    Since this will all be gone soon, I feel I need some proof this stuff actually existed for a while.

    My base of operation, build mostly from plunder gathered on a nearby moon.

    No Caption Provided

    My farm, used to be my center of business until I got tired of walking from the space landing to the house.

    No Caption Provided

    My greenhouse, though I'm honestly not sure they even need sunlight.

    I would love to play with Bombers at some point, though I didn't want to too much spoiled by way of playing with with people further into the game. I just think part of the fun is discovering things for yourself.

    What happened to the base on the games.toasttopia.com server? I spawned at the home planet and was in a giant ditch :(

    I've seen the in trailers that there is some way to build in the background, like having a wall for your house that blocks the natural background, but I've no idea how to do that myself. Is it even possible to do?

    starbound.redco.in is back up after a brief restart, hope I didn't disconnect anyone.

    (For reference, the server software has some memory leaks, to the tune of 2.6GB memory usage over ~36 hours. You probably shouldn't run it on a VPS yet.)

    Hey I got an idea about server security for when we get a "fresh start." So, I don't think I've seen any griefing at all on this server, but it's inevitable, and I've been on a few other servers that are currently just smoldering piles of crap with spawnpoints dug into the middle of the world and random piles of colored blocks filling the sky. It's gross. Anyways, I've been thinking there should be a little added security.

    How about we add a password and require that people:

    1. are a member of Giant Bomb (of course)

    2. contact @sithtoast (or whoever) on Steam to get the password from them, so sithtoast can verify the Steam account they're using isn't a day old or whatever.

    That could get really monotonous and annoying, especially considering lots of people will only join once and never again, so it's just a suggestion. Maybe server admin tools will improve shortly to make things better in that regard. Anyways, nothing bad has happened in the server, so nobody worry. Just trying to stave off the inevitable.

    @development: Nah just make the password a question about GB. Something like, What Sibling related game is a shoe in for top 10 GOTY? Who is anime for? Who will galactic punt you into the meat dimension?

    Or maybe I'm far too much of a GB nerd and those questions are too obscure.

    My main suggestion is to pick a single world and use that as our "Home". And not mine the fuck out of it, whatever server we pick. That way we don't have a swiss cheese planet like we did on Sith's. We can go around stripping every OTHER planet of its resources but i'd like to keep our home pristine until we build a giant planet-spanning city on top of it. (And yes I mean the whole planet.)

    I second this. I just got the game yesterday and have been playing around with it, but I would assist in building a giant home base.

    On another note I hope they don't wipe everything I'll lose my fire axe T-T

    @amikron: @masterrain: I like both these ideas. Except the password thing would need to be pretty simple, or even people who know the answer might not spell it right. You know, like, is it "Brothers," or "Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons," or "Brothers a Tale of Two Sons." Also, I should say I've had fantastic experiences with the GB community in the past, but they aren't all impervious to falling to the dark side in a big way.

    @amikron: I love things like this and I don't know why.

    I wonder if terrain generation and stuff will be changed with this update. I stored everything in a SP world just incase, and wrote down the name of the planet.

    For the possibility of setting up a "Home" on a server: There exists a solar system which is named Horsebutt. I don't think I need to say more.

    Also for people who have been playing on Karsh's server, I'm named Jam Cop in game. Hi.

    The mech coming in was great.

    I also had one time I was running around in one of the rooms and the game slowed to a crawl and a wall formed around my chraracter out of nowhere I had to dig out of it.

    Man, I might want to get in on this. My old Terraria crew got pretty burned out after the last Terraria update, so I need to find a new multiplayer place to roll around in.

    I haven't played much of this game yet, is it reasonable to try to hop on a server if you haven't really progressed at all? In Terraria, it was pretty hard to get a start after everything had been mined and explored.

    @spaceboat: Go straight into multiplayer, man. There are infinite worlds, so you can just fly to your own and start "solo" there if you want. Plus, we'll be there to answer any questions.

    Grappling hook! And too much ore!

    Patch notes for the update:

    HUGE balance patch, every item, creature, armor and weapon rebalanced. Leveling system entirely rewritten

    Although the balance is early the new leveling system, the system is much better than the old one and we can now improve balance over time.

    Added early implementation of creature taming (more features coming soon)

    Added new mining items

    Added new weapons

    Added new throwable items

    Added grappling hook

    Added new boss and new sector of the galaxy

    Added a stance system to weaponry, not currently used but will allow us to add secondary attacks to weaponry very soon.

    Tons of new sounds

    Guns more common in tier 3

    Underground detached/rare biomes more common

    Underground random encounters more common

    Underground chests more common

    Ore rebalance (probably way way too much ore at the moment, will be fixed later, enjoy it)

    Baby monsters

    New monster palettes

    Added pixel compressor for high cost banking (idea from Ncrpts)

    Disable using the beamaxe to light caves underground

    Added new hats

    some monsters now graze on grass (can look ugly, needs finishing)

    Small bipeds now socialise with eachother

    All the monsters behave smarter and are less likely to get stuck

    You can no longer attack through blocks

    Fix the game on XP (hopefully)

    Tons more fixes and smaller additions

    Yeah the multiple planet set up of this game means you can go to a whole range of planets for resources, or to have your own.
