Only update since has been a single bugfix and also they put the game on Xbox (gotta keep the $$$ flowing on that abandonware). Btw, the source code was leaked and is in development by the community and the devs just don't care (they've said as much on Reddit).

@chjara it's interesting that they re-worked existing features so often that in the current state of the game they actually regressed compared to what existed and was usable in 2015. many things they added are bad or gimmicky. it's interesting how they could start out with such a beautiful base game and ruin it so much.

we used Starbound as a chatroom back then, just hanging out on a planet. it would be fun to do with fedifrens.

i learned about modding with LUA to make chat window bigger etc. without Starbound I would not be on fedi, since I met the people there who got me on fedi

@newmodel @meeper It has some bugfixes, some useful API mods integrated and some new rendering engine features iirc. Every Starbound mod should run just fine.

@kaia @chjara @nerthos I remember trying to dig into the leaked source code to figure out how to insert higher resolution character textures. (wasted alot of time sincec I barely knew C++ or programming enough to decipher wtf a variant is)

@newmodel @chjara @nerthos
yeah, but maybe more IRC or something, since one does not have every "hi!!!!!! :3" as a fedi post?

@kaia @chjara Deep kaia lore!

I used it as a city building sim mostly, with a chatroom it'd be even more fun.
