    Would a system that's similar to a magic system fit into the lore or game? If so, what might it be? One could be useful with new status effects. And I don't mean magic in general, I'm thinking of a glove like item that uses modules or something. I know it's the wrong post.

    It works so long as it's "science magic". They're already working on a magic staves (but SCIENCE!) system, I think some of them are in the nightlies.

    ... And when it comes to stuff like removing bits of an atmosphere, planet, turning stuff into other stuff, or simply the fact that there's living stuff in this universe...
    We have Law's Third Clarke: Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

    I wish they would release one of their future plans posts like they did a few months back.
    To see how much their plans have changed and what new directions they are going if any.

    http://playstarbound.com/the-future-of-starbound/
    ===
    Right now the things which have yet to see any news on is

    • NPC Spawners & Building Logic: NPCs will scan the structures you build around them and the contents of chests; they will have improved inventories/behaviors depending on how valuable their surroundings are.
    • Macro Terrain Changes: Affect an entire planet’s terrain and weather
    • Spaceship Dungeons: Very large, size of a planet.
    • Mini-Map: Rotating circular map showing highlights only such as the location of friendly players, spawn points–but no major details. For the details you’d use a mapping item to create a map as you travel.
    • Dramatic Planet Modification: Not going to be implemented any time soon. Ability for players to modify huge chunks of planets through things like orbital bombardment; removing the entire first layer of a planet and leave behind a lifeless surface.
    • Villager AI: Villagers will aggro when you steal from them and follow you more aggressively.
    • Capture Pods & Mercenaries: May be able to capture NPCs with pods. Summon NPC Mercenaries by using the pod as a beacon.
    • Events: Game events, invasions and so on will keep the experience fresh.
    But if the future plans is any measure of completion. They are probably around 70% done of the design plans they listed.

    Seeing as magic doesn't exist, nothing can mimic it, as there isn't anything to mimic.
    Clark's third law is irrelevant and not most certainly not a law.

    Seems to me the pantsman never imagined why those ladies with all their epic herbal knowledge got burned for witchcraft, or what'd happen if you showed a medieval person a TV. Oh well, his loss. And Dashie? No quoting the diffs. Even if they're tiny. And speaking of tiny diffs:

    I don't get it, why do you care so much about people quoting the diffs? Sure, they don't show up when you quote them, but if they don't show up either way then what's the difference between editing them out and quoting them? Same result either way.

    Because most of them are huge, for starters.

    my first thought was CTF, my second thought was those water bottles for kids a restaurant named Lil' Cesar's used to sell in our local K-Mart that were shaped like crayons.

    ...I never got the blue one. ):

    That would be great, except for the fact that the nightly builds crash upon opening, every time. at least for me.

    Try removing the universe, mods, and player folders, and your configuration file, then try again.

    Incidentally nightlies are hit-and-miss for me with the last 2 working but the 2 before that not working. Tried this solution on every not-working build so far (except the few that I missed) and its rate of success is just as random as the thing loading in the first place.

    Probably just the general bugginess of these things though. I have similar problems with a couple other alpha/beta games, two of which traced the problem back to my OS being 64bit and them only having 32bit OSes to test on internally.

    This likely isn't very helpful since it's been going on for months and seems to resolve itself for the most part but, yeah. If it persists in the next stable release I'll be more proactive about it.
