What went so,so wrong?

It's next to impossible to fuck NPCs on furniture because they never use it

and of that 10%, the majority of the work was fucking around making more and more pixel art with the same fucking functionality as the last hundred furniture items of the same type

I'd love to see a starbound/terraria style game but with smelting taking actual time, with automation available.

>smelting taking actual time, with automation available
So go play WoW and see how fucking dull that gets when you've put some effort into finding ore

Why was there only a single dungeon/village design for each race? These fuckers were so god damn fucking lazy they couldn't even spend a single hour making new dungeons for each planet type?

Devs focused all their efforts into making the game cute instead of making it fun. They knew modders would pick up the rest of the slack.

Its because every fucking sandbox-spacedev takes Star trek as an inspiration, They can't look past it. I'm not saying its a bad thing to make something inspired by it but god damn at least innovate a little.
Realistically, Space would be more akin to the wild west. You're incomprehensibly far from large scale civilization, The law and anyone with minimal medical knowledge can't find you. Towns are rickety 7 building messes where the inhabitants can't fend for themselves and need someone with actual expertise to help them incase of a lawless Son-of-a-bitch decides that today's a good day to die. And god help you if you accidentally get stranded in the middle of nowhere with no map, since the elements will take you faster than anyone could find you.
Plus, People don't understand the brutality of space. Magnetars can rip out the iron from your blood, Kessler syndrome can rip your space craft into shreds if you get into a particularly "dirty" orbit, And there's always the once in a literal lifetime chance that a Gamma ray burst can collide directly with you. Its terrifying, really.

Realistically, space would be populated by groups prepared well in advance to live there, precisely because every settlement would have to be self sufficient from the start

So cut the "muh realism" crap when you're arguing for a world where space travel can be done by any group of idiots who think it sounds like a lark.

Coming onto Yea Forums or having the hugbox come on Yea Forums in an effort to attempt to damage control / change opinions.

And then the updates, trying to please Yea Forums and their hug box they had, what, 3 different versions of the game you could play at one point? Test, Unstable, Stable?

The hug. box. forums.

When they were going to stop associating with the guy who made the first big gun mod, when he outed them by showing people the contract they wanted him to sign. Said contract would have made the mod their property and if they wanted to add it to the game as a feature, credit or even payment free, they could. I kinda stopped paying attention around then

>the guy who made the first big gun mod
oh shit i remember that
i thought i dreamt that up or something

I always immediately start playing games with mods and pointless bloat as well

Oh speaking of the hugbox forums, did you know they had a secret section that only goons could post on where they talked shit about everyone else on the forum?

Is it compatible with the vore mod?

yes but that mod sucks so why bother?

Not so sure, though the creator is hinting at incorporating vore in the next update, methinks.

It was hyped as being a superior replacement to Terraria. When they finally did release it for people to play, everyone quickly learned it was boring, empty and lifeless. Not even the latest updates fixed some of its fundamental problems. What is infinite planets when they will use prefab settlements and dungeons? What is NPC radiant quests when they are all generic and offer generic randomized reward? Not even mods could address the emptiness of this "infinite" game. It's like No Man's Sky. You essentially have played the game without really having to delve so much into many planets. There are only a tiny number of characters and they are hollow. The mods horizontally expand the game's problems rather than fix them. Fracking Universe is shit.

It just a shame there's no good alternative to how you play frackin. too many quests

>spoiler
You know what, if he does that and manages to make it interactive, then it might as well replace the current one for everybody except the most hardcore of furfags who need their OCs in the mod like the current one has.

Most of what little content you could find is so lame and lukewarm that even when you did find "anything" it was fucking nothing. Finding something interesting was outright impossible.
Every planet should have been as dense and content-packed as a Terraria world, with multiple biomes on a single planet.

there's nothing fucking in them. there's not a single piece of uniquity below the paper thin surface of any location in starbound. there's is no significant progressive hurdle in starbound whatsoever, at any point

>Try again
So (you) can dismiss everything I said again without even reading it? No, I don't think I will. Take your meds.

Starbound being shit and Starbound being better than Terraria are not mutually exclusive statements.
Back. Your. Shit.

