?

I want to be alone in a giant empty desert in Starbound. Am I sane?

  1. Yes, and all the other voices agree that you are in no need of medication.

    I'd prefer more ruins and stuff similar to them. Some to explore, instead of endless sand.

    But... But... Deserts aren't that flat...

    There are a lot of different kinds of deserts though and indeed there are flat ones!

    What kind of desert? A lot of deserts are short of sand, and barren/flat.

    Then there's this. Salt flats are deserts too, just like tundra (I think) and oceans!

    Sonoran desert. Just picture the setting of you average Western film: Mountains, cactus, dead bushes and rattlesnakes.

    EDIT: Here's a picture:

    I adore thunderstorms. I like to go out in them when the rain's coming so thick it's hard to see, and just enjoy the feel of the wind and the rain, and the thunder rumbling right overhead.

    I wonder when the Devs are gonna get it working so it's actually cloudy when it's raining. It's so bizarre to see rain in the screen shots with no clouds and the sun out. I also wonder if the devs have any oasis mini-biomes and set pieces built yet. It's been a while since they ran a desert stream. I think the last one was the sand-physics demo.

    There was a mountain fire close to my home once. I couldn't even get to 2 miles within the mountain because I can no longer endure the heat and backed out. I respected firefighters ever since.

    I would love to find a big flat open desert to walk through, for the simple fact that its quiet and lonely. Throw up a small camp fire, and a tent, and call it home.

    I understand you've been running from a man that goes by the name of the sandman.
    He fly's the sky's like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane that's abandoned

    Except there are WAVES OF MONSTERS coming at you from both sides! Quick! Build a temporary fort to repel the enemy attacks! You may get extra resources for your fort by paying a modest fee of $2.99 per brick, or ask your facebook friends to send you some more! But you better hurry, because in the empty, flat desert, EVERYTHING IS TRYING TO KILL YOU!!!

    Not only I love your idea, I also love that song *---*
    At first I wanted to make my home on an ice planet, but going through a ridiculously big and flat desert singing horse with no name appeals a lot to me...
    Can't wait to play this game :D

    This is the kind of insanity that no doctor can cure.
    I recommend seeing a local comedian, or maybe going out deep into the desert where no one can find you.

    Well, not my ACTUAL backyard but I do live in the desert ;).

    I think I killed Radscorpions in your backyard. And I'd swear I blew up a Super Mutant over by that ridge. Hope you keep plenty of Rad-Away, friend.

    Haha, dude last night I was stepping outside to have enjoy some fresh air and there was a fist sized tarantula chilling out on my door. My little brother saw it and he freaked out :giggle:
