What happens when we see every monster?

You are right. They truly would have no life. Mostly because they would most likely be dead by the time they saw all of them.

 

Numbers and figures defeat all

 

Now how long would that be if it used every color on the RGB scale?

 

to be honest, i don't even understand the question.
not counting the color-combinations, ok. i get that. but without actual body-parts and limbs? are we talking about floating heads?

 

good luck.
just having that many catalouged is a reward in itself.

perhaps your reward can be a self built zoo?
or a trophy if your lucky

 

The universe implodes to a single point, waiting to unleash a new big bang so that Starbound can once again be created so that all the monsters can once again be found. Thus the cycle continues.

 

Obviously we should unlock a new regen and get a new PokeDe... I mean animal log. And then we have to trade our friends to complete everything.

 

dont forget to goto those special events!

 

Ahhhh, I gotcha!

look in tall grass.

 

Like I said in my previous comment, using the RGB scale would result in 6.8766278 x 10^12 different combinations of species (assuming each species is made up of two different base colors, more if they use more than two colors). If you were to see a new species every 10 seconds, it would take about 2.180 million years to see every species.

 

Then you should get an Achievement titled "Hax0rs!" and the description being "You found all the possible monster combinations! You either hacked, or you need to get a life. Literally. Cause you're dead."

 

I wish they released the game now so I could get started. I don't think I'll have enough time to catch'em all.

 

They're randomly generated. You can't 'see them all' because more would just keep generating, if not being added in new updates.

 

we'll make a new calculation with each patch that adds more to the random generator.

 

Not too different from how Pokemon keeps adding more Pokemon.
I caught them all. In 1998.

 

Don't forget to play solidly 24/7. Every second that the game isn't open won't count towards that 2.180 million years.

 

What if there was a bug, and the programmers registered a certain animal of having 16 different main bodies when there was only 15 available?
And when the game asks for that certain 16th body, suddenly: MISSINGNO.!

 

I heard missingno before you even said it
