    And using an umbrella as a parachute in the first place isn't at all strange to you?

    If that is not welding - what is it suppose to be?

    Hey, pertaining to Colony Deeds, is there a chance that we could get farmers or miners, and even craftsmen of some sort? (Maybe craftsmen produce items of their race's theme, and themed blocks that you're not able to make yourself?) I know that this will take time to make and implement, but I think it would be neat to make Entire colonies, including warriors, generic villagers, traders, craftsmen, and various laborers (like miners, lumberjacks, and farmers). And, even more of a lofty wish, but one that I think would be neat, perhaps the colonies recognize you as leader, and so they give you the randomized quests? (Maybe a "this boss monster/enemy race killed *insert name here*, go avenge them!)

    And, really reaching here, your colonies declare war on the indigenous population >:D (or, if they're more boring (or weak), establish trade and so forth..)

    @Kyuketsu: Is there a chance we could get colonists that we can get certain items from? Yes there is. That part certainly technically possible with the system right now.

    Cool, and the rest could just be flavor, and what they carry. Thank you! Using the current system, is there a chance that the colonists could interact with their environment? (planting crops, planting and chopping trees, etc)?

    nice stuff, first thing i thought looking at the gif....

    anti corrosion coating upgrade for the umbrella to walk during acid rains.

    gliding is nice, but we already have hyper jumps and rocket boots stuff, still we're unable to walk around if it rains acid.

    Looks like that penguin's working hard setting up the new Penguin Bay that Mollygos hinted at in yesterday's post...

    Neat! I'm glad that there's going to be more "miscellaneous" items and a new active system across usable objects! :nod: I've been messing around in LUA trying to get a new type of tool working, and hope I don't have to spill my creative beans getting it modded :viking:. I also like the Parasol/Umbrella item and I think if "mushroom trees" dropped mushroom material, or you used Flower Biome parts, you could also make Mushroom and Flower Parasols as well! :love:

    When Starbound first launched on Steam, i bought it the same time i saw it. I can absolutely say that SB has always improved and continues to improve on a bestial way that even GOD would play it. The entire team involved are Pixel maniacs addicted to the irritated or endangered-[insert random animal here IE Giraffe,Koala] drug, which makes them dive on new ideas and improvements. The drug effects are so devastating that they can see trillions of rainbows and colors that the HUMAN EYE can't see, It's magnificent how they use it with such effectiveness and awareness that they can die due to using it for a long period but they keep on making awesome things such as the parasol and the amazing and innovatory Penguin Bay(I can't lie, i frequent it sometimes but i promise i don't deal with black market stuff) I think i'm high now i'll just evaporate.

    I tried it both ways, but because the player is controlling the movement, it ends up feeling better when the umbrella lags behind. I think it's because you feel more like you're pulling the umbrella with your air control/momentum. Maybe if it were something like a hang glider it might feel right with more realistic air physics.

    Yes, there is a chance. Very well phrased, have a cookie. :cookie:

    That Umbrella hopefully has a random chance to get struck by lighting and supercharge you for a short time.

    I think that every player would like lightsabers (yes, I'm a fan of Star Wars:yoda:) or a super power (they must be in moderation)

    umbrellas - it is fun:3

    Good to see a penguin sparking its' way to creating something...

    Hopefully there will be a variety of colors and designs in the umbrella, as well maybe more types of objects that function that way or similar.:)
