This may be a cool Item to add to the game to hear music from other parts of the game and also maybe (at least for single-player) upload your own music to play. This wouldn't really work in multi-player because of profanity and downloading stuff onto someones computer. But for single player I think it would be cool to add your own music to play on your ship and base to give it thw apnosphere you desire. Not to insult the work of Curtis Schweitzer and Solatrus, their songs are amazing.
Based on screenshots there are items like radios, jukeboxes, etc in game. Not sure if they're intractable or just decorative though. As for adding your own music, there's a system in place to play your own music (and upload custom compositions) on instruments. Or were you just talking about replacing the soundtrack?
Oh right forgot about that, maybe you can force NPC's to play the instuments for days on end the basement. I hope the instruments sound better when the game is released or updated. So far it's really cool but some of the sounds I feel are sub-par
Not sure if related, but I really hope that there will be possibility to turn the action-based music off. I really hate it, when I wander around some nice world, listen to a nice calm song and suddenly the nice song is interrupted by some %*#&*$ rat with 5HP. Even if the calm music continues after exterminating that rat, I hate those interruptions.
Yeah I actually mentioned that in another thread. It so far is a pretty big issue for a lot of people. I would be fine for it in boss encounters but otherwise, no.
As for the background noise thing, how about some kind of... sound layer system? That's a horrible way to describe it, but what I meant is that you should have the option to have the stereo overlap background noises, but also have the option to not do so. That way, you WOULD be able to have full-blown background noise-free raves, OR you would be able to play music in the background and still have the ability to hear the sound of naughty space monsters who want your flesh.
