The purpose of having to scan things is so you are encouraged to explore the world and check out the different planets and structures.

I feel you chippy, imo starbound was in this best state during the beta early beta phase, back then, you crafted items to summon the next tier of boss, and I liked that the most, cause starbound wasn't so liner then, back then it was a lot more like Terraria, you did what you wanted when you wanted and the game ended when you wanted it to, now its "go here, do this, then go here do that, and then tada you win" and after that win, there's no feel to do anything more, there's no reason do anything more

I also enjoyed the beta more than the finished game but for a different reason. I really liked the warmth system, where areas were hot or cold planets that you had to accommodate for that. At early game you could go to snowy planets, but you'd need to stay indoors or right next to fires to prevent yourself from freezing. If you were out in a blizzard you'd freeze really fast and you'd need to get indoors quickly. Naturally, this could be prevented if you had warmer clothes, so if you had any you'd need to wear them and sacrifice your armor protection to move around. This also occurred as an organic way of preventing early game players from to digging too deep into the core. When on desert planets you could fare just fine on the surface with little padding, but after you dug too deep into the planets core it'd get really cold really fast. The beta game play felt much more immersive than it is at current, it felt like you were actually visiting planets and surviving on them.

Terraria works because whatever story it has is shoved WAY into the background, almost to the point of nonexistence, and the player's goals just coincidentally align with the story. Starbound forces the player to follow a storyline, making the player come to the bosses after spending a gruesome amount of time scanning stuff. Terraria, like minecraft, just dumps you in the world and says good luck. Starbound holds your hand the entire time.

We never got past the mech bosses and eventually dropped the playthrough since one or two people were busy for the next few months, but I still really enjoyed the enormous change in gameplay those two items gave us.

It fell apart when they decided to sepparate fighting from building shit. They even went out of their way to remove any possibilities to build an autofarm and made traps non-mineable so pretty much everything you build that isn't an airlock is purely cosmetic. Meanwhile in terraria, you are required to build your own boss arena, you can even automate the whole battle with traps and teleporters and have the tools to build a whole slew of contraptions to make life easier. Building has meaning in terraria while starbound is almost embarassed about it and wishes it was an action game.

Honestly before the story was added to the game Starbound was one of my favorite games in my Steam library. You just felt so free while playing it, with no set goals or a linear path to follow the universe was yours! However raw mediocrity is what became of the game with its predictable and overall boring storyline...

@Crazykidthree33

He's talking about the fact that before every boss you need to scan things when they're plenty of more interesting things in the game they could be taking advantage of in place of these repetitive search and scan mission. Tl;dr: Add more ways to complete the search and scan missions. They feel like filler, not progress. Also, give in-game tips on what gear I should aim for before going to face the boss instead of a vague "this will be difficult" message. In full, this is my thoughts: The beginning of Starbound is interesting because it gives you two ways to get the core fragments. You can either kill the beast and collect the free cores in the abandoned mineshaft or delve deep into the planet to mine the fragments yourself. The beast is quicker to do but the underground holds more an better loot, so whichever you choose is entirely your decision and will bring a bit of variety to each new playthrough. However, this is the only time Starbound does this with its story missions. From then on out you're just flying around scanning random junk that usually amounts to Esther giving generic "Oh, of course, this was the answer all along!" and various other ways to say basically the same thing. Doesn't matter what things you scan, or sometimes even the race it belongs to, the experience doing it will feel identical to the first time you've done it. Just some more specific dialog is all I ask for. This problem is also accentuated with the fact that you can just ignore the quest missions in the pursuit for the biggest stats since they're not locked behind story once you can travel through space. You can exit the starting planet and ignore the quests until you've got tier 6 gear. Once you've gotten that, all that's left is the story. That means you'll be facing the scan things, then boss fight back-to-back 5 times. It's also guaranteed that you'll be spending more time searching for the race settlement you need than facing the bosses. While you can attribute this to the fault of the player, I'll also mention that the game tells you several times that you'll want to be well equipped to fight bosses but never informs you what tier is modest or even give the slightest hint of when you should reasonably stop. Honestly, the best way to fix the story issue without making the game more linear is to incorporate several ways in which you can complete the story. Maybe instead of *just* having me scan things in a races town you can also suggest that I can also go out and find a hostile dungeon and find a quest specific item, that will only spawn if the mission is active, for Esther to study herself. Nothing is taken from the game and it's not a huge overhaul for the story as it is now. All I did was give another option, but that single addition can make all the difference in making sequential playthroughs of the game more enjoyable because there's a chance you can find something different. To this day I've never completed Starbound's story. Yet, I've made tier 6 armor, unlocked all the tech, and fully upgraded my ship and it's entirely because it's the least linear parts of the game and feels more worth my time doing rather than saving the universe.

