Is it saved?
http://playstarbound.com/final-approach-to-1-0/
Honestly I don't think so.
The game is arguably worse now in some aspects, specifically the instanced no-build zones for story missions.
I played this game back when it was still in alpha, if I recalled there was very little to do besides upgrading your items and moving on to the next planet. I'm not so sure how it is like now.. But wait..
>it's still in alpha
What the fuck. It's been a year already..
>>333152121
>specifically the instanced no-build zones for story missions.
That makes sense though, otherwise people would just dig to the chests/end.
So whens the release?
>Game is complete shit
>Can a single update save it?
Dude.
too late
>>333151874
I'm retarded and bought it a while ago so I'll try it, but they NEED to change how ore progression works.
It can't just be "get this color then go to a planet and find this better color"
I'd like for it to be good to ease my remorse but I'm doubtful.
>>333152558
>a year
Starbound has been in early access since 2013, anon.
>>333152121
There's so many valid things to complain about and you complain about the thing that makes sense.
>>333155263
>get this color then go to a planet and find this better color
Still better than Terraria's "Mine this ore so you can make equipment to mine this better ore"
>>333157895
It's just the same system except Terraria's occurs all on one world so you can find later ores without needing to go to a whole new planet like Starbound.
Terraria has interesting weapons and gear as you get further in too, Starbound doesn't even have that. Just Gun #4 with better stats than Sword #9.
Starbound with mods is bretty gud yo.
>i paid for this shit
We're all allowed one, right?
>>333158328
I bet you haven't even played the last update.
shit has changed and there's special weapons and weapons with abilities now
>>333151874
No, its fundamentally a shit game.
>Lets make it so you don't need to settle on planets because you've got a shit
>Lets also put settlements on planets that you can just use, whatever lol
>Should we let players do whatever they want? Lol no linear quest path
>>333159206
I haven't played in a while bruh.
I heard they added special attacks and shit which is cool but man, has the ore progression changed?
The last ores where they were all like blue red and green were so bad it was sickening.
It'd be neat if they made it so you had to flee to different planets because the current one you were on got invaded by some hyper advanced alien race that seeks to conquer the universe.
And you would build bases and settlements to defend from these conquerors and eventually find their home world and either destroy it or assimilate it.
>>333159347
According to the update, all of those things are being fixed
>>333158550
But the best mod, the mech mod, is no longer compatible
Starbound will never be good
>>333159360
I admit that the colors are sickening, but that's why you can add vanity/cosmetic layers on top of your armor.
You can also dye them so I'm fine with it
Nobody uses the craftable weapons anyway, those are pretty shite except maybe for the technomagic staff thingys, too bad you can't change their cosmetic looks (yet?)
I don't know why everyone pretends to hate this game. I'm pissed at the lack of updates too, but it's still one of the comfiest games I've played
>Itll be finished for sure by the end of 2013
Cucklefish can go fuck theirselves.
the good thing is I finally will share my DRM free version from humble bundle
>>333157895
I don't see why it's a problem in terraria - you can jump straight to gold/platinum with the copper pick, or skip all the normal pick completely by fishing at the ocean. Progressing though the hardmode ores from breaking altars takes no time at all, and could even be skipped too if you get some good gear / an arena and go straight for the mechanical bosses.
Ores all show up on the map anyway, so between that and spelunker potions while you are exploring your tunnels you can always come back to something you couldn't mine before super easily.
>>333151874
>Lets make a sandbox game!
>okay!
>Now lets put in a linear set story!
>What the fuck!
At least, I hope that one poor soul who actually does all the fucking work said that.
>>333160198
because terraria is 100x better
>>333159914
Is there even a sex mod to go with a balloon tits mod?
What's the point otherwise?
Did theu ever add back in temperature or hunger or whatever they removed?
So sick of alpha's removing slightly interesting mechanics.
>>333160198
>I don't know why everyone pretends to hate this game
its early access syndrome plus the devs being total retards. they got an assload of money and used it for other games and shit, posted pics of them fucking off while the games been in alpha for 3 years. 3 years to work on an easily coded pixelshit game. 1 guy did axiom verge and 1 guy did stardew valley in that amount of time.
for fucks sake they already had 90% of what the game is. it couldve been finished in months after the early access version came out
>>333161532
Yeah, they're putting it all in for 1.0
I played it initially like a year and a half ago, during 'toxic koala' or whatever the name is, and it was mediocre then- now it's a lot better, though not really enough to call it a full game.
The 'nightly' version, which is basically beta-testing their unreleased updates, is actually pretty good. Multiplayer is fun too.
At this stage, i don't think a couple of story missions and bethesda-tier INFINITE QUESTS will fix the game.
If it's any consolation, it's better than a lot of other early access games at this point. (fuck cucklefish, though)
>>333161532
Yes they did.
Did no one read the changes and then proceed to ask retarded questions ITT? I haven't even played starbound in a few updates to know that it's a way different game then before. I'm excited as hell for this update and official release. I picked it up the day it released in early access and the changes are amazing in the game.
I understand some people just don't like the genre but I put 100s of hours into terraria and even bought out before it was even in steam. I still play it during the season/big updates.
Anyone know an official or even estimated update for this, I can't seem to find it online?
>>333151874
No. I lost interest when they had that eight month dead period at the start of 2014. I'm not going to bother reinstalling it.
>>333160198
By colors I meant ores. The ore progression was the most generic and tiring shit I've played.
Having to jump from planet to planet just to go from copper to iron or some shit was so tedious and made each planet into a disposable husk for whatever you needed at the time.
Please fuck off about "pretending to hate". The game is so bare bones and shite near the end that it can't even hold a candle to games like Terraria. Fuck off with comfy, there are so many other games that are comfy and good. How you can be comfortable with eating shit I'll never know.
I don't usually get angry but the thought of someone claiming everyone actually likes this game did it, congrats.
>>333161974
at least cucklefish published an actually good game ie stardew valley
So i've been playing the nightly version, can anyone explain any reasons to actually make a planet base? One of the core problems when the game first came out was that there wasn't any reason not to just live in your ship.
>>333162129
I like the genre but I can't keep caring about a game that has been stringing me along for 2.5 years after the initial release window.
>>333162449
Cosmetic reasons. Some worlds are really beautiful but the ship offers more space and is resource efficient.
>>333162165
Oh, I'm so sorry Mr. Sandvagina McFaggotpants, those VERY POSITIVE reviews on steam must be paid then?
Your opinion is a rat's dick in a sea of piss.
You're still forgetting that it's alpha and while it has it's problems, the 1.0 update atleast claims to bring even more variety to the table.
Go back to your barren Terraria then, where everything looks the same except snow and corrupted biome
You're really fucking vain if your only real problem is the ores when you even fucking admitted you haven't played the latest update
>>333162449
It might be useful if you could get these settlements to work resources on the planet and send you the shit.
Dunno if they can/are planned to be able do that but that might make it worth it.
>>333162778
fuck off tiy
>>333162778
And if your mother had wheels she would be a bicycle.
>People shit all over Starbound
>The same people then praise Terraria like it's the next coming of Christ
ha ha yeah it's r-really fun digging down to the c-core and then f-fighting a boss once every 6 hours
>>333162778
I've asked multiple times if the ore system has changed or not. I figure if it had gotten any better you would've addressed it so I guess that means it's still the same planet-hopping bullshit.
Who cares about what other people are saying, you're talking to me and I'm talking to you. Everyone else doesn't matter. Focus on this right here.
1.0 claims to bring new shit yeah, but I didn't see anywhere it saying that it would update how you progress and upgrade your shit beyond the same thing other games do but worse. If they changed it up with mutliple kinds of progression, like certain ores being important to different play styles, or if the underground was varied enough that mining on different planets was actually enjoyable then it might be a good game that can stand on its own. But right now, it can't. It fails to compete with other games of it's same genre and remains a generic clone that left a bad taste in everyone's mouths after their last major push for popularity and subsequent failures to update.
Fuck off.
Looking good. Any idea when can you expect the release? Days? Weeks? Months?
Also, is this content already in the nightly test builds?
>>333163451
Almost everything you see in the post, short of actual story missions, is pretty much already in the nightly. IGG has a torrent up of the latest one if you're interested
Taking bets, how long will it actually take them? I'm going for another half a year.
>>333163262
>planet-hopping bullshit
Did you really fucking buy this game without expecting planet-hopping bullshit?
>Who cares about what other people are saying
Because every game needs to cater to your needs amirite?
>if mining was actually enjoyable
What the hell are you even on about? there is not a single game where material collecting is made fun without engaging in a minigame or some other crap, It's helluva lot faster than in Terraria, plus it doesn't follow some retarded runescape logic where only strong material can mine stronger material and even that alone makes it more enjoyable to many players.
>same genre and remains a generic clone
Maybe that's why it's planet hopping and tries to build a story campaign? oh but you already shitted on those aswell.

