Farmbound

hopefully its not jut basic foods, knowing them at least one of the things in your garden will try to eat you

 

Yes, I would love that. Yes.

I love farming and whatnot. I also love that's it's in the game.
I hope we can grow all kinds of junk. Trees, fancy woods, possibly poisonous plants, giant creature eating plants, food plants, illicit cash crops that I can makes lots of money with on the black market, ect.
Ten points for Chucklefish!!!

 

I want to grow plants that look like hands!

 

Fancy.

This sounds like a rather awesome addition to the game. Since there is going to be cooking already, I can imagine the number of dishes one can make with grown crops and whatever meat you can get from monsters. I wonder if certain creatures will lay eggs, I would kill for a good space omelet. Since hunger is part of the game, and I plan to play with the survival aspects on, this'll be fun trying to make a good crop farm to be able to sustain myself off of that and what I can hunt.

With the Dev team adding in this. I am loving how big Starbound is shaping up to be.

 

As long as I can run a communist nation and have labor farms then I'm good with anything.
Though plants eating you would make it QUITE interesting.

 

Well when I saw I was quoted by somebody I was kind of hoping that it would be more then a single emoticon as that would bring up possible conversations which may come up with interesting ideas that even the devs might of become interested with, But I guess not

 

Will I be able to grow weed?Or laxative plants to give to other players?Or at least some good old alchemy?
I can imagine runnin and gunnin while being doped out of my mind,space penguins Fear Me!

 

While I could really care less if there is "Weed" Or "Laxatives" in this game; I really like the idea of adding some alchemy elements. Yea this game is very Sci-Fi and all, but it could be great for you to be able to make all kind of poisons and stuff that could be used for assassination purposes.
EX: You are playing capture the flag and you poison the runner causing his death and you have the chance to retrieve the flag to bring it back to your base.

 

Perhaps this might interest you. :alien:

 

I don't remember if I saw anywhere where they stated anything in relation to this, but god I hope not like it is in Minecraft if at all. It was nothing but annoying having to eat all the time in order to be able to run and avoid dying. You had to eat a ridiculous amount of food in Minecraft. Think about how often you had to eat. It constantly detracted you from every activity in the game and most servers have it enabled. I hate it and I hope it doesn't make a return in Starbound in the same way it existed in Minecraft.

 

finally i can put that cabbage-port ring to good use : D
time to create your own veggie army

 

Laxatives might be too dangerous. It seems that Starbound characters won't have the ability to poop, so I would imagine they would eventually explode if given a laxative.

 

Yea I saw that thread a while ago; Honestly I was making a dissenting opinion post on that thread when I decided I didn't like the post and trashed it. I'm not really going for a Utopian society for my world.

 

Popcap games gonna steal this stuff... Plants vs aliens ._. QUICK INITIATE IMIDIATE TOWER DEFENCE PROGRAMMING!!!

 

It has been stated by staff that, so far, there will be an optional hunger bar. I don't know how it'll work, though.

I, personally, enjoy that survival element. ^^ As long as I don't have to eat 24/7, that is.

 

Well, since there is going to be cooking, I don't think it's too far off to think that there's going to be a way to combine herbs and stuff into poisons or buff syringes. Since if there is farming, there might be other things you can grow, such as flowers that might have a type of pollen that gives you some sort of health regen buff or some sort of poisonous resin that you can coat your blades with. There's a lot of things they have added recently that I didn't think would make it in game so I am not going to put it passed them to add in more stuff like mixing herbs to make syringes or poisons.

Even if it's at a later date after the initial release.

 

What a long way we've come.

You know, once upon a time it was "Confirmed" that there wouldn't be hunger or temperature, or a lot of those fancy survival elements. But here we are, which proves that what might be true one day could change the next. And that the game itself is evolving more and more every day.

Also, kickass survival elements. I love it.

 

Posted in the List of Announced Game Information Thread. The food meter will take two hours to run out, so that shouldn't be much of an issue in general.

Frankly, I hope that there's some odd things we could grow. Like... a chocolate tree. Grow your own chocolate, man!
