How much can we edit planets?

There is no limit on the awesome power of making shit up.

 

I just hope that not anyone can go around blowing up huge chunks of planets..

 

Perhaps you need to get a license to pilot deadly planetary weapons. And to get that license, you will most likely pass a sanity test, or simply threaten the DMZ (Department of Mobilized Zed-Heads) with a rubber chicken while wearing a funny hat.

 

Well, sandbox means you can do whatever you want. And mining has been confirmed. So I think we'll be able to break blocks, and place blocks on other planets.

 

This would be for the best; although from the looks of the new pictures, you can build an entire base using a few, larger chunks of walls, since the walls look pretty much seamless and not in blocky form.

 

If you are in single player mode, you won't have to worry about this...in multiplayer...just be sure you only play with people you trust, I guess. I am still curious how multiplayer would work if players wanted to go to different planets. That could really tax any server machine.

 

Of what I heard, you would be able to build quite high up. And the planet, well you'll just pop up on the other end I guess

 

This is something I wonder too.

It would be interesting if you are playing with 3 friends and you are hosting the game on planet Zellmaniaron IV, thus your machine is considered Primary Server, and then a friend decides to go back to his/her homebase planet Cheerfullya-xD, so their machine starts a temporary server for that planet becoming a Secondary Server (since they don't need the info about everything that's going on on your planet). Then if any of the other players decide to join that planet using the specific coordinates for it, they join your friend's server instead of all of them taxing your system for different planets (assuming that it would check to see if someone is already hosting a game on that planet by checking the coordinates).
Basically that each player could host the game for their own planet, but being able to see things like their teammates' health, status, etc.

More on-topic: As long as I can build a big glass dome in which to make my main base, I will be a happy starman.

 

umm i heard you could tear take apart a planet brick by brick and rebuild it. that's a lot of customization
