Should I rather download a bunch of mods to make the game fun or should I just download earlier builds of the game. Also; which mods/build?

Such a shame what they did witj this game. It's so beautiful and has so much potential.

I really don't know.
Does anyone know if there have been any attempts at making a canned adventure mod like pic related? I'd imagine you could make a pretty good one in Starbound. Might have to put a lot of work into custom bosses and items, though.

just play terraria. thinking about starbound makes me sad.

Download Frackin' Universe, weapon stats, instant crafting. There was also a mod that makes movement less floaty but I don't remember the name.

Frackin Universe is usually to 'go-to' mod I saw recommended, but I was never fond of it. Just felt like more bloat and kinda shitty compared to those massive Terraria mods.

I'd just go through the website and download what you think looks good or interesting, and A.V.I.A.N, because she's cute.

is this worth it or should i wait for the next terraria update? i never played starbound

the story was quite funny tho
>Blue and Tiyrl(?) was just the spriter and the community manager of terraria
>broke off to make a copy of their own, generated huge amount of hype
>failed in every aspects, and its clear that those guys were just the one behind terraria asset (which was bascially a FF rip-off), while Red was the head and the leader
>Red hired more competent devs and silently drop the bombs that were Terraria 1.2 and 1.3
And then Underworld happen, but i'd blame that on the incompetent of the other des they hired

just pirate it and see if you like it. it's a huge let down though i wouldn't advise you to buy it.

Starbound is prettier Terraria, and just that
>worse exploration
>less content
>weird combat and bad bosses
>that fucking mess of a "story"
at least building is pretty comfy

The only good thing in Starbound are the lewd mods.

Just listen to the ost while playing something else.

I got this game recently and just started playing. It seems good. What's bad about it? How did they ruin it?

Just play alpha or beta

Each race had their own story originally and that scrapped for the one you have now.

I didn't buy into the crowdfunding phase but apparently the combat was overhauls to be a lot worse during development.

sexbound is a good one.

gives you fapping material while thinking on what next planet to make a base on next.

There’s really not much fun to do outside of upgrade your ship, build and explore. But that’s not a big problem, as it does those sufficiently well. It’s mostly just Yea Forums contrarianism.

a ton of cut content

I could never get through how each planet in Starbound is an empty, worthless copy pasted husk with nothing rewarding to offer to you
After trying it I reinstalled Terraria, threw some mods (because I already have too many hours on vanilla) and remembered why it is such a good game. I get immensely rewarded no matter what I do. Fishing for the angler? Here, have some insane gear. Killing bosses? Here, some rare weapons. Exploring caves? Here, some chests with rare loot. Building? Here, have some new NPCs. The game is not afraid of handing out good stuff because it has so much content.

Just uninstall it, it never gets good.

Are there bosses and progression like in Terraria? Are they good if so?

It's barebones like everything else in this shit game. If you want sprite sex go play an actual porn game instead, if this shit mod and its 6 different animations are enough to get you going, some of the shit you'll find out there will blow your mind.

Last time I played it involved spending dozens of hours grinding resources like iron in order to build the boss summoning item.
Then I played some time later and the boss was some shitty hardcoded quest event.
In neither cases did I get anything rewarding other than some shitty "core" item that allows you to progress to new types of planets that are just the same copypaste as the previous ones

Once you've completed the main objective, the game will give you access to a pre-made shitty dungeon with a shitty boss at the end.

I'll just copy and paste what I wrote in the last thread.
Firstly, yeah. Get a bunch of mods, try out vanilla's first few quests and then see what you want fixed and what you don't.
There's several that I can think of. You'll have to combine a few and see what suits you the best. For me personally it was the combination of several weapon mods, quest skipping mods, recourse mods that did it for me. Try the Sandbox mod if the story mode is too garbage to play through for you. Choosing mods is really up to personal preference. There's Fracking Universe but it's incompatible with a lot of other mods. Personally I wish there was a mod that added Space Pirate attacks and far more customisable space stations and spaceships.

It might just be me, but the Ninja mod I found and used makes me feel like I am in a silly 80s Ninja Action movie in Space and it's fucking amazing. I am basically flying across planets with a fucking scythe swinging around me to let me float in the air whilst throwing Shurikens all over the place and attacking people with Nunchakus. It's fucking great and it basically fixed the game for me. Pic related.

The game was much more sandboxy in the early access builds. You had much more freedom and there was much more content. Then they cut that content and implemented some forced rpg elements and a story on to it which madd the game pretty linear and bland, two properties a sandbox game shouldn't have

Its just too broken. I wished it was good but user, Ive been here since beta. Its just not a good game. I wished with all my heart it was but it just isnt.

