Starbound Megathread - Version 1.3.2

[Qwepir]

So exactly what happened? I'm not too in-the-know here, so who's Omni? Why did he ban himself?

What?

Apparently he had a meltdown and banned a bunch of people on the SB forums and reddit fansite for valid criticisms of the game.

I didn't realize how bad things were on the development end until some people were talking about it elsewhere a few days ago and I was directed to /sbg/ for more information

This era of early access in video gaming is terrible

Tell me about it, the more you get interested in an early access game's development, the more you wish you weren't.

Holy crap.

[SquartleTurtle]

if this game crashes and burns (kinda happening right now) they better give out refunds

You can opt in for nightly builds now.

So basically Omni threw a job out the window.

The starbound devs are talented people, its just too bad that they're short tempered jerks.

I personally know what of the dev members and he's a pretty chill guy. Not sure about the rest of them.

Who needs inhabitants anyway

Glass roof :y

Who needs inhabitants anyway

because its sort of fun to try to keep them alive

Glass roof :y

that would be hideously ugly and theyd probably spawn under it anyway

We decided to just make watchtowers and put the turrets at the top at an angle they cant shoot the villagers. Sort of works except sometimes when a bird gets shot it drops down and stays alive and then tries murdering people again. We had some guard NPCs but they were so abysmally worthless that two of them got killed by one bird and we decided to stop wasting resources on them.

The shackles are wired to open the door so they cant wander out of town and get killed. I'd make it a different thing but I can't find any medieval-themed buttons or switches