Thanks for agreeing with me lol

hypocrite

Keep the random generation but flesh it out with lots of unique by-biome mini-dungeons, structures, loot, etc
Scrap the shitty story and replace it with a separate storyline based on your character's race, it wouldn't be necessary to do to progress but you could learn more about your race's lore through it
Keep that one guy on who made a shitload of gun variants, have the existing power bar used for energy weapons but also add normal bullet guns that use different types of ammo with reload speeds and firing modes
Personal energy shielding replaces your armor for most of your combat purposes, armor provides defense when your shield is down but is mostly used for environmental protection ie heat/cold/radiation
Monsters and bosses get redesigned with better attack variety, add lots more biome-specific static monsters and minibosses, randomly generated monsters still exist but become the minority rather than the majority, often found in Apex labs as experiments or on planets with heavy Apex presence as escaped experiments
ship customization as a base feature, with racial-specific parts if you want to make a ship befitting your race
Basically just increase the gameplay variety by a fuckload and improve the combat

By your logic, you are the one that needs to explain himself. Where are your arguments?

I'm not OP though. Let me refresh your goldfish memory: I've made no statements.

>there are multiple biomes on a single planet
No there are not. Every planet is a single Desert or Temperate or Flesh or Swamp or Whatever for the entire length around.
Nobody wants to dig through the mostly nothing ground at random with the hope of finding some goo plant biome with nothing except a single treasure chest in it containing a few Flares and 18 Pixels, all the while having forty different colors of Dirt filling up their inventory on the way down.

>Every
Not every. Some planets have a single other biome on the surface, like Tar in Desert planets, which may or may not be there after 10 minutes of walking in a single direction, and may or may not have a chest with shitty throwing weapons and the same blueprint for the Tar bed you found last time you found a Tar biome.

I think multiple storylines based on every race would be a bit too much. Instead of the horrible fucking one we got it should be about a total war between Human and Apex over territory disputes and the ship you play on jumps right into a vicious space battle between the two taking damage and crashing on habital planet below.

>would be a bit too much
and you'd be right, because chucklefuck dev team was just artists and ideasguys with only one person doing actual programming

I just don't see how every individual story for every race would really play out, would probably be better to just condense it but not a shitty way like Chucklefuck did being power rangers finding the Chaos emeralds to stop the hentai tentacle monster. Galaxy at war would be so much better.

>What was expected
Terraria but in SPESS
>What was made
An incredibly bland game with no real direction in spite of effectively being a sandbox.

It'll start innocently but it mainly distills down into a more repetitive loop that doesn't change.

Same as all procedurally generated sandbox games, adding a fucking ending is retarded. A main story means the game can be completed, which is completely counter intuitive to a genre attempting to be open and infinite in scope. Once you complete a game, you lose the urge to replay it because of the concept and feeling inherent in the word "complete", "finish". This along with creating the game to ride on the success of Terraria reveals that the devs have no soul which is why it was sub-par, art can not be created by someone who seeks the material, something as base as wealth, can never make a good game.

No shit, but seriously. Should I pick up /the/ and add them to scifi campaigns? Start writing? Maybe lern tu code and make mods or something.

Added a story element to the game which was filled with tutorials, basically removing the element of surprise and exploration from the game completely.

Does not seem like a different breed to me. Also are you autistic? Do you realize sarcasm is not exactly suited for written text.

>Do you realize sarcasm is not exactly suited for written text.
If "it's not suspicious in the slightest" wasn't enough to tip you off then you're beyond help.

Kinda, yes.

Character sprites look like total ass.
Most cosmetics you find are meme shit.
Species have insanely negligible differences, aside from having entirely different ships meaning that if a species you like has a type of ship you don't like you're SOL because you don't actually get to choose your ship or customize the layout in any way (unless you mod but we're talking about the base game).
Weapon system is your standard "infinite weapons!!!" dogshit where there's very little actual variety and anything you find lying around is going to be objectively superior to anything you can craft.
Uses a shared "energy" system for movement options, "science magic", gun ammo, and melee special attacks which is just awful design.
The majority of the story is just mindlessly scanning planets for pregenerated buildings and zipping through them to scan shit, with the missions generally being bland as fuck with pretty mediocre bosses.
Side quests given by NPCs are either fetch quests for basic resources or escort missions. That's it.
Mechs are completely arbitrary and dont actually add anything to the game, if not making the game worse because for whatever reason enemies in space and enemies on the planet have entirely different health scales so even the starter mech weaponry is capable of absolutely destroying any non-space enemy in the game, with further mech weaponry making any opposition an absolute joke.
Also space enemy variety is pretty sparse for how much you have to fucking grind for mech parts. Trying to craft mech parts is outrageously tedious for how little it actually adds to the game.
NPC ship encounters via the mech are completely identical and boring as fuck.
NPC space stations are also identical and the supplies trading is completely pointless given how much more money you make just by raiding a planet and selling what you find.
Player-made space stations cost an absurd amount of resources and are pointlessly restrictive.
And so much more, but Im out of room.

