AUGH YOU MIXED THE TOXIC BIOME FURNITURE WITH THE FLOWER BIOME FURNITURE

[March]

Aklyon's server is still up, but it... decided to reset planets.

This is going rather badly, honestly. Not sure why it keeps happening besides beta.

Well just got the game and I love it. I have a Glitch for my first character and he has only an Avian tomb on the first planet he had to land on. Other than that there was nothing. I decided to leave. Next planet I found out the nastiness of a meteor shower. Then found an Avian sky ship. Thought they were pirates and proceeded to attack; I didn't know they were that killy....

Well I found nothing of interest on the planet other than that and I proceeded to go to a third planet... Well same thing except no death rocks from the sky. So decided to go inside the ship first thinking it will be easier to fight them at close quarters... Come to find out they were just a bunch of traders with weapons. Got a new gun from it. Then started to rip apart the ship with leaving the crew on the ground. Other than that nothing interesting on the planet.

Meanwhile my friend finds all neat and interesting items on his worlds. So WHY I GET SHIT PANETS?!?!

So I've been playing this the last few days.  It basically feels like Super Terraria in Space.  Which is awesome.  I'm totally not complaining.

Except there seems to be a double-edged sword to the game design.  They made a lot of ways for the gameplay to be more convenient.  Took out a lot of the tedious work aspects.  Which makes it a lot more fun to play on the one hand.  On the other hand, it also means there's very little to distract you as you fly through the equipment tier/threat level progression scheme to the very end in like 2 days.  And it doesn't seem like there's much reason to do anything else.  You can go exploring lots of worlds, but it doesn't take long to see every biome and dungeon type.  So it feels really short.  There needs to be some purpose outside of pure character advancement.

Besides that one critique, it's really great.

The game is quite early Beta. Storyline is not finished, nor started, among many other unfinished things I'm sure. I assume once the story is done you will have much more to do. And I'm sure there will be more non-story related interesting stuff too.

That said, something that could distract you could be building houses, towns, cities, and so on and so fourth.

It's beta version 1, the thing about this which they said on the release on steam is that version 1 is full of bugs and a touch unfinished, it's got the basics figured out however, stage 2 is the 'practically finished' stage, a small amount of bugs, but most of the features are put in while stage 3 is the official release, full storyline, quests and sugar and spice so I'm assuming that's why it feels a bit empty at the moment.
Edit: ninjas, they are everywhere.

I kind of assumed as much.  I'm sure they'll be adding more stuff to do for a some time to come.

Building stuff for its own sake doesn't really do much for me.  I need some reason for what I'm building.  Once I'm motivated, I'll get into it and embellish a bit.  But there's little reason to build anything in Starbound.  I can set up all the workshop and storage space I need on my ship.  Given that, there's no reason to build anything on a home planet, because of fuel costs.  None of the bosses call for an arena set-up or anything, either.

EDIT: Also...you can teleport to the home planet for free whenever. No fuel costs?

Damnit. Touhou in yet another place?

[Frumple]

Ha ha ha. There's no escape from Touhou, D. None. It's everywhere. Might as well just give up and give in, y'know?

This is what is keeping me from playing too much right now...it's the same reason I never really got too deep into minecraft...building just to build doesn't do much for me. I need subjects to torture care for.

The only Touhou thing that I enjoy is an absolutely epic guitar cover of one of the songs. I wasn't really a fan of the games, and the fandom drives me up the walls.

[Slayerhero90]

The ship doesn't have enough storage space.
I have lined almost every wall with laboratory lockers and I'm still running out of spots to put my stolen furniture.

Kancolle seems to be picking up steam and possibly replace Touhou as the memetic fandom. Plus we have ponies everywhere for the western people.
