Eh.

Tbh, starbound got too repetitive too fast. The only fun thing was exploring and even then it was kinda hard to really enjoy that because you're usually you didn't really get that many spawns for unique locations. And the environments started to feel same-y after a while.

Still have it incase I feel a huge urge to play. Might find that mod that added nagas if I do. I liked that one.

When was the last time you played it, Ice? Was temperature still a thing?

And...As much as I like Starbound, I'll admit. It's not that great. Which sucks, because it could be so goddamn amazing. I don't know anymore. Eugh.

[Iceblaster]

Yes.

I did play it when temperature was still a thing.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I said was it since you've lasted played, silly.

[Iceblaster]

I apologize, I assumed by the phrasing of the question that you were indeed asking when was the last time I played.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...
that's exactly what i asked

[Iceblaster]

* Iceblaster's  head asplodes from the logic bomb.

*cough*

sooo... what has come about in recent days anyway?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Temperature is gone for now, hunger is as well, and...Yeeah, it got overhauled a bit.

[Dorsidwarf]

I remember when this was gonna be a game about surviving wildly different planets with environments anywhere from paradisical to venusian, from a worn-out hulk of a space station you slowly unlocked and rebuilt.

*sniff*

I also remember when the game was going to have multiple paths of progression through the game. That way not everyone needs to play the game the same way to really see everything the game has to offer.

And then they decided to make it a lack luster action platformer instead.

Seriously all they have to do is announce that they aren't doing Teraforming and the game will have officially done none of the features I bought the game for.

[KingofstarrySkies]

the salt is real

[Flying Dice]

The salt is also justified.

Temperature actually got simplified to "you need X upgrade to survive in one of the 4 planet types other than forest" whether airless, cold, hot, acid or whatever.

<double-post removed, gateway error to blame>

[Neonivek]

Basically instead of being an issue of survival where the gates somewhat felt natural... It was casualised into an outright gate with no real logical sense because SOURCES OF HEAT AND COLD DAMAGE ARE NOT NEGATED BY THE ARMOR.

Starbound on its current track is the most casualized bait and switch I ever seen.

They took a great concept for a game and went "Now, how can we make it as bland and inoffensive as humanly possible?"

What with most of the original design team jumping ship, continuous changes to the design document to remove innovation, and the team's priorities often being noise and grind over meaningful content.

Still can pull itself back to good... But the only thing it can do to make me completely give up on it is announce, officially, that terraforming is out.

[Dorsidwarf]

Frankly I'd settle for a "Survivalist" mode with temperature/food back in.

Or hell, just make the damn thing easy to mod.

but noooooooo