Nice shitposting, friend
Now move on to the next thread
I've been playing this game every update since giraffe, and every update it gets worse and worse, it simply adds a few useless items and some a e s t h e t i c s instead of making gameplay more enjoyable. Also, it's quite obviously the devs come here to shill, for fucks sake, the first 1/8 of the previous thread was a wall of greentext. I lost hope for this slice of developer hell once the non-destructible mission areas were added.Shill off and die.desu
can you find already oceanic worlds?
>>333164251
this is actually the first time I'm in a Starbound thread defending the game, I hate earlyaccess devs who quit working the second they get some cash, but I don't hate the games they make.
Same with Cube World, Wollay is a faggot piece of shit scum, but I still love the game and wish it was finished one day (that assmunch actually posts twitter monthly now)
Man, I wish I was a shill, atleast they get paid.
Hi, Starbound dev here.
I'm sorry to hear some of you aren't completely satisfied with the current state of the game.
In your opinion, what is the game lacking that would make it better?
We will work hard to make it a reality :)
>>333164872
The game just feels lifeless compared to Terraria. There's not much real incentive to actually create a large base and take over an area, you just grab some resources and float on to the next spot
>>333164872
every single one of you people working at chucklefuck to kill yourselves
>>333164251
Git gud.
With indestructible walls, you actually need to do some fighting and platforming instead of just digging to the goal.
>>333164872
>We will work hard to make it a reality
atleast TRY to be convincing
>>333165010
>lifeless
Could you elaborate on that? Do you want there to be more creeps around?
>>333165130
GIve more incentive to make a colony other than your crew mechanic
>>333165073
But the entire area is completely indestructible, I would understand if there was some indestructible blocks interspersed was like a frame. Also, the enemies are so incredibly easy it's a joke.
>>333165236
Have you not actually played the game? At the end of a dungeon there's a switch or machine to turn off the block shield, so you can break them all you want.
>>333165609
I'd like to be able to play a sandbox game as a sandbox game, not as platformer until I find a switch so I can then backtracks for practically no reason. I enjoy freedom with my style of gameplay, like how it was before.

