    Well i'm new to the game... I bought it yesterday. I quite enjoyed the first 10 minutes, but then my FPS droppen to 3 which made the game quite unplayable... that really made me upset :c I paid 13 bux for the game that I can't run :(
    And the game looks such fun!

    Does someone have a solution for the lag? Specs :
    Intel Celeron 2955u 1.4 GHz
    4GB RAM
    Old beast :D

    "old beast" it never was. Celerons were classed as work computer CPUs, so they are not meant for much of anything intensive. Starbound is a CPU heavy game, and those lag spikes you are expiriencing are likely ant time the game needs to generate anything, it will simply bottleneck the CPU.

    Further, that is a laptop CPU, so Im guessing you are trying to play on a laptop. Most laptops of that class will have a 5400RPM hard drive in them because they are efficient on power and allow for high copacity at a lower cost. Those hard drives are slow. So any time the game needs to access something, it will hiccup.
