    Nightly News
    • The Yetee announced 2 new official Starbound shirts! You can see them in detail with all the source links here.
    • They added 2 new Oasis mini-biome themed tenants, I have added them to the wiki page.
    • They also made a new Oasis microdungeon in Tiled, along with continued work on other recent Tiled microdungeons
    • Desert parallaxes continue to get work, you can see some great examples of them on reddit already, here and here.
    • Quiqksilver posted what seems to be a follow up to his horrific hallway 5 days ago.
    • They added 4 new admin commands, which I have added to the Commands wiki page.
      • /eval - Usage /eval <lua>. Evaluates given lua in script processor context.
      • /entityeval - Usage /entityeval <lua>. Evaluates given script in the context of the closest scripted entity to the cursor.
      • /snapshot - Usage /snapshot <file> xsize ysize. Render the view of the world centered on the player with x and y size, and store to the given sbscene file.
      • /naked - Remove all gear. Useful in macros to give a character new gear replacing the existing gear, or you know, for fun.
    • /warp was removed from the help file, not sure if it still works.
    • Curtis Schweitzer, Starbound's composer, has uploaded at least 17 different music tracks this past month (non Starbound related ones)
    • There was a lot more work on the new Glitch Underground Maze dungeon, that thing is going to be awesome.
    • Known issue - The new Log Blocks can be spawned and placed; however, they drop Pillar Blocks when mined.
    Edit: On the current Nightly, the character screen does not seem to show older pre-existing characters. This will likely be fixed soon, they were not "wiped".

    Edit 2: metadept said this is a bug and should be fixed in the Nightly tonight.


    Healthire posted this wonderful GIF. Here is his quote and a shortened version of the gif (on imgur):

    "Casual dialog between non-player entities is a good way to make your game world feel alive"

    Going to repost a late edit to my news post yesterday:
    • @Mackinz captured and pointed this out to me - http://pastebin.com/xZqcJWe9
    • tl;dr - Healthire (dev) said that new characters starting on the same planet will be "addressed". It's not a simple fix but it is not being ignored.

    Hylotls have 141 decorative objects already, Novakid have 0. (or, like 10 now, counting this news post)

    The Hylotl stuff simply does not spawn naturally ingame anywhere yet, but that will be changing. Almost all of it shows up in the upcoming Hylotl mission, and later on in Hylotl underwater cities (including an arcade that is already made).

    Underwater stuff, Hylotls need more love. Sunken ships would be cool to explore, as well.

    If it's a saloon piano it should play itself!

    I don't know. I like it how in Westerado the music doesn't stop, even in the middle of a gunfight, until the pianist gets shot.

    In fact, this opens up a new query: Is there going to be NPC musicians? One that actually plays the instruments we can obtain?

    Oh, a retrofuturistic style would be amazing!
    Kinda like how the people in the sixties or thirties imagined how the future would look like. With round windows and sleek colorful furniture.
    Something that would fit into this kinda setting.
    I guess it's retrofuturism? Or googie style, dunno xD

    It could be related to the alien biome, which is pretty retrofuturistic. I really loved it as it felt much more artistic than the others.

    Was a random idea...

    Ye'olde saloon, now with all the western themed gambling, violence and ofcourse coupled with the needs of the space age.
    I know ill be making a killing when I setup my bar sometime in the future. :V

    If not, at least that liqour cabinet will look fine next to the flight cockpit.

    I'd want to see a biomech set, like the kind of things you'd see in H.R.Gieger's artwork, though with perhaps less genetailia.

    Give the cultists some more love :D
    This sounds pretty cool too. Also, maybe the opposite and take some older designs (40's - 80's) and add a few of those as well! :chucklefish:

    To me, Novakids be like the ones in Muse's Knights of Cydonia video already. Give 'em more Wild Wild West objects with hints of future-tech.

    I'd love to see a haunted house-themed set of funriture or something ghostly, in the future. Found in a spooky micro-biome, why not.