Are you the Starbound equivalent of the Terraria guy who has the game open in multiple windows and writes a story for all his characters and then runs them simultaneously to have them all in one world?

The main selling point of the game, massive universe to explore, is the main problem I and many others have with the game. Planets are just pit stops to acquire resources and forget in short time. They should've made the game take place in one star system with evolving colonies and frequent invasions, thereby incentivizing the creation of fortresses and space ports. As of now the only reason to build a fancy base is purely for aesthetics.

I could be proven wrong, I am just hoping the puppy isn't actually fucking dead because that would put me in a living state of comatose rage.

He's definitely dead. They probably tossed his body to some park at midnight too.

Again, he could've been given away or maybe one of the team members liked that dog so much that they decided to adopt him instead of making him the mascot, who knows?
I hate Chucklefuck, but this idea of a dead neglected puppy would make me ask the Pope to form a Crusade against them.

If one of the team members took him they would still put out pics of the puppy on their social media and If he was given away they would announce that they had to give away their mascot. Instead we got this puppy that got memory holed. The only thing that makes sense is that these indie assholes killed that dog and given that this game heavily panders to furries I hope they just killed him.

>every lava planet has some dipshit community with wooden buildings that immediately start burning down as soon as you arrive

Nothing today will quite match the impotent rage of /sbg/ when Starbound was in “beta,” it was a good time.

There was some good porn of their community manager (molly?), sadly I wished I saved it.

Temperature mechanics are easily the most notable, it was in the earliest beta builds. Racial stat bonuses were scrapped but this was supposedly more due to their shitty forum community who wanted them to be equal, and proper gun mechanics were another thing planned but never added.

You'll see what user linked had a lot of older progression items, which is more of a product of the devs having problems sussing out a progression system. They spent way too much time dicking about doing that.

>Poison atmosphere
>Native life forms are not resistant to poison in any way, they just walk around ticking damage until they drop

I agree with you that that's the most likely scenario, but if the puppy died would they really get another one? No one with any semblance of responsibility would do that. And of course the obvious response to my post is "well it's chucklefish they have no semblance of responsibility" but that's beyond even them.

Lag.
Stuttering when 2+ enemies are on screen is kinda silly.

>No one with any semblance of responsibility
Would let a puppy die in an office in the first place

Animals die, user. Even humans die for stupid reasons out of nowhere. It is a fact of life. This is especially true when an animal has no one owner solely responsible for it, like a conventional pet, but rather a group of people, such as a corporation's mascot. All sorts of things can happen to that animal.

Which responsible people would not let happen. Nothing stopping irresponsible people from getting pets, or accidentally killing them, or getting a new pet

Any screenshots?

thanks for the suggestions already enjoying myself infinitely more with these games than Starbound.
I hear No Man's Sky has gotten better is it worth it yet? I thought they had another update in the works

FU's developer? From what I can tell the guy is blunt as heck and liable to blame you for whatever problem you're having, but at the same time it's often like an IT scenario where the person complaining legit forgot to plug in their computer.

There are some issues that you'd consider bad design. He recently added a new item for crafting and I had to check the github to find where to craft it, and the tutorial is like fifty quests just to cover the basics.

But come on, he's definitely not like a Fabsol bitch. I'm not even 100% sure Fabsol even does any real coding or implementation. Fabsol seems more like the retarded ideas guy killing his own project with bloat and bugs.

I have talked to him several times. He's really blunt, yeah,.but he's also a decent fellow. He changed and added things according to the feedback comments. That's already better than most Mount and blade modders.

all in all i got a few hundred hours out of it. enjoyed it for what it was. if anything went wrong in my opinion, it's that they forgot to make the sandbox part more interesting, and extremely unchallenging

The biggest problem was that they removed all the main features That modders improved and expanded on. There was a mega man mod, star wars mod, DBZ mod, Metal slugmod, RPG growth mod, Riddick mod...
Most of these lost features or got outdated Because the devs left them to rot. Even if the game was barebones, it would still work. But it's not. It's less than that with no room to actual improvement.Hell, Even adding an animation, it's hard as fuck.

>furniture variety is really cool
It's been like two years since I last played but didn't they remove like a shit ton of furniture?
Like the ore related ones?

yes

The FU dev, Saytr, is a complete twat.

