[March]

Spent all night building a tower to space, get done, meteors destroy it, spend all morning tearing it down. Buy 26000 pixels worth of food items.

I'm thinking of picking the game up as soon as I can get money in the bank and I was wondering, does it require a particularly majestic machine to play? I mean, I can play Terraria on medium-highish settings with no problem, but this game appears to be a bit more graphically intensive.

It's still not very well optimized for lower end PCs. I can run games like Bioshock Infinite and Farcry 3 smoothly on medium settings, but I can't go to a populated area in Starbound without my framerate going down the tubes. So if you have an older computer like I do it might be worth waiting a while.

I rather doubt my laptop, let alone my tablet, would be able to run either Bioshock or FC3 "smoothly". So it might be some other kind of error. Have you tried the OpenGL and the normal version of the game both? OGL runs smoother for me, for instance.

I've been hearing rumors from other friends who play Starbound about a character wipe coming soon. I've seen the big red text that's present whenever you start up the game, but it doesn't say much about when that might be happening. Any of you folks know the date?

[The Darkling Wolf]

Presumably it'll be the next update, and the main point of it will be to prevent character/universe wipes in future. Don't think there's any official timeframe.

This may be of interest to some of the server hosts/people who play on servers a lot

Well, it seems to work, so have a commandstar link that also probably doubles as a 'is server up' link: http://lyoncraft.dyndns.org:8080/
If that shows a page, the server is probably working. Chat is most recent at the bottom.
