How deep have you spiraled into obsession with Starbound?

I think you'll need one glass block, 8 steel bars, a processor, and a robotic crafting table for that.

 

The game will start being optimized in Beta Stage 2, which is comming soon now that they are closing in on adding most all the background engine resources that they will need to create the final product. Right now everything is kind of unoptimized and hanging there, and there will be a major code streamlining starting in the next few months. As of now the game does not run well, even on systems capable of running AAA game titles, not because the game is really that complex, but because it's still so early that the engine code isn't nearly as streamlined as it will be in the final product, and has been compiled with full debugging resources enabled.

Also, they're working on fleshing out the combat mechanics right now, along with the wiring and lighting systems.

By all means, keep coming back, and in the coming months, bring up everything that makes your game lag or chug, especially if you have a sub-par gaming machine. That will help them narrow down what needs to be optimized.

Or don't, and wait until the game is more complete and, I promise you, it will run a lot better than it does now. One of the stated goals of development is that this game, in its final completed state, will run well on older computers. Likely, they don't mean 486DX machines, but rather 3-4 year old machines that were midrange in power when they came out.

 

Pentium dual core with 4 gb of ram and intel integrated graphics. This laptop is never going to play any games I enjoy Well.
Battlefield 2, Project Reality, BF3, Vindictus (Nexon) Dragon Nest, Mabinogi, lol. It barely plays Terraria (My mouse lags in that game for some reason.)

I'll be glad to have a new desktop asap. Something I can build myself, Overclock for newer titles and hopefully have a decent nVidia card in it.

 

Lol that expiration date

 

Not at all. Because you're an idiot, you see.

 

At first i too was waiting for big patches and now i have no friends to play it with either. Yay. So i will just sit patiently till release and play with strangers i guess.

 

I never spiraled. I'm just disappointed that this game has turned into a massive turd and the developers don't accept criticism. Also, why hasn't darklight been banned yet? He seems like a massive tool.

Just look at Tiy's childish reactions to criticism and Molly blaming the evil 4chan for all bad things rather than taking responsibility for her poor work ethic. I wish I could fail as hard as these people do at my job without being fired. And then when my boss comes up and asks why I haven't been performing up to standard, I can just call him an evil, entitled misogynist without any care in the world. Also he would still pay me twice my salary. I would also rant and insult our clients using my personal twitter account with no repercussions whatsoever.

 

Obsessed enough to go into the poll for the glitch a.i. but seriously despite that sillyness i love this game its still not old for me yet!

 

I think anyone reading this thread must have gone down the spiral pretty far, at least compared to most people who bought it at release.

 

I just bought starbound a few days ago. The fun has yet to begin for me...

 

I'm just going to say that I didn't have an issue with that the game only ran at 8 FPS once

 

I've played the game on several computers, and on my laptop the game will routinely get less than one frame per second during gun battles with Avians (buckshot guns make lots of particles) and during hailstorms.

I'm not exaggerating. It's a slide show.

 

Well I'm constantly watching the news right now and have been doing a lot of exploring and farming in the game. Still I can take breaks from the starbound mania now and then and even play something else.

BTW playing with two main characters on two different computers. Yes, I play starbound on a mobile computer.

 

I quit some time ago because the Robot Boss killed me within seconds (thought the inactive robot would be a companion) and had to find all the materials again. And before that my house got smashed by a meteorite. Well that didn't really motivate me heheh so I took a break.
But last Friday I killed the Robot and am now traveling around, playing slow exploring the planets for ore and stuff, preparing for the Dragon. I'm enjoying the game alot so far and play as much as I can.

I'd like to build a house again, but I'm afraid another meteorite is waiting out there to destroy it Btw Is there anything else in the game that can seriously damage/destroy my house?
It's a very nice game and have 2 more bosses/craft stuff waiting for me, so I still have enough to play for the next few days

 

Yeah, I too played Starbound on a laptop and the framerates kinda drop when the birds avians start shooting stuff. I think we need more RAM.

 

Nah, I have 8 GB of PC3 12800. It's the crappy CPU, the crappy FSB, and the mid range APU.

That and it's a hand-me down HP from Walmart... never buy HPs, never buy computers from Walmart. Both together? Recipe for disaster.

Obsessed enough to make a whole bunch of crazy mods and a giant race mod.

However, I still never actually play!

 

More obsessed over the Forums than te game itself...

Too bad some folks have decided to leave...

 

People would do well to learn how to build their own computers. It's not nearly as difficult as it used to be.
You basically put the square in the square hole and the triangle in the triangle hole. If it doesn't fit.. well.. try somewhere else

It saves you money and you ultimately end up with something better than any department store could ever offer you.
