Starbound is science fantasy themed as well.

And its tech runs on Balonieum

Specifically, it runs on glowing purple kool-aid.

No... it is Balonieum.

It isn't a vague process that allows it to work, it is a clear nonsense process made to sound sciencey and yet non-sense at the same time.

Basically like Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

That - that is what phlebotinum is. It's science-magic.

I think the distinction Neonivek is trying to make is that while they both don't want you to think too hard about the process, balonieum is refined phlebotinum in that the lack of explanation is a joke rather than just a non-explanation.

We are discussing the finer points of the game's style in order to better more fully enjoy the experience.

What purpose is plutonium? It's not used in any armor tier.

You use it with titanium to make an alloy that ie used. The one that's called "something steel", iirc.
Nope, you're thinking of uranium.
I've ascended the armor tiers and it skips from uranium to solarium as the secondary reagent in even-tiered equipment.

EDIT, sorry, I didn't notice your amendment.

Hmm. I have a feeling a "Floran party" is not nearly as fun as it sounds.

It's a difficult place to navigate.
I know I still haven't found everything yet.

I found the predator pants there, though.
