welp, you're entitled to your opinion
but just because I enjoyed things as they were, doesn't mean I'm a revisionist.

 

I don't think I ever insinuated that you were one, so...

 

Lies and slander

More lies and more slander. There's a difference between wanting some cool things that were in the game in the past versus deleting all progress.

Funny part is, I don't think I've ever said anything rude to this guy.

 

MechE, it's not "lies and slander" when I can quote you wanting the return of pretty much everything that was changed between Enraged Koala and Upbeat Giraffe. I've seen you ask for sectors, hunger, temperature, old weapon tiering, coal as fuel, random biomes on each planet, and so, so, so much more... such that considering my words "lies and slander" is in itself lies and slander.

But let's not dwell on that. I linked to a Reddit thread earlier. The person who made that thread plays Enraged Koala with his/her friends. In order to do so, they have the assets of Enraged Koala stored away. I'm sure if you contacted them, you could obtain your own copy of Enraged Koala Starbound to play with and experiment upon. Once you've experienced it yourself, perhaps you'll develop different opinions on which version had cooler features.

 

Did you ever play it? Do you know what it was like before? Videos mean nothing if youve never actually experienced it. Save for temperature (Hunger can go to hell), I feel the game is leagues better than it used to be.

To each their opinion, sure, but the opinion of one who has never experienced something doesn't hold much weight compared to those that have.

 

Temperature wasn't even any good, bluntly, because there was only "too cold freeze to death". That was the sum total of the system. Too cold, freeze to death.

There were no status changes when too cold, just that on-off switch of "start losing HP fast or don't". Temperature didn't actually account for heat: you could walk around in super-heated clothing on volcanic worlds and desert worlds all hunky-dory, no issues. And it didn't take long to make protective armor that eliminated the cold issue WITHOUT sacrificing actual armor durability.

Can't say I'm feeling that loss.

 

Maybe I remember it incorrectly. I remember that you would slow down and your screen would "fog" up.

It wasnt a perfect system, I would love to see it return with actual heat as well, but that's just me.

 

I'm pretty sure that's what happens in Stable now if you visit a firey world without proper nanosuit. Could also be swatelites temperature mod. Definitely not Enraged Koala.

 

Well now its just instant damage. Not quite the same thing. No possabilitiy of a safe zone to keep you warm, etc.

 

I wish I had popcorn, that'd make reading the comments so much more fun

 

You didn't slow down. The screen went white then you died like three seconds later as your health drained to nothing at speed. It was the same as hunger's on-off status only with a whitescreen effect.

I went through that a lot when building my satellite in the old build, placing radiators so their effect areas overlapped. Which meant I went from totally warm to absolute zero within a tile. Kinda crappy system.

That said, there was "breath steam" effect you barely saw before the screen obscured. I wouldn't mind seeing that all the time on cold worlds even without the temp system.