Go back to sucking Tiy off for pennies Omni
>>333164872
>work hard to make it a reality
O I am laffin
In the off chance that you are in fact a dev, rework your fucking progression system. I realize terraria's isn't much better, but at least you have some leeway in how to get your resources or what to go for. None of the classes, if you can call them that, feel unique in any way whatsoever, and the manipulator class has absolutely no reason to exist whatsoever. They only get four or five different staves, whereas there's at least a dozen different guns and melee weapons. I don't give a fuck about the completely irrelevant fossil system or how pretty shit looks, the weapon and armor progression is inarguably shit.
Is there any gameplay difference between the various playable races? I keep reading that they supposed to have unique abilities, but is that not implemented yet?
>>333166107
no, because the SJWs complained that making races otherabled was discrimination
not even joking
>>333166107
Apparently not, which is really fucking retarded. The only differences as of now are NPC messages, and they don't even treat you that differently- hostile bird people will still attack a bird person, etc. The fucking fish race doesn't even drown slower than the others!
>>333166463
you can't be fucking serious
give me a source or something jesus christ
Did they ever reworked their equipment system and armors?
I fucking loved how in Terraria later armors have those pretty cool and varied set bonuses and despite overall graphics manage to look alright, but in Starbound i pretty much always put iron tier shit into decorative slot forever because everything past iron tier looks fucking pig disgusting. Pure fucking vomit
>>333166486

I preorderd and realized my mistake. I told myself I wouldn't touch it untill it's "released," when I can judge it as a proper, full game.
My question is what are some popular essential mods? Trying to google it takes me to three different sites; I'm not sure which one is used the most.
>>333167236
There.. actually aren't any. All of the good ones are outdated or incompatible.
The only people that still play are either new to the game, or longtime hardcore roleplayers- just check the fucking server list.
>>333152121

Am I missing something? It's not even my first time playing the game but I can't do anything as I didn't even get a matter manipulator. Can't even cut trees or craft anything. I talked to the ship's computer and just told me to get a core fragment.

