Info about the upcoming patch!

just the starbound file/main folder.

 

Just thought I'd pop in and drop this on you

I think some in here are just saying that the game just needs a pit more life to it. The stuff I liked from Terraria:
1) Large worlds both in width and depth.
2) Lots of biomes, even deep inside a planet.
3) Playing with water. Right now you can empty a large pool of water in Starbound...go down so you can watch the water come down and fill in an area you made, and two drips come down. Yes, Starbound has better water physics, but I think the whole hydrophobic is a bit extreme.

Yes,Starbound is still a young game...but with 1M units sold, it's time to rock 'n roll. E.g. diamonds should shimmer and not look so boring. Larger worlds. Better, more fun water, etc, etc, etc.

 

Easy, pal, it seems to me the one who asked the questions was genuinely interested in our answers so that they might understand why we do what we do, not calling us out or looking down on us.

That being said, I find I have to disagree with your statement about games being worthless by nature. Sure, everything you do in a game is confined to the universe of that game itself, which, does not actually exist outside or minds, and can easily be undone or swept away with a flip of a switch. The point, though, is that the experiences and memories you take away from playing a good game are what's really important, not the act of playing of the game itself. This makes it no different from any other activity or hobby, such as drawing, writing, playing music, etc. The end results may usually be less tangible when it comes to playing games, but all these activates can hold a deeper personal meaning for the practitioner that goes beyond the act and the results.

 

@mollygos: Could you implement a system which gives Chests - depending on the size - a bigger storage? I mean you could say small chests stick with 16 slots and the bigger chests and crates get, the more storage they offer. You could double the space i.e.
Just as a wish from my side because I don't think it's a lot of work. And I don't even need it this update!
Anyway keep it up! Looking forward to the wipe - to be precise to the update! And I like your work!

- btw: Which language does Starbound use? Java?

 

I'm looking forward to the update, especially the wiring fix

[Also as a tiny suggestion, do you think we could get security cameras to behave like the turrets do - as a wiring item, they could have an output that triggers when an NPC is detected]

 

Revolvers. Oh man... *salivates*

 

Hm wondering if those "Pulse rifles" are craftable. Getting anyways one of them atleast, however I still prefere plasma weapons. Just because of their kinda complex way they function. Amplified Microwave Pulses are kinda boring compared to minimum 20k degree Celsius hot plasma ^^

 

Do more optimization please

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

All the patches are going to take this long!?!


(P.S. kidding "Not all patches are going to take this long, of course. ")

but in all seriousness I hope that some of these bug fixes will make it playable on my computer

EDIT: you should make all revolvers do immense damage but make them all take 1/6th of your energy.

 

I'm waiting impatiently for this patch u.u

 

What does this mean???

 

A ton of changes and fixes occurred

 

I kinda hoped it was ready for release .

 

I'm not modder so I don't know the file system and structure of Starbound - but that many inserts, plus the changes looks like some major content to me.

....aaaand now I can't sleep...

 

1) true that would be sweet
2) also sweet...
3) There, i would wish the terraia bucket or the pumps to see in the future... had a lot of fun with those.

4) starship expansion is my #1 i wait for.... i need more hoard space

This will be the best game 2014!!!! Good job devs!!

 

Just want to say thanks for the updates. Actually looking forward to the character wipe so I can start again with the exploration early on. Out of all the money I've spent on games this year I've spent so much more time on Starbound, which isn't at all like my usual type of game. Cheers and keep up the good work.

 

I've kept quiet on this, but this is getting so frustrating. I have to voice, so flame away ... These character wipes and world wipes are getting stupid. I have taken part in plenty of alpha/beta games. I've seen, at the most, 2 full wipes in these stages! I've also had the chance to dev and code on a few games. Most of those games were three dimensional, with fully interactive worlds and environments. I am by no means an expert, but I do understand the inner workings ... strictly speaking. This is a side scroller with rpg elements. So you folks are either shooting from the hip, on a hit or miss strategy, or you folks are just lazy! In either case, poorly handled. I can't find any justification for this many wipes.

I love this game. I love the content, the crafting, the exploring etc ... its fantastic. But its becoming less satisfying. It's like ... building a sand castle ... you build it up, you mold it, exactly how you want it. You find ways to upgrade it, improve on it. You have a blast doing it, and then ... BAM! Someone knocks it down. You build it up again and again, it gets knocked down. Its no longer fun. The joy of exploring and finding new ways to improve upon your work looses all flavor. Sure, you folks say its the last wipe. But the fact remains, and your own patch release notes confirm it. Implementing a way to fix things with limited wipes should have been your first priority. Wipes, are most usually, the very last resort. Content is king, but so is user experience .......

 

I totally agree with you!
