Starbound

[Kajin]

Huh. That's weird. I warped to another star and as soon as I teleported down to the planet's surface I got booted from the server. Now it's not letting me rejoin.

[Bprince2010UK]

How do I warp from the alpha system to the beta system? I've not figured out how yet.

You have to defeat the penguin boss first, create the metalworkstation and craft a data card/chip thingy that you then you then use and it unlocks it

I believe it takes more fuel to travel there though.

I've crafted the starmap and used it to upgrade my engine. I just can't find the part of the navigation menu that lets me travel to the beta system.

Server down again? Can't connect.

[Kitt Frostpaws]

Having some server troubles?

Should be near the top next to the A when you are choosing solar systems not planets.To back out of the planet view thingy press right mouse button

Don't really see how its different from Terraria apart from the space travel.

[Kajin]

Everything is better in space.

Don't really see how its different from Terraria apart from the space travel.

space travel, nude birds, walking fishmen, intelligent apes, space travel, and a more rpg style feel

its quite different.

except for the 2d display and the cube design

 

EDIT:

Just incase it is important to you guys I found a planet/solar system which is pretty impressive

has a few npcs and I think even an avian air boat

Coordinates are:

Alpha X Per 767 II

-27856206

45508109

The worlds/planets are much more random and unique than in terraria. terraria is a great game (played it a lot), but after some time you'll see that the randomness of the world generation isn't that random. in terraria you are "bound" to a world. you can leave the game to switch the world of course, but it's not very comfortable. In starbound you are able to travel between your world.

 

Also there are (sometimes friendly) npcs living in the worlds, which makes the game more organic.

Anyone found any good planets? If so what are the coords and which SECTORS are they?

(Alpha, Beta etc)

So its just Terraria in space with slightly more variety?

Ehrm, it's just better. In Terraria I got bored REAL easy and quit playing it. In this game, I just finished the last tier and have been playing all day(48 hours total). You get the point?

[Xydonus]

Looking forward to playing this when I get bk, most of the beta reviews I've seen are positive.

Have you tried to play recently? 

 

I understand you may find Starbound more fun then Terraria, but how is it different from Terraria?

I for one do not think combat is one of starbounds strong points.

Edit: gif does describe Terrarias combat well though

as i have written above, the worlds of terraria have an end (on each side). After playing a lot, the game feels like you are trapped in a box (the level) with limited stuff. starbound feels more open. Terraria has got all biomes in one world - in starbound every planet is a different biome. It's also a bit more difficult than terraria, because the starting phase is much harder. Another big point is your spaceship which is very good as starting base. you don't need to go back to a world to get you stuff - you're able to store it in your spaceship with access on every planet.

 

In terraria, you start farming materials, building a base, unlocking hardmode, fighting bosses and after this, you switch the world to do it again. Starbound is more about traveling and farming planets to build up your ultimate spaceship.

I don't know how much that will help.

Best way to learn is by playing with other people who can show you around.

I'm still clueless to some parts. The wiki indeed helps a lot.

Make sure to do the tutorial quests, really.

Edit: With wiki I mean the official one:
