This game is pretty epic, even all these years later. As someone who completely skipped it but loves exploration & space games, I'm kicking myself for not having found this game sooner.

Making the video was a real treat. I've recorded a few of these episodes already, but I'll only post this one time to avoid spam & rulebreaking. My goal in posting this is to see if anybody loves Starbound (or has never checked it out and wants to) and have them vibe alongside me, drop me comments/hints, or just be entertained as I explore the game.

I can't say much about the final version since I didn't play much of it yet but I do remember some fun ideas being lost during the development. I also remember not vibing much with the new lore & introduction but that could possibly change whenever I take some time to finally experience the game.

I guess I could ask since you've mentioned Frackin' Universe. I've seen some mods trying to bring various parts of the old features back, do you know if any of them managed a decent mix of old and new vision of the project?

FU was the only mod I played with, and it worked as early as 2018 I think. It was a huge overhaul on massive features and build paths. I suggest a look if you enjoy the vanilla game.

Tons of new features too many to count
