Something I'm working on...
Maybe it's a race...

Camera helped with the neck and head details.

for a second the nose holes looked like eyes and it looked like the part between the white and red was the mouth (it looked like a :[ face) and it was kinda hilarious thinking of it like that.

Is it worth it to re-install starbound?

It's a fun game. The devs are a bit crappy but hey, that doesn't mean their game is stuff. See: Fez (At least in my opinion that isn't a crappy game)

Nothing extraordinarily fancy coming from the Devblog at the moment (Currently only a few Devs keeping up with their daily posts (although they miss some days) and they're all working on things they don't want to reveal just yet, or it's a lot of coding that goes right over my head).

The Moonbase mission and others are apparantly coming along nicely, but they're hesitant to give out too much for these, since they want it to be a surprise.
The Moonbase and other missions (which have set purposes, such as getting you upgrades to your ship among other things) are some of the only things not randomised, so they have a design, path and enemies which are set in stone, hence the Devs not wanting to give too much away.


There's also been some fancy work going on with lighting, to make flickering lights more realistic and also less demanding for computers.
They're also now getting set up so that the flickering of different lights matches the animations of that light. Game should look prettier.

I want more set in stone places please yes

[ChappersTeddy]

If I ever get this game I feel like making my character an Apex and calling him Ken Kong or something stupid.

kind of i guess lol, from what i know about this game's apex race you can make it have like purple hair

A few little more teasers for another mission.




This mission is the "Floran Mission".

There ought to be a few, and apparantly the devs have been working hard to come up with plenty of ideas and edit the game to fit those ideas.

So far they've been happy to announce and hint at the following permanent locations;
The Gate (that large archway on the asteroid, with all the faces of the playable races)
The Outpost (A permanent hub space station where players can pick up quests, missions, trade and build. NPCs you meet throughout the game have chances of arriving at the station as a resident, it seems)
The Lunar Base mission (This is the mission they've shown the most of, and is set on an abandoned lunar base, as the name implies)
Human mission
Apex mission
Floran mission
Hylotl mission
Avian mission
Glitch mission
Novakid mission (presumably, but I'm not sure if I've seen this confirmed)


Then hopefully after that they'll stick a few more in that are related to non-race things, like the Lunar Base mission.
While not confirmed, it would also be quite likely that the Racial missions will reveal the mystery backstories of the playable races.
While other missions ought to provide thing like upgrades to ship size/engine ability, requirements for creating environment based equipment (such as oxygen tanks and spacesuits for going to moons and asteroid planets), as well as upgrades for the Outpost.

What I don't know about missions though is if the loot is randomised at all.
Obviously the locations, layout, enemies and reward are the same, but I've no idea about any lootable weapons/clothes/items you might find.
