    I havent heard any ideas for anything like the corruption in terraria. I really liked that idea, and suggest that instead of corruption for starbound, youre given the ability to make nuclear warheads and the sort. After using your nuclear bomb on a planet, it leaves a large area of fallout that changes the environment, music, and background into a much more dead and grayer appearance. it could also spawn irradiated monsters, and require you to wear a hazmat suit. Just think how cool it would be to travel through ruins of a once great city now teeming with monsters and radiation

    I think it would be cool if some planets start this way. and you find evidence of a old civilization that nuked itself. and/or the radiation causes you to crash and make adjustments to your ship whilst surviving on this world.

    yeah, perhaps they had a failing nuclear reactor or nuclear missile base.... and as for it growing like the corruption, i think that would keep it interesting too. They did it in STALKER, remember that game? Also, instead of monsters they could just a mutated version of each creature that would appear depending on which planet you were on

    Corruption like what you've seen in Terraria has already been given a no to by Tiy. However, having land that has suffered the aftermath of a nuclear detonation, now that I can get behind.

    yeah in that case this would be a good alternative

    if you were to nuke a solid planet i would think that a nuclear bomb would evaporate small lakes and the such, however a planet of just water could just become poisoned or something. the water planet is a good suggestion.

    I think the idea is to be as much diverse from terraria as possible.

    regardless, i just think an area of fallout on a planet would be to cool.

    I support this idea, I love (hate in game) corruption, it adds a tough sick feel to the area. With this implemented it would give a great effect to the planet, dead, mutated, and even maybe living consuming any natural organisms to create more with this plague type planet.:barefeet:

    Not much to speak about on this thread that hasn't been said... But I'll say this, Even though Tiy has said no to corruption I'm sure a wastleland planet is Starbound to be out there!

    I feel like there could be corruption in the sense of, as said in the thread already, aftermaths of Nuclear disasters etc. Walking around in a deserted, Ancient ruin would be gorram creepy. But something like a ridiculously hostile planet could be cool. Plants that eat you. Trees that eat you, and your ship. Acidic water. Constant debuffs from the air, or temperature.

    That sounds pretty cool, any other ideas to it?

    Very much Fallout, Mr. Brotherhood of Steel :D Honestly I loved what Fallout Series did with that idea, I would love to have something similar in this.
    Very much Dawn of War, with the Tyranids. I wouldn't mind going onto a planet, and then having to fight off waves of Aliens :D
