Comment on I started Starbound for the first time and recorded the experience

Hell yeah, Starbound!

I tend to go back to one of the beta versions from time to time so it’s interesting to see the final one - it’s both extremely familiar and pretty different at the same time. It might not be as good of a product as Terraria but I always had a soft spot for this game.

I doubt I can provide any tips for this version but I hope you have fun with it.

Funny that you say that. I opened the comments to mention how the final version never felt right to me. One aspect is that the final door is open from the beginning of the game. In my first (early access) playthroughs, the final door stayed closed until the story opened it.

I even played without frackin universe and it was still open on a new playthrough. I really hope it was my files and not a game change. Frackin universe build paths also got way worse and unnecessarily complicated over time, but that’s a different story.

I have much more good to say than bad about the game, but it felt better when I played back in 2016 for the first time and in 2018 with the mod.

  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

  I think the final door being open is because you opened it on an earlier playthrough, since characters share the same universe (unless you delete the universe save file)

    Fantastic insight!! Makes perfect sense out of years of confusion. Thank you.
