Farmbound

However, there's nothing to suggest that the universe pops into existence when the game start. So these plants/planets already had thousands of years to evolve.

 

Have to agree here. I guess it could be an option on high difficulty worlds, where off-world plants have a chance of being mutated by the plants native to the environment.

 

Space drugs! Space drugs! Space drugs!

 

Some ideas:
- Bio fuel
- Energy > http://community.playstarbound.com/...ectricity-aka-power-plants.12987/#post-454111
- Chemistry > http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/chemistry-anyone.3704/
- Colours, either for colouring blocks or painting > http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/custom-paintings.10569/
- Animal food > http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/agriculture-ganadery-more.10888/
- Defences. Sentient plants or plants that are thorny/emit anti-light/emit toxic gasses.

Definitely agree here, I love moving back and forth in my base and seeing the plants grow everything I ran by. Or those moments waiting for one more plant to grow...good times.

I thought about this in another thread and I figured an idea could be that on the most difficult worlds, off-world plants have a chance of being mutated by the native counterparts and turn into hostile beings or simply start spreading poison/nerve gas

edit: I'm an idiot and it was 2 posts above xD Still, at least now it's grouped with the comment it belongs to.

 

This is good it means it really will be fun for the whole family say you have a parent addicted to farmville one of my friends mom has 6 fb accounts for farmville we dont understand it now we can trick her into adventuring by offering her a better farmville expierience also we can use her in all kinds of ways for our machinama advengure movie thing

 

That's what you get for playing and liking farmville...

NEED SPACE POTATOES.

 

Needs a melon cannon you mean.

Still I'd love to see extensive farming. Nothing beats making a humongous farm and watching it all grow and flourish.

 

Well, now I'm just wondering how many plants are going into the game! I mean, even just having a majority of Earth's fruits and vegetables would be a massive undertaking. I do hope they'll let the modding community take over some of this later on! I'm sure someone will just absolutely geek out over the idea of adding new crops to Starbound.

Coming soon, ultimate farming addon for Starbound. 20,000 fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes added!

 

but...only 20.000?

But I can already imagine it...an entire planet terraformed to a greenhouse. Plants, trees and produce everywhere...I'm in heaven.

 

You know, this could mean there will be people making pixels just off of farming. Maintaining huge orchards and fields, harvesting crops and bringing the yield to space market...

I should start a winery.

 

I think this is a great addition, although I won't be too into farming myself, it's going to add in some cool opportunities for corporations to have farm planets and sell their goods.
Gotta love features that help with RPing =u=

 

Didn't even think of selling the goods...I just wanted to make a gigantic warehouse where I could swim in it, dive around in it like a tortoise, burrow in it like a gopher and toss it up and let it hit me on the head.

 

Hey, if you want to get all Uncle Scrooge with produce, you certainly can!

 

Well, I love this idea. I transform a bunch of planets into farms...
And I enjoy eating them, as a kirby undecided race.

 

Awesome.

 

+1 for getting that reference, ah childhood

Space Kirby is at it again, eating planets and spitting them back out at galaxies that look at him funny. That's no way to behave!

 

Actually in order for them to grow you must stay in that Chunk, since that's how minecraft deals with animations and factors without crashing.

 

Correction the chunk must stay loaded, the player does not have to actively be standing near them. And chunks stay loaded for a certain amount of time after you leave them, and the player keeps a radius of chunks around them loaded at all times so you can still do small ventures out.
