Mostly, I myself don't feel like playing until they get that new update system implemented, I'll just get discouraged every time they update and wipe the characters again.

this is what I meant

[Slayerhero90]

I'm not gonna go to the effort of logging out of steam and logging back on to an account that I tried making long before I had an email that I accidentally downloaded Starbound to because I'm used to typing in Slayerhero90 for everything, not the Slayerhero1337 I came up with the summer after 6th grade.
At least they have the same password which I'm never certain is actually my password.

Also now I know who stole the username Slayerhero90 on steam.
I stole it.
From myself.

Does anyone remember who it was that mentioned the update would be imminently with the new year?

I'd like to know, as I've decided to shoot him.


Seriously, though, ~20 days is a mean precedent. : /

I was reading through the old "hardcorize/casualize a game" thread, and someone posted this:

Hardcore Terraria
- You have to build fires, cook food, and stay in buildings just to keep from freezing to death, like Unreal World

Note the date. x)

[scriver]

I don't get it.

[MagmaMcFry]

It's a suggestion on how to change Terraria to make it hardcore, and it turns out Starbound does all that.

[Frumple]

Little bit, anyway. You don't really need to cook food, from what I've seen (single patch of neon melons or something and you're set for hours and hours), fire usually ends up only being useful if you're going atmosphere or particularly cold planets (and then, half the time you can get by just dropping torches.), and freezing becomes less of a mechanic as time passes and you get better armor. Starbound's stuff feels a lot less... call it sticky than URW's. Easier to brush off, doesn't adhere to your corpse quite so hard. It's there, I guess, but...

If all you care about is sustinance, then sure, you don't need to actually cook anything.

But if you want awesome bonuses, then you need to start getting fancy.

Like banana bread: shit-tons of regeneration and speed.

[kisame12794]

And carrot bread. Regen, speed, sets you on fire.

[Flying Dice]

Same deal for Hot Bones. Cooked food gives you some pretty great buffs, enough to eat it even when you're not hungry.

[Slayerhero90]

The most overpowered, though, is sweetcorn. One corn per sweetcorn, that's it. Same benefits as other cooked food.

[Baneling]

I like how they simulated the carrots-let-you-see-in-the-dark thing by setting you on fire.

Raw carrots don't do that. All cooked food does, though.

Starbound can't run on my laptop. That's absolutely depressing. It just crashes every time I beam down to a planet, and it runs unbelievably slow when on my ship.