A pointless story/linear that u can rush it very fast and not very big deal with a chosen one story "clise" that u could be with every race that for me does not. 4. no random unique generated monster/planets . this game could have some more potential and they wasted so many years for nothing (only if they bring older content back that made starbound good) but yeah i don't what was in their minds in that moment of 1.0 release but is not me to judge starbound need to be an exploration adventure game now its just a simple game that u play once and that's it not felling to coming back since 1.0 did to this game. hope they will bring some big updates by adding old stuff back or at least some thing that made it STARBOUND "Adventure ,Exploration ,Sandbox game" not pointless updates that make u bored and forgetting that this game even exist after u play once.

You shouldn't have to download a mod to save a game's entertainment. Terraria and Minecraft both stand as very solid and enjoyable games without mods, with the mods only really adding additional enjoyment. Starbound is very hard for me to enjoy because it relies too much on a very bland exploration system leaving building to be EXTREMELY basic and making it hard to obtain even simple fruniture items like bookcases or fireplaces until late into the game, or stealing from NPC settlements who will kill you if you do it too much.

I feel like a lot of these points also apply to vanilla Terraria. (Just throwing that game out cause that's kinda what you're known for) especially the point about getting a fancy new sword at the end but not really having anything to use it on. The absolutely final tier of armor in Terraria requires bars you get from the Moon-lord, but what's the point when you think about it? So you can fight the Moon-lord better? On a side note, the story in Starbound is 100% optional. There's really nothing stopping you from saying "Don't care about Earth, gonna go be a space Pirate!" And you can still get to the final tier of armor and weapons without ever having done any of the missions with the exception of the intro mission (mining facility is required to fix your ship). Can't really say that about other 2D Sandbox games as most gateway progress behind the defeat of a specific boss. None the less, still hyped for 1.4 of Starbound and 1.3 of Terraria, lots of fun things to look forward to.

I'd rather that they'd improve the story quests rather than leave me to ignore them. I want to fight the bosses, but god do those scanning missions suck. The least they could do is provide unique dialog for every item scanned so at least that can be interesting or give more abundance to these items. Right now, most items just have Esther give a vague statement along the lines of, "Very interesting..." and the only places worth your time during these quests are the race's village because anywhere else won't give you anything near as much as you need to scan. This isn't my ideal fix, but I'd settle for it. I'd rather that they give more options than just scanning furniture to complete the quests so whichever I stumble across first is what I do.

Sure, but Starbound is such a pain to play, with the characters being 4 blocks tall, there's quite a bit of micromanagement going (too many blocks to deal with, inventory is basically always full, especially like halfway through the game and onward), it's really painful to build a base, especially anything visually appealing, what to use that base for, storage? That's kinda it, build a farm but that'll supply you til you finish. What's left in the game? A story that is repetitive and it just asks you to visit planets, there's really no story. The ruin destroyed earth, you find relics visiting various planets, defeat ruin, done. That's the only thing this game really has going for it and it doesn't exist, just has lost potential. I've always had this notion that the game is supposed to have some kinda of minimal voice acting.

In my experience, you don't usually kill the moon lord on the first try. So you do get to craft some armor bits with his ore, before ending the game.

