The Rules of Starbound

    This is based off The Rules of the Internet. If you are unfamiliar with the format of the rules, click the link.
    Warning: TROTI contains NSFW language. This one will not.

    So basically, if there is a well known stereotype/ general belief that exists around the game, then it belongs on this list.
    I've only known about this game since it's Steam release in December, and some of you have been here for years. So I need some suggestions for the list.

    Example1: Florans ssstab. No exceptions.
    Example 2: Florans ssstab again. No exceptions.
    Example 3: Blame Agarans for everything. No exceptions.

    TROTI has over 1000 rules. Once again, I advise you to read them.
    I understand it if we can't reach 1000, but it would be fun to try. Suggest as many rules in as many comments as possible.
    (While following rules)
    Rules: Must be Starbound/ ChucklefishForums related.

    If anybody actually replies to this thread, the suggestions will go below.
    ______________________________________________________________________________

    1.1.1 - We don't talk about Big Ape.
    1.1.1.2 - We don't talk about Big Ape.

    643 - Dogs are more trouble than they're worth.

    91 - Much like in Minecraft, digging straight down is unwise.
    92 - Digging straight up, however, is slightly less unwise.
    93 - LAVA IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. IF YOU DID NOT LEARN THIS FROM MINECRAFT THEN YOU LEARN IT NOW.

    I am so glad my suggestions made the list. though I don't remember what the -∞ means. is it good?

    also, yeah. "No exceptions" isn't necessary on every rule.
    no exceptions.

    Before we unlock the 100s+ we have to fill in the first 100 rules.
    Check to see if this is outdated first, but we need 6-33, 38, 41-89, and 93-100.
    Once again this may be outdated. Just refrain from submitting numbers above 100 until we reach the goal. (Make an exception for rule 643.:iswydt:)

    Alright, everyone do me a huge favor and DO NOT mention rule 69.
    Not as in robot fight club, but just don't mention it. We're all tired of it.
