    Just a notice and solution to a problem i had for a few days.


    I unpacked the packed.assets and they were stored at
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound - Unstable\assets

    attempting to run the game would having it stuck in the background and it wouldn't appear even after a long time.

    looking at the logs shows it launching normally but then locks up at the unpacked folder.
    after moving it to another location off that game folder the game launched normally.


    This is just in case anyone else is having this problem since only recently the game seems to scan the unpacked folder..
    I thought it was around few days of broken starbound. :p

    Which i don't mind at all its exciting hoping on each day and trying to find whats new.

    Probably because the game now tries to load EVERYTHING in the Assets and Mods folders, so if you have unpacked assets AND a packed.pak, the game is trying to load everything twice.

    Rename "assets" so that it starts with "_": "_assets". The game will ignore any folder/directory like that.