Between Terraria and Starbound, my hour count is way bigger in terraria, but at the same time I've owned that game far longer than starbound. However a BIG chunk of the starbound playtime happened because after I beat the final boss I just kinda tried to explore more planets and ultimately ended up running out of things to do, there are no more goals, so I started modding went all out and installed frackin universe, which adds a lot of things to do and upgrade to the game, and that's why I got a lot more mileage out of it, however Terraria I always had a goal, there was always one more boss to fight, and frankly I've never beaten the moon lord solo, the only time I've beaten him was with a squad of *FIVE* people. In terms of base games, Starbound seems bigger but Terraria is far more replayable imo. I do love my avian character in starbound tho, so that's also a plus. tl;dr I like both games.

I honestly feel exactly the same. I loved my first Starbound play-through, but every time i try to start another one, i just cant get into it. You put the feeling i had into words flawlessly.

Warning, Big rant ahead: I've had this opinion for awhile and never got to share it so I kinda just burst. see i find the lack of diversity in the randomly generated quests and structures an issue, like there are 3 quests: Give somebody item A, Bring me this item, Or Go someplace and kill something maybe bring a person back with you. i wish there were more randomly generated structures that weren't 1 of 4 things: hostile base, village or town, traders camp, abandoned or ruined i also really with they made the story better. i HATE that its: scan, boss, scan, boss, scan, boss, scan, boss, scan, boss, final boss. i do wish they had other objectives to get you to a boss rather then just scanning, i also wish they weren't all large structures with a boss at the end. The only deviation of that is the Glitch boss one which i really liked because it was a defend mission... that you couldn't lose. I wish some of the relics were guarded by a legion instead of a single entity, i also wish there was more of a punishment for dying. like having to restart the level instead of respawning at one of those save pads. it really lowered the difficulty of bosses, and most of all I HATE how damn easy it is to kill the final boss. it has 3 maybe 4 attacks; which is pathetic, and if you just horded shurikens and mass produced bandages you just stand in one spot alternating spam left clicking and a couple right clicks. The final boss is so underwhelming and all the difficulty is just getting to the boss. and the fight is so bland and tasteless, no intensity, the arena doesn't change, the boss doesn't have multiple forms, its minions aren't all that unique, its attacks are hella telegraphed and easy to dodge. Its just absolutely pathetic. most of the time the game feels half finished and it requires mods to be enjoyable, and even then it isn't that fun.

Recently got into starbound. And realized it had a huge learning curve for the first bit of the game but then the rest was self explanatory and wasn’t hard to get into. The game itself is very beautiful and it deserves its props for being aesthetically pleasing. But as far as gameplay, I expected more. Once you get your epps and upgrades, you basically can go anywhere at any time and don’t face any kind of weather or ecological challenges considering each system has their own set of climates. I had high hopes considering how hard it was to understand the gameplay and initial planets you explore but after, everything felt self explanatory and didn’t have much challenge

Now 1 year later what you think of the game with the Bounty Hunters update?

how many hours do you have in terraria? i'm at roughly 1,850 i think. after that i kind of felt like i had explored everything and a new play through just felt tedious did you ever feel like that?

Hey chippy, stupid question ; but have you played with the frackin universe mod yet? (I'm not that active on KZread anymore so I don't know :) )

“I cannot leave them behind bars, when I am free, bound for the stars.”

Starbound had sooo much potential. It is sad that the game lost it's potential since the beginning. I remember Beta version was very different from 1.0 release. I still like Starbound, even if nobody plays it.

Cant you play another class, like sticking to be a ranger, or a melee?

Have you tried the Extended Story Mod?

I see where you're coming from on this. Starbound has been an incredible game with some very interesting ideas and content, and hopefully this next update will bring something big. Perhaps a revamp of sidequests to make the game feel more immersive. Perhaps an overhaul of dungeon, monster, and world variation. Who knows. Personally I feel like if sidequests had more depth to them, and there was more to them than "Bring me some ore, turn it into an ingot, ok you're done", then It would be more fun... Like, say, A sidequest where a group of scouts are trying to infiltrate this labratory, only to find that the expariments had broken out and have started causing big trouble, or perhaps A small-scale civil war is going on, and you can either choose to fight for one side, or find some kind of way to peacefully negotiate it out. I dunno, I just feel of all the aspects starbound needs boosted, it's the questing. I feel like Frackin universe, and a couple other mods did pretty well.

