Link to the mod.

So, seeing the no mans sky revived... I was wanting a space planet exploration game after the thread came from the grave...but that wasn't no mans sky. Wasn't a fan of space engineers (but did like Elite Dangerous and uh...there was this popular similar game on here some time back really liked that was also a space exploration game (forgot if could go to planets or not thought could). Forgot what it was, but could customize ships very heavily and at time at least it was block based...anyway...), and so I was looking at Empyerion and saw Reforged Eden and thought "perfect", thats exactly what I want.

Its late at night here though to get started, but it was only 20 dollars to get the game so I'm looking forward to giving it a go with reforged eden. I guess its not like the best "new" person mod, but also a lot of new people play it and say its fine for them and they like it more than if they played the base game.

Also I'm sure there is an Empyrion thread, but seems a bit bit more its more just about this mod for the thread and whatever people turn it into. Which pretty most who play just play the mod if not the vast majority of people who play empyrion from what I can tell.

I think the one you're thinking of that you forgot the name for was what is now known as Starships EVO?

no it was this

(whoops, guess not. I saw videos of it, but never played starmade. It was in that same vain of style though. Almost thinking it was a minecraft mod (pack) that let you go to space now that I think of it, more than an actual game. But you could actually design your own ships and land on planets and stuff)

Space Engineers?

[The_Explorer]

Space Engineers?

definitely no, but I do have that. It looked and played exactly like minecraft (blocks and all), except you started on a planet with a bunch of tech you had to do before getting to space and exploring. And actually I left out one part I forgot...I think unless getting games mixed up, fought bosses and stuff and it got a little weird but was fun. Its on steam but dunno which xD

Also been playing Empyrion a bit. I like it so far, no complaints yet but can't say much only 10 hours in. Still on haven (the starting planet that probably recommended to start on), but its neat. A little confusing, but it has a story. Not sure how far story goes, and so far not groundbreaking story but I like its there. I do like there is AI and factions to befriend (or be enemies with), I can see its gonna get really involved later on.

Starbound's the only game that's coming to mind, but that's side-scroller so it's not that.

[The_Explorer]

I found it

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1293540/Outerverse/

Its that one, though I think remembered it wrong cause dont think ship construction was that involved. dont remember really though, only played through it once

I'll have you know I just looked at the past... 50 pages of threads in this subforum seeing if I could find something that fits the description. The game it ultimately was, did not show up in that search.

Mostly it just sent me down a path of reminiscing over all these random obscure games these forums have led me to know about over the years. Also I suppose fairly depressing in seeing just how many projects popped up here that are just completely dead now.

well thanks for looking, I'm sure it sounded more intriguing than it was xD The game wasn't the best as I lost two saves and it was kinda buggy/glitchy, but it was fun and one of the few I got to completion (somehow)...for whatever thats worth. Its also never talked about anywhere, but the creator kinda did actually finish the game outside buggy stuff. Pretty unknown hidden rough cut gem really.

And yeah, I should find a day to look through the history here. Like...is shores of hazeron still alive? I played it when it got revived (recently, like last year? two years ago?) but never heard about it again. I think creator liked to shut things down randomly.

[LuuBluum]

He shut it down again, I think, to focus on releasing the single-player version on Steam.

[se5a]

He wanted to recreate second life, complete with all the sex.
I did like how it went from stone age though, that was kind of cool. and then he made ship design hard.

I played reforged Eden a bit on a mp server a few months ago, was kind of fun, but a little frustrating too.
one of the story missions just teleported you into a room full of enemies, so you died almost instantly and lost all your kit. the only way in was through the teleport too that I could see, had invisible blocks if you actually found it and tried to blast your way in. there were a few other missions that felt a bit sadistic too.

[Micro102]

I recently got Empyrion and quickly switched to reforged eden, and while the increased difficulty was fun at first, it turns to boredom as the "solution" is to spawn stuff (which they like to spawn right on top of you while stuff stuck in the walls makes constant noises that aren't blocked by obstacles so you can't grasp how many enemies are around you or where from) in and then run back to a place you can jump up on an obstacle then spend the next 5 minutes trying to reposition yourself because the large enemies like to stand right below you and the game doesn't let you aim directly down, and the tiny enemies like to run all around the room at high speeds and guerilla tactics you, and if you step too close to the edge, your character just slips off. It's just layers of bad design on top of each other.

So when things get too bad I just use console cheats

Give yourself god mode and clip through to your corpse to get your stuff back, then kill the enemies that have the ability to one-shot you.

As I've gotten further, not very impressed. Its very buggy, and I was flying a ship and it popped up an error, game crashed. I reloaded and my ship was nowhere to be found. And I was supposed to fly to this beacon thing and so I stared up at it going "well lost my only way up there"

So I consoled in god mode and flew up and gave myself a gun, since the ship had a gun but the ship disappeared into the nether. and finished the mission

but rather lame to have to do that

Yeah I remember that one, nearly made me rage quit.

[LoSboccacc]

Yeah reforged eden is just one cheap shot after another frankly I do not see the appeal.
