    um... how will being updated on a daily basis affect my mod support? i would rather less updating if it is going to cause me to have to be redoing my mods every day.

    Right now, we update mods (usually) by changing the version in the modinfo file. The daily updates probably won't each be a new version of the game. Chucklefish seems to be rather fond of the modding going on...I doubt they'd do something that would require mods re-releasing every day ;)

    this is where the versioning system that is bad does something good.

    your mods will usually depend on the version string (like "angry koala"), and i highly doubt that will be changed every day. more than likely these daily updates will primarily be content, which should break no mods (though it might make some redundant), so for the most part, you should not have much to worry about.

    Most excited about the pvp space station galactic war thing. Who will join me in glorious conquest!?:viking:
    Do you want:
    1. Eternal Glory
    2.Epic loot
    3.The Souls of your fallen enemies
    4. To serve under a beneficent tyrant

    Then you should join the Padded Iron Fist Movement under the great and glorious Overlord Zoltan! :rofl:

    If you join now you will receive the deluxe version of the Zoltanic Collar of Supreme Obedience! Which is more than just a bejeweled version of the slandered model but also has a 67% LESS chance of being spontaneously electrocuted!:)

    The step not to separate the starsystem is a good one, finally :) I very disliked the separation, which steal the feel of a dangerous space, because you unrealistic sterile separated universes with some planet types unavailable for unclearly reasons (unrealistic, why should a lava planet not exist in a universe?)

    But what i still dislike is, you make the game a "congrats, you'v reached tier XY"... Most items (armors and weapons) are just better version of previous tier.

    The game will be never a good sandbox if you just fill the game with tiers, which are one day all accomplished and most of the stuff from previous 9 is useless.

    I dont want to play a mario platformer in which i have to reach certain levels ... i wan't a sand box with mechanics to combine different and make things others did not made (new ideas to solve a problem, etc)- infinit or almost infinit possibilities.

    Changelog for v. Enraged Koala 18/2/2014

    This update will allow us to add new biomes and make changes to worlds without the possibility of the player losing their world. There will likely be one more world wipe sometime in the future when we finalize the universe layout. This won’t include a character/ship wipe, though, and you can still back up your worlds.

    A ton of work has gone into our patching system. After this update, we’ll be able to push content updates as and when they’re completed, rather than waiting for big engine updates to be completed. Updates after this patch will come at a near daily rate.

    Additional goodies:

    *Valentine’s Day items including swords, costumes, decorations, bow, etc
    *Engine feature, tech can now be granted by armors
    *Keybinding reconfiguration, minus the UI (you can reconfigure keys through a config file- check here for a tutorial)
    *Server stability fixes for servers with many players
    *New death animations
    *Engine feature, all objects are now scriptable and interactive
    *More Avian weaponry
    *Projectile changes
    *Dogs can now be captured (lots more pets coming soon)
    *A bunch of new items and smaller pieces of content

    *New (actually sounds good!) microphone instrument with sounds provided by Smooth McGroove!
    *Bug where warping to magma/volcano biomes caused crashing was fixed.
    Additional content has been created (new biomes, etc) but will come out just after this patch, as it needs to be adapted to the new content update system.

    Hmm. You have a point there. I hope that the pixels will be needed in addition to other materials to get a quest, since the idea of using currency to unlock quests seems a bit odd to me as well. For example, somebody might suggest that you need to bring them x item or x number of material/pixels before you are ready for the quest, or perhaps you have to save a prisoner from a cell (one who would give you a quest) that can only be accessed by using an expensive item. Considering how large of a change this is from early beta, I bet it'll be better than simple pixel --->quest progression, but we'll just have to wait and see :D