A Floran (Race) NPC

Most update content is more stuff to do at the tail end of the game, so I've found that having a save file sitting by the 'end game' is the best way to get back into the game when a cool update drops.

Whenever I replay it, I'm giving myself some challenges. Like collecting all the clothing, all the hats, all the bees, build an underground house, build a house under water, like something like that. :D

I actually had a lot of fun with this game, until I reached a point where progress ground to a halt. I wanted to get a grappling hook to exploration better because the ropes I had were awful, so I looked up how to get it and saw the long list of things I needed to get. So I went and did them. It was actually really fun. A friend helped me out and we had mods so I turned myself into a wyvern femboy with a fox tail. I slowly upgraded my crafting stations, built a house for my fox maid to keep tidy, got massive elemental buffalos, then finally got my hook. It was sublime using that. I went and got all the backpack upgrades so I could explore all the worlds, and this is where it stopped being fun. Sure I could’ve done the story, but scanning stuff sounded really uninteresting. I got no new weapons, no more upgrades. I had the final upgrades for my stations, and made rather good armor. And all of that was so time consuming that I’m hesitant to start again even with Frackin Universe. Perhaps I’m just too much of a Terraria player.

Try it with the Frackin Universe mod. Its close enough to still be starbound but different enough to be its own thing. It basically just made starbound better.

Maybe they could make a new colony update that adds more blocks like some coloured ones for pixel art and npc's like the tailor (or however it's called) so clothing from different races isn't as rare. The update could add a new colony system: When you make your first couple of homes the background could feature some houses. When the player expands his colony, more homes will appear in the background. You could stack homes and the game detects it as a tower. Depending on the blocks used and types of npc's that live in your mansion/house/tower the style of the buildings in the background could change. Tall glitch buildings could make the background feature Rapunzel styled towers or evil towers depending on block colour. Mansion shapes spawn castles and house shapes spawn smaller peasant homes in the background, while a human tower could give you a skyscraper, mansions spawn schools, museums or just mansions, etc. The different races and block pallettes make differently themed buildings. Maybe there could be an architect npc that gives you building blocks/quests/blueprints and rewards you for making a bigger colony. The background buildings could shift if you walk into a differently styled area of your colony. The background styles could be: stone age, (mostly floran and fenerox) Scottland of course, (for the alpaca's) jungle/temple, (for the avians) city, future utopia or distopia, etc. But my two favourites are: retro future (cool future buildings on the ground and higher up you could see some of those awesome curvy floating buildings. And ancient/modern/future Japan. Why Japan and not China or Korea? Because Japan is the only one of those who actually built a lot of taller buildings... and they have torii's... those things are cool... But these ideas could attract some new players and bring back old ones. If can make a proper rewarding system with this, it could give the game a lot more replayability!

Starboud was much better during the Beta. Now it just bores me.

I still prefer starbound to terraria. Starbound feels like a more relaxing and casual game, which is bad for some players, but I love that about it. Different strokes for different folks

patman is the sail mod really makes it seem like a brand new game

How is your frame rate that good?

I honestly hope that 1.4 is an update that fixes things. Features such as the mechs or the space stations have such potential but feel very rushed and half done. The story is way too linear and formulaic with the player scanning stuff the exact same way ten times. Overall though, I still love the game, and feel it really just boils down to personal preference as to its replayability. Some like terraria more because of its combat, others like the peaceful exploration of starbound. I often ignore the story when I play starbound, simply because it is a bit too boring for me and speeds the player through some of the best moments of the game.

