Starbound Megathread - Version 1.3.2

[The Murderous Cop]

apparently starbound just decided that both my character and ship were corrupted so I lost a bit of work :I

try restoring to a .bak file

it makes like 3 of them, .bak1, .bak2, and .bak3

[Ad Bot]

[Spartan923]

oh yeah I did that, but I still ended up lose a few hours of work
mostly lost a good amount of crafting materials but Ill deal with it

[Flatflyer]

no way i'm not doing this

1. nice
2. why arent you wearing any pants

[Spartan923]

oh, well stuff, well whatever backup I used for my universe, its pretty much a brand new one now
... I guess its also a good thing I didnt build anything

[Frequency]

are there any mods that turn the game back into a sandbox without the forced story stuff?

i thought this game was going to be "explore a bunch of planets, build some stuff, have fun" but from what i've heard they force way too much story stuff on you

[Torin]

what do you do after you beat the main story
my friend keeps wanting me to play more with him but i dont have much motivation after i finished my house

I just wish I could get to that sooner than later

[Spartan923]

am I missing something about the 'story'
Like you dont have to do any of it, you dont get anything too special from doing it either
like you have the bit in the beginning where you repair your ship and then you talk to people in the outpost to unlock the stores, what else?

I haven't played the game yet but I would guess that the while idea is that you do the story because you want to?

[Ayxrion]

i honestly do story quests as sort of like a side quest - i complete it when all the sudden i've gotten all the clues.
i explore around and do whatever tf i want to do, but after finding the settlement i need i'll just scan all of it, but i won't rush and find all the clues in one go.

[Tudoreleu]

yeah, the story's like entirely optional apart from the beginning, i really don't get how you're seeing it as forced

[EnjoyedBen2002]

Originally I thought the Ursa Miner sold mining equipment, not the material itself.
Wish I knew that on my first run. (Check text for Floran iirc said nothing about that)

what are talking about? the game doesn't force you through the story anymore like it used to

the only thing I can see being forced is your erchius drive repairing which hinders you from going to higher tier planets, but that's literally it you don't need to do any of the scanning missions if you don't want to and it's quickly done
