less than three

of what? Also, take the bold tags out of your image link and the extra http://

Less than three = <3
as in I <3 this game.

Only I'm not a saccharine douchebag, so I wouldn't actually say <3 because that's stupid.
And now you've made me EXPLAIN IT you--

*CONNECTION LOST*

Hey! I resemble that remark! <3

OT: Looking forward to this quite a bit.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do you actually mine and build stuff in this game like in Terraria, or is it just a platformer with randomly generated worlds composed of blocks?

Did you go to their website and look what this game is about? It should answer pretty much all your question and even more. Also read the F.A.Q.

But quickly yes, you mine, your gather ressource, you rescue NPC, and much much much much more. Did i say something about space station maintenance, upgrading and research? If no, go take a look on his website.

one of the two programmers from terraria is the lead on this project and then his own team of 12 devs so he has the funds to do it.  Take terraria make that one planet and then build on top of that.  Spore meets terraria perhaps and other stuff

What do you mean, "one of the two programmers from terraria"? There was only ever one man programming the game. Tiyuri, the guy leading Starbound, was the artist.

On topic: Can't wait! Looks interesting and I hope to see more news about it in the future.

Perhaps you should take your own advice and read the FAQ and the About section. Neither of them say anything about mining and building (i.e. directly removing blocks and placing them elsewhere one at a time). It only mentions nebulous "terraforming", which could mean anything.

Gotta collect Ozone blocks, build a high tower, and layer them one at a time at the atmosphere level.

I cant stop laughing

No seriously, that would be awesome gameplay

It's so funny that I will sig it.

[miauw62]

I hope that you can change the controls.
If you cant change the controls from WASD im not going to play.

"See a weird alien tree? Examine it! Maybe you’ll discover something about its use" Doesnt it imply some will have uses? and 80% of the time when i see uses it mean crafting, crafting also mean need ressource, how to get ressources? if you cant mine/get woods? etc. As for the terraforming, i believe if you can change weather with weather control building thing, i can safely assume terraforming will be like changing the biome into something else.

Well maybe you just find a cave with a gold vein, you plonk down a "mining station" of some kind, and then come back once in a while to collect the resources it gathers until the vein is depleted. Or you mine it like you would in Skyrim, simply by interacting with it without actually excavating the area.

Well yeah, but does that just change blocks into other blocks, like Corruption/Hallow in Terraria? Or can I actually dig a hole in the ground? That doesn't answer that question.

[freeformschooler]

Sordid: You can in fact dig a hole in the ground. This is confirmed by the lighting video where the lone dev is wandering through a hole they made in the ground ala Terraria. There is a pickaxe in his inventory, and he's placed torches on some remaining mid-cave blocks.

[Sordid]

Hm, okay. That does seem to indicate digging and building is actually possible. Thanks.

[mattie2009]

It's almost like the game that looks like Terraria, has mechanics like Terraria, has been shown to play like Terraria, has had screenshots that indicate Terraria-like gameplay and is headed by one of the people who worked on Terraria... is LIKE TERRARIA. Heaven forbid.
Seriously, a bit of skepticism is good every now and again, but there comes a line between skepticism and violating common sense with a rake.

There is a fair chance that the whole "mining station" thing will be in the game, considering the NPCs and structures. It seems fairly likely that you'll be able to delegate the resource harvesting to NPCs to some degree. Maybe it'll have a radius, within which resources can be harvested by the station, or maybe you could use special markers of some kind to designate a vertical harvesting area, within which resources would slowly be replaced by regular stone and added to the station's internal storage. The rate could depend on the NPCs manning the station. The station would remain active while on other worlds until it ran dry at its' normal rate (either on a timer or ore/minute, with each ore being brought in at different rates (perhaps common ores could have a minmum rate of 1 per 2 minutes, up to rare ores at a minimum rate of 1 per 20 minutes), at which point you would get a notification of some description.
