Less?
Have you checked out the game's roadmap or the dev blog?

Not sure what asteroid you're talking about, but I know the devs have said you land on asteroids, space debris, and other man-made structures, which will have their own unique dungeons and enemies
Thank you for what you are doing, much appreciated!

I want a spooky looking world. Dead trees, dark colors. I have the gravestones and occult shit already, but now I need a dark world to put it on. and then I need to rob some Glitches to get the medieval stuff.
I might join the GAF server but I don't put down foundations yet. Still have a shaky internet connection, so I'd rather not commit. I'll visit though!
I can't wait to get home and play again. I hate when this shit is released during the week, but then again, I understand why.

The planets appear to be really big. The wiki doesn't give exact numbers, just says that they vary. We do know that the planet terrain loops (instead of having fixed map edges) and the servers allow an "unlimited" number of planets.
The biggest map size in Terraria is 8400x2400. So far on the GAF server starter planet (alpha alpha ant minor?) I think I've covered about 6000 horizontal squares at least. I threw down another 3000-ish single blocks on the super-scientific sky road extending to the east from the starting point and haven't looped around the planet yet. It's in the same ballpark as Terraria Huge at least, something like 10,000 screens worth of planet. I'll be curious to see what the real numbers come out to.

Any Oceanic or other foreign players on the GAF server?
I'm assuming it's hosted in the U.S, so I'm just wondering if people are lagging.

Probably like Terraria..check the ports. I don't know which one and I haven't set up my own server so can't tell you.
Also I wish for a custimizeable UI and maybe a way to speed up time (but not skip time).

So if I'm going to totally suck and I know almost nothing about this game, is it uhh... cool if I join the GAF server?
I saw the same thing or similar, but with the "peckish" message, and I think I starved to death. It would be nice to see hunger and temperature on the state screen whenever you want to check them.

So should I get this if i couldn't get into terraria? How different is it? I really like the sci fi themes and the space stuff
If you're a sadistic SoB, I suggest you head to X22440236 Y-11802356
Nice little Avian town, you can buy a few things they sell and then slaughter them ALL and steal the really nice housing materials they have. I suggest at least silver armor and steel bow will one shot them!
bwahaha

As an Avian, I am not happy about this mass murdering
Can't you kill some Florans, they are the bad guys in the story.
Those temporary stat boost containers being able to kill you is so cheap. There should be some way to tell whether it's going to be a trap or not. Sucks going all the way towards an edge of a map and then dying because one was poison. I guess it's not worth opening them up at this stage.

I am a Floran hahaha >:}
Lol. I wish I wasn't at work right now. We could avenge the death of your people.As an Avian, I am not happy about this mass murdering

Ooooh, that's why...
I really want to play this - was gonna hold out for the PS4/Vita versions but I don't think I can wait.
My PC is a bit old (it's a HP Pavillion all-in-one PC from 2009) and has never been used for gaming... but I'm assuming it could run this though as it seems very low spec.
Also, I suck at mouse/keyboard gaming, can I plug a DS4 into my PC and play with ease?
Also, would be interested in going in on a 4-pack assuming I can run this.

Badass looking Avian base that gave me tons of pixels and cool looking stuff:
1st Trip:
Avian Merchant village, it was pretty big and looked amazing:
2nd Trip:
Small camps spread out on the surface of what seemed to be Glitch:
3rd Trip:
A full blown human prison:

Yeah, I kind of laughed, too.
It's like Minecraft - if an area is too crowded you bug out. This game generates new planets for you on the fly, for the most part. If you're crowded, go hit up a random area and find a new planet.
Then invite Gaffer friends to travel there and check out your rad digs!

Really loving this game so far, runs great on my crappy laptop, but I ran into a weird bug where all my unrefined wood is not showing up in my inventory. I can craft things out of it, but not put it into my ship for fuel, and coal seems harder to come by than wood. Anybody else have this or is a fix known?
Oh, and Avians for life!

You can run the game on a potato, so specs shouldn't be a problem. The game will get more and more optimized as time goes on as well. I'm not sure the DS4, or any controller for that matter, would be a good alternative to KBM. Starbound doesn't (currently) natively support controllers, so you would need to install a third-party program to use one.
Sooooo I can't even get the game to get past the opening splash screens lol. Suddenly my computer is running like it's got 1 leg, pretty rough atm lol. Gonna restart my computer and hopefully that'll get it running smoother again because it's on struggle street at the moment from trying to launch the game