Seriously, this guy is a grade-a chucklefuck. I wouldn't be surprised if he was Indian tier the way he embraces micro-updates. No shit people are going to complain when you're on this development implementation. Oh and his magnum opus is adding a Lovecraft-ian story to Starbound. Gee, how original.

A lot of status effects would be nice. You are in a frozen planet? add a status effect animation where you become a block of ice,Or a block of stone or a burning guy with flames all around you, Or mushrooms start popping from your head Or whatever you want to add.

Why not add bot augmentations And body modifications with some drawbacks. It's the future.

Why not have invasions and catastrophes that you can generate or enable? every planet is the same. All the planets have trees and mobs. you never dig too deep. You never piss off the natives. You never get invaded by space raiders or tentacular panspermia. Nothing ever happens, and it's boring. Your world is never threatened. Your ship is never threatened. you don't have death star corridors to explore on your ship, Or many geniuses trying to take over the world with an army of robots. Or climate change causing the world to give you a big fuck you.

Finally. mobs are boring. You'll never find someone always hunting you. or stalking. or buried underground. You never find A creature that hates light or that likes it.You'll never find any cosmic horror that truly fucks with you in a non literal sense.

And grinding is terrible. Going to a different place is not going to a different place. It's going to the same place and having to farm Because they one-shot you.

It still hurts. It will never be OK to talk about this.

I'd probably start by improving map generation. It's not something you notice if it's working well, but a bad terrain generation algorithm can ruin any procedural game.

It still baffles me how a game with so many promises and cut content still managed to an unrepeatable masterpiece. Imagine if they did deliver it with all the missing phases and whatnot.

Never even heard of it. Shill it to me, user.

Making it easy to implement animations.
Creating retard proof dev tools. Imagine you create an item or a monster or a mission, or a dungeon and can easily uploaded to steam. Then you simply have to Subscribe to it and it will appear in any biome you wish. Now imagine you can easily edit monster behavior and skills, including your own. I would create the warcraft 3 editor of 2d platformers.

There you go, unlimited content.

>Office pet
How would you even get any work done with a dog running around.

What does FU actually add, when a friend asked me to buy starbound so we could play together he told me to install FU and a bunch of other shit, so I've never actually played without it.

Don't worry user, the puppy's living on a big farm now and she's very happy.

>Since you got it for free you might as well check it out since i costed you nothing to obtain. Be warned that it's not that good as a base game and a few mods will improve the experience.
There is that better phrasing for that statement for you faggot?

Is there a bigger faggot then Cozur ? I remember dude got so salty that nobody liked the retarded stumble mechanic that he removed an option of disabling it.

They embezzled their kickstarter funds to become an indie publisher instead. After they were a success they knew the least profitable thing they could do is use that money to actually make a good game.

Man, it adds...

Well it makes Starbound an actual game, for one. Like with gear progression and stuff? And dungeons? And just all kinds of things.

In base Starbound, there's six tiers of equipment and you can finish progression through the game within a few hours on "softcore" mode, or whatever. Just dig down to the center of the tier [x] planet, mine up a bunch of the ore there, craft the next back back, then move on.

Base Starbound's story is just retarded, featuring some cosmic good vs evil nonsense an a villain named "Umbra Nox" who gets her ass obliterated in the second story dungeon. Absolute jobber with no threat potential. Supposedly there's some creature named "The Ruin" that blew up Earth, but afterward does nothing and threatens nothing. The protag quest-giver, Esther, is holding on to the "Master Manipulator", but like an asshole doesn't hand it over until the final mission, and the prep for previous missions is scanning random-ass shit laying around. You scan a Hylotl lamp post, your character says, "An unremarkable lamp post," and Esther says, "Interesting, this supports one of my theories."

What theory, bitch? That the Hylotl have discovered fucking electricity? They're a space-faring civilization!

With FU, all the short-cuts are removed, old content that was taken out for no reason is put back in, there's more tech, and there's more reason to do anything at all. In my opinion Starbound is not playable without Frackin Universe.

Depends on what else you could be spending your time on.
If there's something you want to do, some game you want to play of anime you want to watch, definitely do that instead. If you're just trying to think of something to distract you from the agony that is life, to waste some time and bring you a few hours closer to the sweet release of oblivion, then you might as well play Starbound. It does have some redeeming features. Building houses is kind of fun, even if the game doesn't incentivize it much.

It breaks most multiplayer servers

I don't know about dedicated servers, but I've played multiplayer with it among friends and have had no issues.

How's it break servers?