>>333169137
Just the beam-axe, though the story missions aren't there either.
Go in Starcheat and give yourself the 'Thing 4' item- it just upgrades your ship to working condition so you can play. 'Thing 8' fully upgrades the ship.
for me story missions don't work
when i stop fighting enemies just to rush to the boss room the framerate dips to like 5'

>Did you really fucking buy this game without expecting planet-hopping bullshit?
I expected planet hopping but I didn't want to have to go to a new planet every hour because I had gotten what I wanted out of that one. You should want to stay on planets and fully explore them, not get the mineral you need from this one difficulty biome and leave.
>Because every game needs to cater to your needs amirite?
What does that even mean? We're the ones talking here, what matters is what you and I think because we're the ones talking. If you wanna bring in points other people have made fine but don't just say "because others like it it must be good!".
>What the hell are you even on about?
The mineral collecting isn't the main point, I mean going down into a cave and finding all sorts of things while mining. It might be faster than Terraria if you didn't have to leave the cave every hour because you got the one mineral you needed from that planet and you need to go to a new one. With Terraria you can spend days and days in a cave finding different ores and treasure while following all kinds of cave systems. I do like what Starbound did adding even more random shit in the underground but like I said, you leave the caves all the time to get to another planet for another ore. It needs to make planets actually entire other worlds instead of mineral whores.
>Maybe that's why it's planet hopping and tries to build a story campaign?
Keyword here is tries. I haven't seen the story yet and I already ragged on the planet hopping, but I'm less than confident that a team that would ban people for talking shit about their game on their forums can write very well. The planet hopping needs to be there but you don't want to be using it all the time. You want to be jumping to new planets when you want brand new things to explore, not because you got what you need there. I'll try 1.0 when it comes out, but I'm advising everyone I know to stay away for a while yet.

Game is trash since day 1, nothing can save it
>>333171845
Negro I'm not sitting through the whole thing again just to prove someone wrong on 4chan.
If the progression system is so different then fuckin explain it. I distinctly remember the last ores being INCREDIBLY guilty of what I talked about, with only certain planets having them, making getting all the cool endgame shit a major drag. I know about all the races and shit but they just have a few different lines to say and that's it, yeah?
Villages were just coolish looking buildings filled with furniture and maybe some food when I played. I get they've added the recruitment and shit but it all still seems so frivolous and I doubt they've addressed the underlying problems that make it impossible to get out of Terraria's shadow.
Last time I played was in January but I played my bulk back in the earlier beta days. I saw the fuckin hub meteor world that added nothing but boring fetch quests and a few dungeons. I have a hard time believing they somehow turned around the entire damn game since then. The start of the game was still just like Terraria, the hub was nothing but another hurdle till you get to the cool bit, space. The mid to end game is where it needs to define itself by making you able to jump and stay on all kinds of planets.
What have they actually changed? I saw they changed combat which was cool but not the main issue. Have they added anything that doesn't just make it look nice/fun?
>>333172863
quit avatarfagging and piss off, I already told you how vain you are when your only real problem is the ore system, when the "cool endgame shit" you are talking about are not even ore related.
Just wait for the release and then you can whine all you want. It's an okay game now and when/if it gets finished, it should be even better.
It's easily worth it's pricetag and it's still alpha (for god knows how long)
>>333173959
That puppy deserved a better home.
>>333173959
>when the "cool endgame shit" you are talking about are not even ore related.
Can you elaborate on that? I quit when the ore system was all there was for "endgame" progression.
>>333175714
Well, there's all sort of special weapons that are way stronger than the crap you can craft with ore, some require blueprints, others just need to be found as rare drops
As for armor, well, you're currently limited with the crafted ones (not sure though) that either work with offensive defensively or balanced stats, the endgame stuff for armor is mostly just trying to get it to look the way you want or finding pieces other races armor
