I am having so much fun with this one. The systems are super polished and everything feels so smooth. If you are into platformers and somehow missed this one too, watch me play for a bit. It seems to have everything.

If you have any pointers that aren’t blatant spoilers, I would love to hear them. Thanks in advanced.

    Ah yes, the game that gutted itself before fully releasing, removing a lot of content and than basically abandoning it

    And that isnt even all lf it

    Don’t threaten me with a good time. One of my fave games. My biggest issue my first play was for some reason when making mods, one really important one was meant to unlock after creating the previous one and it didn’t for me. So keep an eye out and google if you feel that happened to you too. Edit: If that does happen, just remake the mod that should unlock the next one. Easy fix.

    Personally I enjoyed the game the most taking it slow and exploring and collecting a lot. There’s lots of cool weapons and armour types to try.
    Cans of food from the first store are expensive, but not expiring makes having 1 or 2 on you at all times really useful.

    I found it easier to build a base on my ship for a large part of the game, but if you mod it can get crowded with benches. Always easy to quickly repair and build and store on your own ship. Base building on a nice planet isn’t bad at all though. Although much later is a very fun third type of place to build a base (But filling it a lot did lag my game a lot).

    One of the biggest mod packs Frackin Universe adds a ridiculous amount of content to the game, although some can be buggy. Lots of fun new weapons, mechanics, races, all sorts. Would definitely recommend trying it out. Another is the Elithian Races mod. A few very cool races (Trinks are so good because they don’t require food/don’t require much food can’t remember) and gives those races cool story lines and new planets and enemies and all sorts.

    Don’t be afraid to try new races and race mods and try em out, they really can change playstyle and make some things much better.

      Wow, such a thoughtful and useful comment. I had to be carful to avoid spoilers and you were super sensitive to that while still giving great advice. Bravo and thank you.

    I used to play it a little bit. I was playing so much Terraria and this one seemed super fun too, but after a while it just wasn’t clicking as much to keep getting me to come back and play more.

    Supported this game on Kickstarter and it was my first Steam game ever. Couldn’t really get into it after release and then I heard of all the problems the game had in the end.

    I drank so much soda that one steam summer sale. Like bought thousands and left my game on while I was at work drank soda. Good times.

    Starbound always gets negatively compared to terraria, but I always liked SB’s building better. Setting up a ship, fitting it with crew farmed from apartment complexes plopped down on planets, setting up farms, etc.
