Can Juice Box play forever now?

So Juice Box hates playing games that are not finished yet, Day Z, Rust, etc... they feel like a waste of time. Starbound is by no means done, it's perfectly fine, games take a long time to make, require lots of money to make, and lots of support to make.

Juice Box just wants to know if the game is in a finished enough state where he could pound in the massive amounts of hours without hitting a brick wall somewhere, stopping, then coming back 6 months later to find that my character would have been deleted, and my time feeling like it would have been wasted?

TL;DR: Is the game finished enough to play for a substantial amount and time and it won't feel wasted?

 

Yes, and No.

Yes, in the sense that with all the new content added: You could easily pour in an easy 80+ Hours, 120+, or even (in extreme cases) 200+ hours.

• New Biomes
• New Quests
• New things to do in general
• Moar goodies
• Game feels like it's fresh all over again

However, with the "No" department, we have:

• Still the same game, in concept
• Some of the changes feel unwelcome
• "Stable" is not quite as "Stable" I earnestly feel like it's an Unstable pushed to Stable just so people would stop complaining.
• Bug fixes are needed badly

It's sort of a hit and miss, really. I've admittedly felt a little underwhelmed with the update, but it's mostly due to the mass amount of bugs/crashes and things i've ran into. It's still a blast nontheless.

 

Why does Juice Box refer to himself as Juice Box? Reminds me of that annoying fatty from Boardwalk Empire.

 

Preferably do it in multiplayer. No time is wasted with friends!

 

Likely not.

 

Well to be blunt, I hope they don't change characters more. Umm... Not quite what I meant, I mean in the file structure. As in the file your character gets saved to. Anyway right now if started now I would have to say character and ship are going to be fine, as there are not any foreseeable changes needed to be made to them. At least not mentioned from the devs.

However the Universe still needs a lot of work and that would be the one thing that might still have a reset needed or adjustment or something.

Old characters will be getting a converter to enable them playable for this version eventually, at least it was mentioned...

Tough to say, as the game is not done yet.... But that above is roughly what of I know. That and the game plays a little differently than before in certain aspects.
