In this thread: Wow, the creators of this game look like nerds! LETS GET EM!

All rough play aside, I like the game, and I'll definitely play it more once it's done.

in vaguely related news, star citizen is a flaming wreck

what else was it going to be?

it's a game where you buy imaginary spaceships with real money, for no reason other than to be the best at imaginary spaceships. It was doomed to fail when the kickstarter first went up.

A lot of whiners really. It is a $15 early access game and everyone treats it like a finished AAA. $15 for 80+ hours. And it keeps getting better as time goes on. If you like Terraria, Starbound is worth it.

I'm just gonna bask in this post for a moment before the rest of the thread cannibalizes it

I played it with a friend but couldn't get into it at all. The UI and graphics are really off-putting but the gameplay just felt too clunky to look past.

So it's QWOPbound. maybe I won't try it out.

I'd have less complaints about "blow yourself up in one shot" if one that strong also didn't take about 3 to blow up the average enemy.

EDIT: "RISK VS REWARD " mindsets frequently hate the second part coming anywhere close to the first part. See also, the official Elite Dangerous forums.

Maybe there should be Novakid villages, except the ones that aren't wild west villages would be caveman settlements of violent novakids

I mean, neither will happen, but it's a good idea, eh?

So, update on the forums:

Whoever got into one of the admin accounts loving owned the poo poo out of these guys, holy hell. Deleted the entire Social (the most active) and Admin sections of the forums, and though the crew managed to shut everything down before the cybercrimer could do anymore damage, when they rolled back the servers they noticed that their last backup was in March.

i'd say that it'd be easier to just re-make starbound from the ground up, but if chucklefish did that they'd have to remember all the bad things to code in, and we'd be stuck for another three years waiting for absolutely nothing.

i bet one guy could make a starbound clone and make it good.

also, incoming funny joke i know it

So, what exactly do fossils do..?

from the Starbounder page posted:

Fossils are the remains of long dead creatures scattered throughout Starbounds universe. They�re extremely valuable, very rare and very difficult to dig up. You�ll need special tools to clear the dirt and unearth a fossil. Removing the wrong piece of dirt could cause the fossil to crumble into dust. Successfully removed fossils can be placed as trophies, some have very special properties and perhaps some of these long dead creatures can even be revived

What this tells me is "Dinosaur pets", but it also tells me "but if you make one mistake you're hosed and gently caress you anyway"

Cicadas! posted:

So apparently they're implementing a hunger mechanic that works like Minecraft's (because taking pages from that heap of a game is always a good idea) where if you don't eat for long enough you starve and start taking tick damage. But, because it would be overpowered if players could just carry stores of tasty victuals with them everywhere, food now rots over time, rendering it inedible. Hooray, balance!

Shockingly, they had the foresight to make it an optional character mode so people who aren't retards don't have to put up with it. Also there's some poo poo about ugradable backpacks and fossils. 2016, year of Starbound, guys! I can feel it!

Didn't they use to have a hunger system? but then they took it out in beta, and now it's coming back with a ROTTING FOOD system? :psyduck:

Also why would a glitch have to eat food either way, they're robots.

Guess i'm glad that this is optional so that nobody but the :spergin:

est r/starbound users would use it
