Update out?

Just rebooted the game and noticed starbound wanted to update. Anyone else?

 

Nothing here.

 

Yea, I got an update as well.. Any patch notes?

 

It feels odd that they haven't released even a twitter update. Although with the amount of people bitching about everything lately I wouldn't blame em for not wanting to.

 

Got the up date here too, came on over here hoping for patch notes so I know what changes to look for.

 

There are supposed notes that I am reading in the steam forums someone got. I shall post a link:

Inside the Link:

"Changelog for v. Offended Koala 15/12/2013

There are a whole bunch of improvements to balance here, particularly in the early game.
We aren't wiping characters or worlds, but if you want to experience the proper balance
you should make a new character/worlds to play it on!

Also..

- Experimental gun rebalance
- Experimental biome settings
- Streamlined mod support, more details here
- Unique monster changes
- Enable plasma guns
- Fix naked NPC merchants
- new portable pixel printer item (you must unlock tier 2 for it to show up in crafting).
- Tons of new blocks and items to craft
- New random encounters with unique items to find
- Lots of work in progress server changes
- Pets only attack npcs that are attacking the owner
- New songs to play on instruments including christmas carols

oh

thanks for the link!!!

What does enable plasma guns mean?

w-w-w-were there plasma guns?!?!

 

How big was the patch please?

 

255 MB

 

Roughly 255mb

 

Thankyou! And you too DareDreamer =)

 

It means they added Plasma Guns into the game.

 

Whelp, time to start over again. Might try one of the mod races this time around, or Hyolt. Floran and Hooo-man done. I'm not getting the patch on steam yet? And maybe the fix with the plasma guns will get rid of most of the perfect green cubes from cropping up.

 

Try restarting steam and closing anything related to starbound including servers and the launcher.

 

Wait, for real?

. . .

 

Got the update downloading too, can't wait to see the new goodies.

 

Well that worked, It seems the SB client was still running, had to end it in the task manager. Rebooted steam and getting update now. Time to see what sort of goodies we got now, the hype train has left the station folks.

 

Well, that plasma pistol was kinda, underwhelming
