet, there are infinity more planets to go to. You don't starve to death anymore, monsters don't continually spawn to attack you in neutral areas like your ship or the station, if you want to spend an hour gutting and redecorating your ship then you can do that, and if you want to run around fighting poo poo in a bloodyminded attempt to build an idyllic cottage in radioactive poison death hell, you can do that too.

Different strokes

loving sucks how Terraria implemented hardmode, lovely hostile hackjob on an existing world, so I can agree with this

There's a lot of good stuff in that patch. Craftable capes, race-specific storage, alien wood for decoration. A lot of progression and interface fixes.

Alas, it is missing the "better dungeon platforming" fix.
