    I have recently started playing Starbound, and I have seen a lot of WTF moments so far but what was your biggest? Mine for example was when I was mining and saw a green thing with like 20 eyes. Leave yours in the comments!

    This isn't really a WTF moment, but more of a "I'm glad I caught that for YouTube later" moment.

    I was tossing a cart to my friend so he could heal and it landed in the poison pool through a small crack in the dirt bridge we'd built.

    me and a pal had been attacking a human dungeon(the jail thing)

    we where both low on health and decided to block ourselves in to eat some bandages...i missed a block and an npc jumped on top of our dirt cube and one shotted us with a handgun, finding that ONE missing piece in the cube.

    Mine would have to be mining in this one big sandy chamber. I was just digging, and all of a sudden the whole floor collapses in an avalanche of sand. I plummet for a while, and land doing around 95 or so damage. At first I think I'll make it, then I hear the roar of a beast in the darkness. Next thing I know, I'm back on the ship.

    exploring a avian tomb and I saw that avian holding a snipe rifle down stair.
    I built a wall with a hole so I can shot him. After I hit him, he jumps up and one shot sniped me from that one block hole. what a sniper...

    Was exploring a Floran thing in the ground (not sure if a jail or what) and was doing fine destroying things. I then put up a torch just in time to see a guard with a sniper rifle one shot me when i had all but 1 bar of health. I hate snipers.

    Haha, my moment was like that, too. Just digging around as usual, and didn't think twice about whacking a piece of sand. I didn't expect it to collapse the way it did. Felt as if I was falling for an eternity. I landed in water, however, do I didn't die. It was fun when I was caving with a friend and caused a sand collapse over him. Took him forever to dig himself out, as every swing of the pick caused more sand to come tumbling down around him.

    Here i was on my starter planet, doing the quest chain. Get the the part with the beacon, and i rush it, not knowing what will happen. Little did i realize that was the sector boss. Needless to say, he yelled at me

    I found a sewer. At the top was an outhouse (which you can apparently store things in; I dunno who would store things in an outhouse...), and then I went down a ladder, and there were rusty, filth-covered pipes, nasty-looking walls, and the floor was made of sewage blocks. There were giant flies, metal spiders, and poop monsters in there, as well as a few septic tanks and other sewage-related decorations.

    Out of curiosity, I had to explore the whole thing, and the devs didn't even have the decency to reward me with any sort of treasure, joke treasure or otherwise. I left that place, and any time I go back to that planet will be too soon.

    Once upon a time, I was exploring, and I came across a cultist/bandit house. I killed the one blocking my way in and proceeded to enter the house. The house itself was fairly nice. I spotted some wood platforms, most likely leading to a basement. On my way down, I imagined what I might find - a dungeon, a stash, or maybe even a secret tomb. What I found was a little sewer-like room with a chest and a Po. There was also a bit of poo on the floor. wtf :wtf: (I did collect all the poo though- never know when you wanna build a poop house)
    Also, once I was strolling along a new planet, and I found a monster with a head that was - put simply - disturbing. And by disturbing I don't mean scary - I mean disgusting. If you've seen one, you know what I'm talking about.
    This is what its head looked like:

    Who decided to put that head in the game?

    Once, I was digging down and got a fair distance underground when I spotted a pocket of lava. Inside was a stone object that I could hardly detect. Thinking "It's an Avian tomb!" I try to dig some water close to it so I can flood out the chamber. Just before I break open the wall I notice that I can interact with it. I hover over the item, press E...

    ... and I sleep, on the bed, in the middle of lava.

    When I first found an underground flesh biome. Also when I dug through the lava at the bottom (well, I guess center) of a planet by placing dirt blocks down into the lava and then digging them up and I ended up being stuck in an infinite fall at the very bottom. Oddly enough sometimes when I placed the dirt blocks there'd be ores in them.

    I've had something similar happen, but not lava. I clicked it, got ported to it then promptly shot by 2 guys with guns that I never even saw because I hadn't lit the area up enough...I thought it was a chest :(

    For me, it would have to be those creepy little houses I found on my starting planet.

    I was in an abandoned Apex lab and I was in that room with the danger signs and the lava pits. Little did I know that the lava was not held back by reinforced steel like I had previously thought, but glass. Glass that breaks extremely easy when hit with a bone hammer. I melted pretty quickly. :/