Most popular servers don't have it and iirc will ban you instantly for having FU because it fucks hardcore with world generation and the like

Don't you mean Moonman?

I miss starting in random planets. having to adapt to different situation every time. The barebones mechanics had this. Now we have to repeat exactly the same over and over in the same safe place.

Well. Yeah. It adds a bunch of new planet types and changes the extremely strict tier rules of stars so that you have to look around for the stuff you want - you know, exploring - instead of just going gentle, radioactive, icy, hot, whatever. Planets also have different ores in FU instead of the tier-specific ore.

I would imagine that logically most vanilla servers are not compatible with mods. I'm not sure how this breaks servers, unless you're pointing out that modding and planet-generation is player-side rather than server-side, in which case it's not really FU's fault that players can fuck up world gen on a dedicated server.

It is (big shock) entirely subjective user. They have certainly added more stuff. In my personal opinion it still suffers from exactly the same problems a lot of people had with it: You can essentially do everything there is to do and see 90% of everything there is to see in one fucking system, in about five you will guaranteed seen 100%.

I don't mind it, but I would be stunned if even one in a thousand players ever got out of the first galaxy. There's not much point.

But it also you can get killed in one hit by the higher tiers. It's not that the monsters get smarter, they're just regular shitters with higher stats. I wish we had proper space battles.

Not like Terraria would let you build anything worthwhile.

Tbh, i was willing to wait and see if they fixed the bugs but the useless nerfs and the sudden decision for chucklefish that Starbound must be baby difficulty with a rose tinted shitheap of a main story really lost my hopes.

The human lore sucks, they fired the main lore writer whose's stories were too adult for those fucks and reused the assets created for it in a botched way.

first Human lore book, We basically became space hippies:

"A United Earth
Many centuries ago the Earth was governed in a seemingly endless tide of shifting hierarchies; empires rose and fell, nations grew to prominence and collapsed, and wary peace was established only to implode. This volatility spanned millennia.

The Earth we know today was forged when Humankind turned to the stars. At this time resources, once scarce, became abundant, and a shift took place: we recognised both our insignificance and our significance within the universe.

Instead of expanding our settlements across the stars, we began to look inward, to strive for balance and a sustainable way of life with the support of newly acquired resources, and to build a solid future for our beloved Earth."

Fact is, with the budget they had they decided the best way to spend it was to move to an office in London of all fucking places, that and the fact they hired a 1:5 ratio of devs to artists. Which is why the game is generally beautiful but has the mechanical depth of a walking simulator.

In the past each race was supposed to have their own unique intro but it was scrapped in favor of everyone being part of the "Protectorate".
Floran

Avian

Some people hated the removal whilst some were okay with it because the intros would describe the character rather than the player character rather than allow for some roleplay. In the past when you chose Floran the game stated you were a vegetarian whilst the the Avian intro stated the player was a atheist.

What in the fucking fuck

It was real, it was released without warning, as a preview for their race intros, and the community backlash was enough to get them to abandon the change

Someone gets it.

ayyy lamu :-DDD

>weren't just a shitty chore
Different food could give you buffs. Like Banana Bread.
And the temperature one was really neat. You had to either make warm clothes or warm yourself at a campfire every minute to cheese it.

>rather than the player character rather than

Godfucking dammit

Phew, at least it was retconned. However, if this is how the devs see Florans... oh god. Why remove the original, super vague introtext?! For fucks sake it was perfect because it left it open to interpretation and roleplay.

Not him but the game has changed enormously since launch. It feels pretty decent to play, especially if you have a nerve for a few chemical elements.

God, Why couldn't they add some sort of faction system at the character creation screen? Like have you pick between 2 racial factions and an obligatory unaffiliated option. It could open up to an actually decent story too, but NOOO WE'RE ALL JUST HAMFISTED INTO THE SPACE HIPPIES FUCK.

But user, how will the players connect with them if they aren't exactly like humans?!

I much preferred finding out the story through finding books and examining furniture and items. If you didn't inspect every piece of decor you found you played the game wrong

the devs just didn't know what the fuck they were making and it's just a mishmash of shit, the game world feels disjointed and unimmersive. There was far too much focus on minefaggotry and not enough on the sci-fi setting. These things might have now been added or modded in, but lack of high tech equipment like being able to scan a planet for a more general location of ruins or ore deposits and exact type just seemed retarded.

