    We want a Mob generator either on the website or downloadable where you can just click "create" or "generate" and it will come up with a new monster from starbound!

    Maybe they'd be better of focusing on making the game, instead of some novelty to keep us occupied for a little while.

    You will have that one later. It will be called "starbound" and every time you visit a new planet you'll see new generated monsters.
    Just kidding. Nah, i don't think that we need another small gadget. It would be nice, you would use it 5 min and forget it until release of the beta. And when the beta is here nobody will care about the generator. So i don't think it's a good idea, sorry.

    Edit reason: english is quite hard and typing even harder-.-

    They would eventually stop looking unique, which would ruin a significant part of the game.

    'We want'? Actually i think it will take the awesomeness out of the release of the game.. Also like someone said. They have better things to do.

    I honestly don't want anything right now that might slow down the development in any way.

    Good idea, but I prefer the devs keep working on the game instead on a little program..

    At first I was like: Yes moar things!

    But after reading some comments I have to agree: I'd rather see the monsters appearing in the game

    I'd rather they put time into development.
    WANT BETA NOW!

    id personally like one, the devs aren't really keeping me too interested as of now, but thats just me. Some people think seeing a monster with every click is going to completely ruin the fun of millions of monster possibilities

    I think it'd be a fun idea, but possibly too time consuming for the devs considering they're still working on the beta.
    Relinies linked a fan-made one, so I think we're better off being occupied with that and letting the devs spend as much time as they can on the game at this point in time.

    They could make one post-release or make an item that lets you generate a monster to terraform or cultivate a planet. That sounds like an innovative idea.

    Absolutely not. I'd rather we focused on getting the game out, not making teaser goodies. Even if it meant one hour, that's one hour sooner I'll be playing the game. Plus, the real magic is seeing the monsters in-game on the worlds we explore. Having something that shows it all off by simply clicking a button takes away from that.

    Why should they bother making an application for creating monsters after release of the game or the beta of the game, when you can meet your monsters inside the actual game? IF they want to do something like that it would only make sense if they do it now.
    About the cultivating planets idea... I like it. But i would like it more if you have to "import" monsters from other planet, so you can make your homeworld a zoo for animals from all over the universe. Would be funny, i think. Well, not an important feature.
