And yet it's still fun to putz around with. Got a mod that adds in ocean planets (Among other things). Let's just say it interacts with encounters in... odd ways. Underwater villages, dungeons with portions flooded by gravity-defying water, etc. Pretty amusing to see a bunch of Florans living in an underwater tree, TBH.

Yeah I don't understand judging the game as a finished product when they've openly admitted many, many times that most of the game systems aren't in yet or are in extremely preliminary balance stages. Quests aren't in, at least one major biome isn't in, lots of gear progression isn't in, sector progression isn't in, the map's getting reworked, 6 whole tiers aren't in, creatures are getting reworked, tech controls are getting reworked, pets are getting expanded... There's a huge list.

I don't think anyone is judging it as if though its a finished product...I am not at least...I just know until that stuff is in I won't play it much probably.

I don't really take anyone saying that they're taking a break during development as judging the final product. At this point there just isn't enough of the game completed to keep everyone enamored for a long time. Nothing wrong with that.

Feedback about the development plan and stated creative vision of the game is completely fair and shouldn't be dismissed as premature, though.

I'm not really sure how to express myself differently that wouldn't sound hostile or frustrated, which isn't the case at all. I'd rather just let that comment I made drop than risk derailing the thread or starting an interweb fight.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

No conversation for nearly a week? Must remedy that.

A mod for all those looking to make their starbound a little more... dwarfy.

I think the reason nobody is talking about Starbound is because we're all waiting anxiously for the next update. At least, that's the situation for me.

Out of curiosity, when the next update comes out, does anyone plan to have a server up shortly after?

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

It is in alpha, give it time. Hell, make a suggestion. It would probably be easy to make it fuel ships and a recipe to turn some into molotovs.

I was hoping they wouldn't make us wait a month for an update.  ;D

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

LIFTOFF IS ONE WORD.

Seriously, this has been driving me insane since I first posted in this thread.

If you have a serious problem with it, PM the OP. He's the only one who can change it.