>build your own ship, with capabilities depending on the blocks you use
>stations have a drydock room you can park your ship in for easier building
>can land on planets, but you first need to construct a wide, flat landing pad
>ship-to-ship combat, your ship can be damaged if you fuck up badly enough
>commandeer enemy ships or repair derelicts to expand your fleet
>sell them, or assign follower NPCs to pilot them and assist you in combat
>call in orbital bombardment on surface targets
>ship cargo interface lets you instantly access every container on the ship
>if ship is landed, also every container in the immediate vicinity of the landing pad
>can quickly move massive amounts of goods to and from the ship, to trade with stations
Features that will never exist.
The fact that there are already mods for custom-built ships just makes it worse in my mind. It means the engine supports it as-is, and the Chucklefucks just can't be arsed to do the minimal work required to implement it.

If only we could have the art and sound guys work under competent coders and project leads. It could be fucking amazing.

Fuck it, Why don't we all pitch in our ideas for a good 2d spess sandbox game?
>Faction system on character creation, Each faction has different quest lines that occasionally overlap and have you fuck with the other factions. Or you can go unaffiliated and try to investigate the deep mysteries of the universe.
>FTLesque space battles, you can also try to board and fight them head-on.
>Stellar phenomena, Spacial warping makes fuel burn quicker in its area of effect, Magnetars force you to take detours in your journey.
Don't say "but nobody will actually use our ideas", Its just fun to write them down regardless.

It probably would have been way better if you could build your own ship. Like the game starts with you floating on a platform with a shitty engine and oxygen producer in space with your matter manipulator and your space suit and you have like 3 minutes to mine some asteroids and build a rudimentary covering over your platform to trap oxygen.

Later on you basically get to build whatever spaceship you want. In terraria, you build your house your way as protection from monsters and as a place to store your stuff. They give it to you in starbound but theres next to no customization. They take all the fun out of it. There's no reason to build a base on some random planet when you have your space ship.

Holy fucking yikes. I can't see Florans looking like those abominations.

IIRC after an uproar it was removed and it was really just one artist's depiction of it

biggest red flag, no sane developer would ever want to be in bongistan

There is less content now than there was during early access and the core gameplay has not improved at all

Why are florans so fuck-able?

any porn mods?

PLANT
PUSSY

Because we've all rubbed flowers on our cock tips as children so we've grow to sexualize plants.

Its their plant pheromones, they're so strong they affect you through internet images like this, if you were to ever meet one face to face you would instantly be reduced to a dumb, drooling mess of boners unable to control yourself. Remember to always wear your gasmask around them.

Whoa whoa, slow down there bud. Having factions? Ship to ship battles? That's a wee bit too violent for chucklefuck, ya'll be protectorate hippies, don't forget.

wow hey, a fat fetishist and a pedophile!
dont post that shit

?
Am I not caught up on some deep lore?I don't see how this is either fatshit or pedophilia. Just really thicc is all.

Pedophile? Story?

story mode

There are, somewhere.
I kinda still want a lewd server, but with new blood.

you forgot the fapfic false flag

the people who those characters belonged too are actually really bad people, the hylotls player was a huge faggot over everything

Doesn't the hylotl's player browse here?
Are you trying to bait out a response from them or something?

>Magnetars can rip out the iron from your blood, Kessler syndrome can rip your space craft into shreds if you get into a particularly "dirty" orbit, And there's always the once in a literal lifetime chance that a Gamma ray burst can collide directly with you. Its terrifying, really.

>People don't understand the brutality of space.

And apparently neither do you. Literally none of those things are plausible. Human blood isn't magnetic, Kessler syndrome is likely to be mitigated by any significantly spacefaring civilization, and you don't just get "caught" by gamma ray bursts at random.

magnetars can still fuck your shit up though, even if it doesn't rip your blood out it can still pose a threat against any spaceship that gets too close.

Aping the Linux distro version naming, I guess

The original puppy got given to a shelter, afaik

And if you have both the original mod and FU, they collide.
No, FU will not fix that, so the original mod is removed instead.

they might, or theyre too busy being a tumor in some starbound discord

It's just one mod! ONE MOD! How does that ruin a game?!

Nah, Satyr's an asshole. He has absolutely no concept of tact and every comment he makes has at least one thinly-veiled insult in it. That's extremely unprofessional and unbecoming for the author of such a popular mod. It is factually a legitimate character flaw of his, and something he needs to work on if he ever wants to make it in life.

Just reading his comments on FU's Steam Workshop page gives you an idea of his complete and almost humorous lack of self-awareness.

Satyr, if you're reading this, fuck you.