I played starbound when it was pretty fresh. My friend found it around this year, and he wants to play it with me. It's got pretty boring, so that's always a chore, since I already beat the game before there was a real campaign, and I just don't enjoy it now.

tought you had 500k subs. (lets reach that fast! XD)

Huh. I played it for about 3 hours and got all the same in impressions. I'm actually glad you did this video, hopefully you do a follow up once the update is out about how it's looking then!

Your the type of person that likes playing game for their story u need smthng to do, smthng the game needs to give u to do. im playing starbound cuz of the infinite possibilitys how i play. i actually installed mods to SKIP the entire story line its just me and the world. and thats all i want , i want to colonize planets maybe build a base here Grind Upgrade Terrorize, give myself objectives i want to do. maybe theres this one spaceship i want to attack maybe ill colonize this solar system and with mods its definetly a whole nother experience, More Mobs More ores More vehicles planets. People attacking ur base wars, building a economy exlpore new biomes new challenges super rare ore more grinding farming weapons. as i said INFINITE Possibilitys, but it all comes down how u like playing ur games, if ur in for the story then yeh u run outa things to do once its done. Its just my personal opinion tho.

The mod named Frackin' Universe kinda makes the game a little bit more interesting, but not really. I've played for about 100 hours in the alpha-early beta build and the game kinda stopped being interesting for me anymore, cuz like you've said, it's way too linear to be a good re-playable sandbox type game. You can't really do a class playthrough, there's not enough loot from bosses and etc. So I've played 166 hours of starbound in total and most of these hours were spent in the early builds and as Chucklefish didn't really add that much with the release the game became really boring for me.

I can relate so much, I wanted to make a full ship with each individual race but really didn't have the motivation so only completed the game once with a fully upgraded , only avian crew ship lol, it was fun but I couldn't do it again for every race

Have you tried the frackin universe mod? Remember you have to back up your saves because it is pretty much a one way trip basically you have to go into the files and delete it if you want to get rid of it.

First time playing starbound was amazing. Second time was meh, literally doing the same thing.. In terraria, its different, i can play it multiple times, weird.. Maybe because of the bosses..

Try using a mod called Frackin Universe if you want a lot more new stuff.

You know, if you want to experience something new in Starbound, then you should really play the Frackin Universe mod.

I agree I've been working on a mod that makes the settlement system more indepth. with random tower defense like raids and bosses that can spawn in relation to how far along in the storyline you are. but getting the flags to trigger properly is difficult.

I've actually learned you can totally explore all planets completely ignoring missions after ftl drive is fixed. I'm on volcano planets still haven't done floran mission.

Just download the Frackin' Universe Mod - 100+ hours of new gameplay!

It's quite fun, but the problem is GUNS. All firearms, especially one handed (except unique ones) are very weak, and you didn't have ANY satisfaction from finding / using those.

During my first playthrough of Starbound every single thing was fucking beautiful and fantastic and discovering all these things made me so happy that this space exploring sandbox like game existed.. my hard drive corrupted, and I lost my world...and ever since the I've tried so hard to replicate that same feeling that the game gave me... but I cant, as you put it, it's the same shtick over and over again...

I just watched more of the video and... Thanks for telling about the update! i will definitely play or idk...

Now see, a lot of folks in the comments here are going "the game was better when it didn't have a story", and while I see where it is they're coming from...I don't know, the story aspect is one of the things I like most about Starbound. I haven't been around since the beta so I may not have room to talk, but that's my two cents on it, it kind of sets it apart from Terraria in what I feel is a good way. Though I do agree with you that it messes a bit with the replayability, the game has quite a few flaws, and the scanning stuff quests are quite tedious. I enjoy the game, or I did when I was playing regularly, but I understand why someone wouldn't. Perhaps if there were more storyline quests than "scan stuff", or the random quests were more interesting, or there were sidequests to do. I guess with this game, things are just locked behind progression, while in Terraria, the progression is still pretty similar but you can technically do any thing at any time.

If you don't do any missions, you're already in sandbox box mode. Nothing is really gained through the story other than some weapons. You can get the best weapons and armor without ever killing a boss, or doing a quest for that matter.

