Natural hazards

I know this sound stupid but still i want to ask if putting in Natural hazards like fire breaking out or a comet hitting the planet well you get what i mean shouldnt it give like you some daily work on your planet so its not like rush to finish the game and then have fun

Example: How about like this you get a warning that a certain event is going to happen for example this time its Sandstorm your mission is to build a shelter and take in the npcs inside to survive and it's all between a time limit say think of 20 - 40 minute depending on how many npcs you currently have and to rescue

Blizzard: your most likely going to freeze to death so seek up a cave if you have npcs with you guide them to the cave make sure you got food and water and fire to withstand the cold blizzard last for 2 -3 minutes while you have 10-40 minute's depending on npcs and maybe how the planets reacts with it maybe causeing some extra dangers like a boss from the depths of the ice

 

I'm actually not quite sure what you mean. Are you asking if the Devs will put in natural hazards? I don't know, but it'll be cool if it did.

 

That's a really interesting concept. Kinda reminds me of SimsCity, in a way (meteor strikes, anyone?).
Some people may get annoyed after dealing with them, so if they are added, perhaps there should be blueprints you can find after over midway through the game that'll help prevent it, or at least make your planet able to deal with it in it's own time (so you can still help out if you're near, but it wouldn't be necessary).
So being able to build a firestation equivalent, let's say, so you no longer have to come back and deal with fires.

All-in-all, pretty interesting... not sure if it'd get annoying quick, though.

 

Starbound seems like the proper kind of game for natural disasters, to be honest.

 

I know that on a desert palnet sandstorms could occur, requiring you to take shelter, same thing with blizzards.
Solar flares and Ice ages on planets could be possible too, as well as tidal waves and volcanoes!!!

 

And for the natural disasters/ elements you can craft protection items such as mechs or weather control stations. Terraforming may help as well

 

This. This would be so perfect.

 

Yeah solar flares volcano outbreak meteor shower all kinds of hazards that u can come think of

 

I like this idea, but I'd like there to be ways to protect yourself and possibly your buildings from them (reinforcements, weather protection, special gear, or brew up a batch of sunblock? hehe).

 

Or take it to the next level. An advanced version of protection could be upgrading your ship to withstand massive heat to actually go to a star and stabilize it, preventing any flares. There could even be resources you can get from specific types of stars.

 

Sounds like a pretty awesome idea. I like the thought of having some absolutely overkill ones that can be extremely rare as well as smaller more manageable ones

 

Its a good idea, but it probably belongs in the suggestion section...?

 

How about like this you get a warning that a certain event is going to happen for example this time its Sandstorm your mission is to build a shelter and take in the npcs inside to survive and it's all between a time limit say think of 20 - 40 minute depending on how many npcs you currently have and to rescue

 

Yeah im sorry about that and double post are not funny <_< i mostly like hesitated when i looked for it xD

 

It sounds pretty good.

Maybe if the disasters could be foretold. Cracks in the land before earthquake. Bright sun before a solar flare. Higher water before a tsunami. Dark clouds before some s*** is about to go down.

to the above. Edit your posts!

also this should be in suggestions.

 

They did mention that "events" will take place.
Perhaps those events will be disasters?

I *Think* i heard there will be meteor strikes, that can occur on screen and off.
but don't quote me cause I can't quote where I heard it.

 

Really like the idea, having your own personal SimCity on every planet could be REALLY fun, as long as its not overused.

 

From http://geek.pikimal.com/2012/02/19/intergalactic-space-dreams-interview-with-starbounds-finn-brice/:

In one of Tiy's interviews he confirmed acid rain. I'm assuming that this won't be the only type of disaster coming...

 

Forgot about that interview! If there are lots of quests like that with a good amount of variety then this game will be amazing, no doubt.

 

that would be amazing