God, fuck Tiyuri. Fuck the devs. Fuck that idiot Supernorn who didnt even fucking finish his ss14 and then crammed in a fucking HONK mech. Fuck the shitty worthless and useless goddamn sspace stations. Fuck the multiplayer community and fuck Tiyuri again.

FUCK THE MEDIA

Any good sci-fi anthro ones? That's the main draw to starbound for me.

I HAVE A DREAM!

THAT ONE DAY EVERY PLAYER CAN CONTROL HIS OWN GAME! A FULLY MODDABLE VIDYA, DAMMIT! A GAME OF ACTION, NOT SIDEQUESTS, MADE BY PLAYERS, NOT TIYURI! WHERE THE QUESTLINE IS CHANGED TO SUIT THE INDIVIDUAL, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!

WHERE TITTY MODS AND OVERHAULS ARE BACK WHERE THEY BELONG! IN THE HANDS OF THE PLAYERS! WHERE EVERY PLAYER IS IS FREE TO MOD - TO WANK- FOR HIMSELF!

FUCK ALL THESE LIMP-DICKED GAME DESIGNERS AND CHICKENSHIT MODERATORS. FUCK THE 24 HOUR SPEW OF HYLOTL PRIDE AND FRIENDLY LORE. FUCK ERP PRIDE. FUCK TIYURI. FUCK ALL OF IT.

CHUCKLEFISH IS DESEASED. ROTTEN TO THE CORE. There is no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN.

AND FROM THE ASHES A NEW STARBOUND WILL BE BORN. EVOLVED, BUT UNTAMMED! The roleplayers will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to play as they see fit. They''ll make STARBOUND GREAT AGAIN!

In my new Starbound, players will die and kill for what they BELIEVE IN! Not for upvotes, not for (You)'s! Not for what the designer say is right. EVERY PLAYER WILL BE FREE TO MAKE HIS OWN GAME!

Windowlicker here, how can I download earlier builds of the game? I actually enjoyed some of them, at least more than what they decided for release.

Based. This is what is truly needed.

This. I am asking the same thing.

I can't get into Terraria. The combat in Starbound feels way better to me. Wish my friends would play it

This. Bump

Why not both? Theres a few mods that bring back things from the older builds.

Honestly, I think they fucked up the modding bith with the liquid/material ID system.
Now, there's a finite number of ID's in the game, and if some Liquid/material has the same ID as another, the game either crashes or confuses the liquids/materials.
And with most ID's claimed by other modders, you'äre going to step on some toes eventually and even trying to fix it for some will inevitably break it for others for the same reason.

There are a few. Cyberspace Sandbox has a side quest associated involving hacking into Terramart accounts, and there's one mod which is also a part of FU which adds a pile of quest missions, with ample hidden paths.
And Delusive Dimensions has a nice roguelite styling to it's addition.

How the hell did you get budget?

Basically to simply play Trashbound you NEED the following:

Get on the steam workshop
Search "optimize"
Install ALL the performance mods
>CPU thread increase
>Parallax fix
>Particle fix
>PNG fix
>community patch bug fixes
This will raise your frame rate from 1-10 to 40-165
>hurr it wreks on my machine
Fuck you this game runs like shit on ANY pc because is cpu bound and every fucking thing emits a shit ton of crappy particle effects.

Now DONT play just yet. Vanilla gameplay is dogshit with no reason to build anything since you will never be on any 1 planet for more than the 5 mins it takes to kill 1-4 NPCs

Also install the following:
>character extender
>frackin universe
>aged alcohol
>enhanced storage
>food stacks
>beta turrets
>portable teleporter

Now you have a game in which you have to build a galactic mineral mining/mass production empire...or just become a space bee keeper.

Optional mods:
>Dat furry shit you like.

Frackin, Eltherian races and whatever QoL mods you want. MAXIMUM DEEP CONTENT.

I'm rocking a War Angel Chainsword build with a battledroid flying-scooter thing from Phantom menace. Gearing up for the Delta Freya madhouse.

Bump. I am interested too.

I WANNA LICK A HYLOTL'S SALTY SHITTER

I didn't check yet but can you get the steam mods without buying the game?

You don't
You just use the legacy pack of mods to restore all the cut content. Its not even hard to find on the workshop. Im not even going to link it.

So there's no actual beta builds available online to find? That fucking sucks.

Most will have mirror links on github/dropbox if you check the cucklfish forum
