    This Starbound Wiki here has a thing to it's right on the Home Page of the Site Indicating Starbound Livestreams & when they're live or not live atm... when Live, ya can Click it to go to it to watch it. http://starbounder.org/Main_Page :up:

    Last I heard, there was gonna be a Mode something like this called Director Mode, & if I remember right, it's gonna be either a Full Release thing, or a planned Post Release thing.

    I'm not really when you expected beta, but December 2013 isn't exactly early..

    Any system requirements yet? I need to know if this game will work on my 2.3ghz quadcore AMD, radeon hd6770 toaster of a computer

    So here's an odd question. If I download and activate the beta on steam, will that invalidate and bar me from being able to play the non steam version later on? Or once the non-steam version comes out will I be able to download that and get rid of my steam version?

    Once the DRM Free version will be out, you can download it too and keep both, or delete the Steam version if you really hate it... :up:

    Not a developer and I know that won't happen. It's nonsensical.

    If you buy the game through steam, you will not be able to get a DRM Free version (although you could easily remove the folder from steamapps). HOWEVER, if you buy the game through the humble bundle page, you're given both a key and a DRM Free Link (once it becomes available). The Key is one use, but the DRM Free Link is, as far as I'm aware, unlocked and will never lock based on a download. And downloading one doesn't lock the other.

    certain tech things if i remember right, like if your an avian you can get wings on your armour and if your human you can make your armour glow.
    and then interactions between races.

    You're technically correct, but I think its safe to assume the Steam price would not be different.

    I don't think customizable keybindings are in *quite* yet, but I'm not 100% sure. You might want to grab xpadder or AHK or a similar keybinding program to build your own if you really-super-can't-wait.

    The hunger / heat / breath bars toggle themselves in-and-out as they deplete, so you only see them when you need to. If you mean disable the hunger mechanic itself, so you don't have to eat? Not as-yet, but perhaps in the future via mod or some other difficulty setting.

    The beta will run until launch, in 3 phases. This is for the long-haul, not just a flimsy quick-play-it-now beta weekend :)