I actually find myself playing Starbound more than Terraria these days. The modding community is amazing. Even without mods, the vanilla Starbound story campaign is little more than a glorified tutorial that you have to get out of the way to actually "play the game" (and there are even mods to remove the campaign and open up a true sandbox experience). Case in point: I've gotten the main story out of the way, and I am currently roleplaying a veteran, semi-retired Protector who is constructing an interplanetary seed vault (using a mod that allows the creation of a workstation that extracts seeds and saplings from both vanilla and modded crops), as well as a vineyard and winemaking studio on a nearby lush moon (using a mod that allows the creation of alcoholic drinks). I also prefer building in Starbound, as well ... simply right clicking to make background walls is a hell of a lot more intuitive than having to craft background walls at a crafting station.

i'm really surprised the deathy lag wasn't mentioned

Those ideasat the end are great, adding in some new mini bosses or a few new mid game bosses would really make the middle of the game more than a mish-mash of aimless wandering to scan things to fight a boss and do it all over again on another planet

if your looking for a big change to starbound, id highly suggest my mod pack on steam collections, look up "purplehats largest starbound mod pack" i just got done updating and fixing bugs. if you look at starbound collections on the steam workshop, mines the 6th top rated of all time. it'll deff give you that new game feeling your looking for man.

What are you talking about? Mods and Add-ons are pretty much the same things.

aw man can't wait for 1.4. I don't play right now either, but I've had tons of fun doing, well, non-vanilla stuff that kept me playing for months longer than I could have! Tons of mods, role-play, and most importantly, putting my mind to building stuff on terraformed barren planets for said role-play (or just for fun and sense of accomplishment). With blocks and furniture from mods, building becomes way more interesting, plus you can challenge yourself to build them without the use of admin mode and stuff. I guess a lot of my enjoyment also came from being able to play together with a friend, though, so there's that. doing things like hardcore challenges is way better with other people, that's for sure

The life in this game sucks. Biggest complaint about this game is that I never wanna go underground because 1. There isn't as cool loot as I could get from exploring caves in Terraria. And 2. Theres no easy way to get back to the surface, and digging in a straight line upwards/backtracking is NOT fun. In Terraria you just drink a potion or use an item and you're home.

I felt like Starbound put way too much emphasis on content over quality, especially compared to Terraria. The planets are plentiful but they are mostly the same, the enemies are interesting early on but later on become very similiar, the scan quests are just an awful way to stretch out the game (thank god for mods that remove them), the sidequests which you have to usually have to do for these missions also are either fetch quests or "go there, kill that", which would fun if movement was more interesting, scaling mountains faster, fall damage more lenient and combat actually good. The game often lagged for me even on single player, said combat usually resorted to shoot enemy, retreat, shoot again or move in and spam attack (to be fair, that's how you dealt with most encounters in Terraria, but at least the enemies were tougher and had ways to circumvent said movement, like passing through walls, quickly moving near you while giving you some time to react like Mimics or Turtles, that one worm from the orange celestial tower) mining always felt kind of slow, mostly because there is a big lack of large open caverns like Terraria and underground buildings being kind of rare, uninteresting and having the most usual loot there is, and well, I could just go on and on. The movement sucks, the usual walk is okay but from the dash skills the only one worth using is sprint because the others are bad (and in fact detrimental, if anyone saw PBG's Starbound Hardcore or just played for yourself you'd know), the jump skills are ok, and morph ball was fun, but those are about it. I guess you get cars, but you need so many pixels it's not until really far into the game (and I only got to try them then I was playing with console commands with a friend because I couldn't be bothered) Also, weapon generation, which is pretty much one of the main mechanics is ok at best. Melee weapons are mostly okay when it comes to main attacks, but their specials are usually bad, and guns have all mostly the same main attack, but sometimes interesting specials. They should way more uniques in this game, the boss weapons were cool to mess around with. The only good parts were the dungeons, which have mediocre combat but have some more loot and are bigger than towns or other structures, and bosses. I especially loved the Astra Nox fight, it was tough as balls but it was fair, you could probably flawless it with just a bit of focus and it was fast paced compared to the rest of the game (that said, I stopped playing after the Avian temple boss, and everytime I play this game I stop after the first one just because of how boring the quests later are. I think there are like 3 bosses afterwards, I saw them and they looked pretty good but I'll probably never bother) Then you have Terraria, which has a TON of movement options from mounts to wall jumping, sprinting, dashing with a shield, wings, different types of bonus jumps and hovering, teleportation, minecarts and with a mod even rocket jumping, (mostly because unlike Starbound the engine seems to be a lot more simple and less physics oriented) a lot of the weapons feel unique, especially magic spells, the bosses are slightly worse in my opinion but are not pushovers and you can build arenas for them like a proper sandbox, and NPCs are actually worth a damn, while letting you build a house for one in like a minute at most so you don't waste time. Oh, and most importantly progression isn't tied to equipment checks and upgrading your ship by farming a specific item by visiting like 3 different planets, with the exception of maybe Wall of Flesh or Plantera which aren't that bad anyways. (unless they removed those from last time I played) Starbound's prioritisation of content became especially evident to me when they added fossils. What are those even for besides decorations? Why have a whole mini-game dedicated to them? I mean, said mini-game is really cool, but still, why only decorations?

