    I've played out most of what starbound has to offer so far, but the one thing that I'm waiting for is messing around with logic in wiring. That kind of stuff will be coming out in the next patch, so title.

    Any ideas?

    Guessing some time before Christmas, since it's been shown to include some christmas-themed items.

    Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St Tiy soon would be there.


    The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of star-bound danced in their heads.
    And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
    Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.


    When out on twitter there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the computer I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the feeds and threw up the sash.


    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
    Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But a miniature post from the host I hold most dear.


    With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment it must be St Tiy[k].
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!


    "Now Kyren! now, OmnipotentEntity! now, Bartwe and Rhopunzel!
    On, GeorgeV! On, Legris! on, on Armagon and Mollygos!
    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"


    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
    So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
    With the update full of Toys, and bug fixes too!.

    And then, in a twinkling, I heard a beep on steams line.
    The prancing and pawing of each little whine.
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
    Downloading the update St Tiy came with a bound!.


    He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
    And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
    A bundle of Updates he had flung in his patch,
    And he looked like a peddler, just opening his batch.


    His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
    And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow
    .

    The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
    And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
    He had a broad face and a little belly,
    That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!


    He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.


    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
    And added his content, then turned with a jerk.
    And laying his finger aside of his nose,
    And giving a nod, and off he goes!


    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
    But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

    "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

    My guess is they will patch either Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, and they'll be handing out gifts in-game to people on the servers they visit. Makes sense, eh?
