    Which, in turn, will become unplayable and corrupted :D

    Anyway, looking forward to the patch, held off playing till the final wipe (as it stands) so I could start anew and search for these nasty critters them forumites refer to as 'bugs' :megusta:

    I completely understand your sarcasm. We are expected to aid in the development of a game we paid for that is not finished. All we are supposed to do is basically help out by mentioning any bugs, flaws, etc that pop up. And a full changelog when you are supposed to pay attention to such a thing, makes sense, because you can't help with the Beta effectively if you know not what is supposed to be right and wrong, what is supposed to be changed and functional, and what is not, what needs to be tested, and what is believed complete.

    Quite silly, we are Beta testers, its just, unlike Beta testers in big companies, we are not paid monthly, we simply get ease of access to a game before release and afterwards for paying those we Beta test for.

    Hmm... but this is still so worth it and the game is coming along so well I doubt there is much of a problem anyways... so It's a thing that could be debated on for a long time with no winning side.

    I don't know why there's so much sarcasm and yelling. I'd hate to see your reactions if you looked at my git commit messages, I'd probably end up on fire yelling "WHY DID I SUGGEST THIS TO THE STARBOUND FORUM?"

    Anyway, you can't really understand how much can change in a small bugfix in any reasonably complicated program. Sometimes one fix will fix more than one bug.

    Also, I'm all in favor of a quantum changelog, where there is a probability of the changes being made where the universe splits at each wavefunction collapse.

    Thank you for realizing the tech slot issue. I could only assign one tech at a time or else it wouldn't work. I come and check every once and a while, happy to see y'all posting again.

    As irritating as it can be for all our saved data to be wiped, someone said in a different forum that actually made a lot of sense. They said that in the position of the Starbound developers, they are looking for our help to develop this game. They need people like us to scour the galaxies in search of crippling bugs that could potentially harm this game's reputation. We are developers in some sense. We are in this together as a cause for Starbound (and Chucklefish's) success as both a video game, and a product. So be smart whilst playing; because establishing a home, and building a life in the game in the midst of its beta testing, while tons of fun, isn't the smartest thing to do. Store as much as you can on your ship, so that when planets are wiped, you will still have those items!

    Hang in there, guys. It can be frustrating after playing hundreds of hours into the game, but in a real world sense- you are during these ladies and gentlemen a great service.

    Just want to add one thing to what you said: although worlds will probably be wiped again, building is not a bad idea, because we may find bugs doing that.

    Personally, I don't mind rebuilding everything over and over again, because I love doing it. Besides that, my restaurant is very lucrative, so I always have a reason to rebuild it. It is really popular, at least with Florans, if you know what I mean. :laugh:

    Yay! Now I can get back to playing once this lands. I hate to admit but I completely stopped after I knew another wipe was coming. It'll be nice to get back to playing.

    I hope this fix my performance issue.. when I first download starbound, it is playable just fine. But since the first named update (pertubed koala? not sure), everytime I enter npcs-packed area it goes lag...

    I cannot wait. I'm making sure I don't play until it comes out so I don't do something super awesome then lose it all. For some reason steam only pays attention to the starbound launcher, so I can't take screenshots of my cool house or screenshots of some coordinates. Ah well, Luckily this will be the Final wipe. man, I love this game!!

    You guys need to add Space suits for moons and asteroid belts!

    Bug fixes are always good. The current content is playable though, so why not adding key bindings asap, which would double the amount of testers. Potential new testers who appear to have paid for the game too?

    "Not all patches are going to take this long, of course. :)"

    Please, please take your time. I would rather wait a long time for it to be complete than it be rushed :)

    thing is if I run the server steam will think the program is already running. and I can't start the browser again without closing the server. I'm sure there's a way around that though