This is pretty much how I feel about the game. There's a million things to do in Starbound, but they all feel so *disconnected* from one another, and they all feel pretty samey. Terraria also has a lot of things to do, but they all kind of build off of one another. In Starbound you're expected to do things for their own sake, while Terraria rewards you for trying to do new stuff. And Terraria is honestly easier to get back into. Yeah, while playing Terraria I never quite felt as immersed as I did in Starbound exploring new planets for the first time, taking in their sheer expanse and the diversity of biomes and structures and people and stuff. But the gameplay itself is just less rewarding. There's less stuff to try out. Starbound may have more content, total, but Terraria has content where it counts.

@Stanky Tree Well that's what I was trying to say I don't like, I don't just want more diversity, I want everything to be more unique and well designed. The general structure of the world, enemies and biomes of Terraria is the same, but it works because every area just is designed well and unique. I play differently when exploring the jungle than when I progress through hell or dungeon. I guess these special attacks could probably improve the enemies (since they usually do nothing in vanilla), but it could also become as unpolished as the random weapon generation. Even if it works, that's only one of the many core elements of the game that need tweaking like or weapons, or just overhauled all together. (Like the dash gadgets or sidequests)

Frackin' universe. Just download that mod. It changes everything. Just download it

So did 1.4 live up or down to your expectations?

Same. And I had some computer glitch that had it have to be reset, so I lost my progress, so I wanted to play again to get where I was, but some glitch caused me to have invincible crewmates, which ruined the experience for me, so a few characters and bug fix attempts later, I'm playing again, but I just feel like it's lost that initial magic...

An other thing why i stoped playing starbound because there are no mods like thorium or calamity mod just some races or new weapins but no special bosses or such kind. Hope you find it the same 👍

What got me back into Starbound was the Hardcore series PBG and co. did. Too bad I couldn't transfer my old save to my laptop. If anyone has any suggestions to give me about save transferring, feel free to do that.

"Well that's just like your opinion man." I agree completely. I wish they had a few choices in the story that could change the outcome of the story or something. Like if they added factions and you could decide who to side with or just go against all of them. It would be a cool game to have a branching storyline rather than linear.

Install Frackin Universe mod. It adds like 3000 new mechanics missions, tiles, craftings ETC. The "main story" becomes pretty.... Meh, in comparison to what the mod offers.

Hi chippy! They released the bounty hunter update, along with a new endgame boss.

I’ve just started the game 2 years later and the story is definitely very prevalent but it’s also literally just space terraria. Like there’s nothing to stop you from just building houses on worlds you go to and upgrading your ship and just wandering the galaxy. And the bounty system does give you some stuff to do too it’s really fun.
