Please stop. Sergius already pinpointed the issue here, it's the No true Scotsman fallacy at work. At best we can generalize and say that sandbox games give players substantial latitude in how they can play, any more runs into the territory of opinion supported by other opinions.

What we really need though is a No True Scotsman Sandbox Game.

One could say that Starbound is a World Crafting game

[Sirus]

But you don't craft worlds in Starbound.

[Ultimuh]

But you don't craft worlds in Starbound.

Imagine if you could.
Place a planet or something in the very void of space itself.

I WILL BRIDGE ALL ASTEROIDS

[Gentlefish]

That's the plan this, is to be able to change worlds.

They've got the framework set up in the nightlies now, which tell you the weathers of the planets. Also they have radioactive planets now.

You know, of all the things in the game, one of the ones I liked most was the coordinate system. It felt like a more intimate sort of sharing DF gen parameters or Minecraft seeds. I'd actually be really interested if they could set things up so that multiplayer servers would generate independent universes as opposed to the identical SP ones, so that coordinate sharing would be a much more community-oriented thing for those.

Actually, this could be quite neat.
I can already imagine a band of players going in a huge quest in search for the secret coordinates to a treasure-filled planet that was discovered by a lone player who left a long time ago.

And now that's my quest if I ever get back into starbound.
Make a massive temple where at the end lies coordinates to my treasure trove.

queue digging straight to the core.

didn't they have plans(lol for this company) to scrap the coordinate system to put into place one that's more linear, but easier to shoehorn a story into?  I remember that being a big outcry on the Steam forums

They have altered their plans for the co-ordinate system at least three times at this point.

Hey, here's a video made by CF with some of the new features of the patch that is being pushed to unstable next week* . I'm a bit surprised by the ocean stuff, to name one thing.

*believe at your own risk, will probably delay like, a lot

Think Steam Time.

It makes me horribly, deeply sad when people humph and moan and group up and whine about starbound, sad to the core.

Starbound is fun.

It's vast, huge beyond compare,

There's so, so much to do,
So many places to see,
So many things to find
So many quirky little lightning-spewing fire-breathing oiks to whack.

Its accompanied throughout by heart-swelling tunes and adrenaline-pumping battle themes,

The world is utterly, completely, achingly beautiful.

I love the game utterly and completely, put effort, thought, and detail into everything in it I do, and even though in all the time I've played it I haven't reached the end ( or anywhere near it) of provided content, it's truly satisfying.


Hope you had a fun weekend too.
