They specifically said that the part to upgrade the light sources is going to work for lots of other stuff as well, in the same update they said the other currencies work for multiple other things. I'm not sure where the hangup is on the whole issue.
Emphasis mine. Isn't the entire game about upgrades? Why does it matter that we're getting light sources better than a lantern on a stick, on an upgrade basis? Is it integrity in video game journalism?
Okay, I can't tell. Am I coming across as like, angry or witch-hunty or whatever? I'm trying not to, but tone and text and all that. Relatedly, I'm clearly not picking up what you're putting down with the gamergate reference. All I'm saying is it's a a weird choice. Making one of your upgrade currencies focus on light is weird, because from a design perspective you're basically saying that all those cool techs that let you fly and shoot lasers have the same weight as a brighter lamp.
Look, honestly I know responding to people to prove you don't care as much as they say is just textbook internet stupidity, but I'm really just trying to make my stance clear. I think game design is interesting, or else I wouldn't care about following Starbound. This a weird game design tidbit. That's all, from me.
No, no, that's totally fine and that's awesome. Game design is a crazy concept to begin with. I was being sarcastic at the end
tone and text, as you say.
And from what other people are saying, the "resources" used to upgrade the lantern on a stick are to be used other places as well, and aren't unique to the lightsource, which is a good move on their part.

If you want we could just go back to talking about their PR management...
Instead of what we are doing right now... which is talking about the game xD
We're still complaining about them in a way
We aren't talking about "oh, lookit this cool thing I built", we're talking about "Why are they making light upgradeable?" which is totally different. We're still talking about them and not the game.
I'll... Have some pics to post later. I like the new teleporter systems. I will have some neat shacks up. Soon as I figure out how to hack basic blocks into my 3d printer. I don't like having to search for blocks after finding them once, you know? And Nexus doesn't have a mod that will do that for me.
