Yes I remember playing this game since an early alpha. But it’s all so empty and sometimes feels pointless to wonder around a new planet. Btw Chucklefish made the game with unpaid child labor… I eventually returned to Terraria.

Where’d you find that info?

I really had no idea. Don’t want to get downvoted to oblivion for this, but this kind of stuff doesn’t erode my joy of the game, or make building my cute lil pixel homes any less fun and rewarding.

These days, in general, there’s lots of looking down / belligerent beratement of people who like things that were incidentally made by shitstorms. Sorry in advance I suppose.

bionicjoey,

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the game in its current state, I did too from time to time before it was totally abandoned. But don’t be surprised if you have trouble finding other people who want to join a community to talk about this abandoned game. I really wish a spiritual successor to Starbound could be created by another studio but as of right now it only exists in this bland and broken state with the awful forced story layered on top.

Since Lemmy is filling the slot Reddit has left behind, I’m just trying to find the people who have jumped ship from there, where the SB subreddit is quite active. 🤷🏼‍♀️

cybervseas,

I used to be. With all of Chucklefish’s weirdness around its development, it’s hard to enjoy the game as much…

Have you tried any mods at all? There are so many, they really make it great! I didn’t start playing until after they had already abandoned it :( so I don’t know anything about their weirdness …

TwilightVulpine,

I played it a lot vanilla but I have been hesitant to try some of the bigger mods because I hear a bit too hardcore for my liking. I wish the game was more fleshed out, but I don’t want it to be a constant struggle.

I agree that most the added mods are too much – I absolutely do not recommend Frackin’ Universe, for example.

Buuuuut I have a small collection here that I enjoyed when I first started playing 2 ish years ago: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=27…. Not too extensive!!
