Starbound General Discussion

looks good

 

looks awesome

 

"Terraria got abandoned. Devs promised they will keep working on starbound after release''
This made me chuckle, since the terraria devs promised this as well. (I don't count the small update or two after release as 'keep working' and the big update coming soon is two years after release)

I liked terraria, and will definitely buy this game as well. The lack of end-game and randomness in terraria killed it after the first playthrough, so starbound will keep me interested.

 

Hmmm...Maybe............maybe

 

I won an alpha key in a raffle and ever since followed the development a bit each week. They promise a lot of content (taming, breeding, farming, fishing), but I hope each part will have enough depth. Randomized planets and to some degree random loot is what i look forward to. Really want this game to succeed.

Meanwhile, terraria 1.2 coming late this month, or early august, with over 1000+ new items and new biomes.

 

Sooo, everybody will wait until christmas sales?

 

I got the Gold Tier.
Game runs great and there is a lot of stuff to go through.

 

Anyone wanna share on a 4-pack? I'd buy one for hateist and myself.

E: Fuck it, bought it.

 

Would be interested in sharing a 4-pack. Not paid anyone directly like this before though.

Edit: Thank you Harvey!

 

Damnit, i really want to buy this but my visa isn't working for some reason, i also missed out on the autumn sales and probably will miss out on the christmas sales too because of the damned timing of this problem.

 

Ask support why it isn't working

 

If anyone knows how to get meat, I'd greatly appreciate the tip.

Welcome to my crib

 

you get meat from monsters, they will also drop leather

 

Yeah, I know except I killed like 50 monsters and all they dropped was money.

 

I've not played the game at all but i think you need to use a bow.

 

Also tried that, problem with bow is, you can't kill any creatures with only the bow. You do like 10% damage even to the weakest, while they just ram you and kill you in 3 hits.
I tried landing the killing blow with arrows, even managed to kill some weakling in 15 shots and surviving but still no meat.

Now I'm farming banana.

 

Got to use the hunting bow for meat, (upgraded versions are available later that I would guess do more damage). If you just need the food though for hunger, you can always hoe some ground and plant some stuff. I've found that you can kite some enemies and some will get stuck or will be unable to reach you.

I'm still trying to work out how I can heal myself as I need pixels (which you lose a good chunk of on death) to progress with the story.

Found a double jump upgrade very early on which is nice, also helps with the enemy kiting, though some enemies jump all over the place.

Oh, and scan all your seeds in your ship, they cost 1 pixel each to produce.
