P~M Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Starbound's that hot new game everyone's talking about. You know, the one that's sort of like Terraria, but with a spaceship. The official website's here, and the Steam product page is here. The official website is a bit buggy, so if it doesn't work, don't yell at me. If there's anyone else on BZP who plays the game and would be interested in a Starbound server for BZPers, speak up, and maybe if there's enough interest we can figure something out.

Ehksidian Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'm actually getting it tomorrow, so I'd certainly be interested in a server for it.Glad someone made this topic, though. Can't wait to actually play it.because it's terrariain spaceand space makes everything better. Quote Steam name: Ehksidian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trijhak Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've been looking forward to it for a while now. Haven't played too much of it though, don't really want to burn it all out before it gets officially released. But a BZP server would be nice, but I doubt the staff would allow it.

Ehksidian Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It'd be an unnoficial BZP server, of course.Like the mnecraft servers we have. Unofficial, but it's the main one used.It would actually be kinda weird if the staff came in and said "Ok, we approve of this game server" and leavevery bizzare indeed.

P~M Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 It'd be a "server for BZPers," not so much a "BZP server." In other words, not endorsed by or affiliated with the administration, just played on by BZP members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trijhak Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Oh, right. Then perhaps a Starbound server could work. Perhaps we could submit the co-ordinates of interesting planets.

P~M Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Alright, I have a server running on 173.53.29.104. The password is the properly capitalized name of your favorite forum site, and for the server account, just enter one space. The rules are, as usual, play nice and keep a family friendly environment. So no phallic monuments or foul language, please. I'm going to bed now, so if anything comes up, I won't be able to fix it until the morning comes. Sorry. I apologize if there's some lag, my laptop only has 4 GB of ram so it can get a bit laggy when there are games running. I'll try closing Steam (the server just runs off an EXE so that should be okay), but if that breaks things then there ain't much I can do. If you get any weird errors or anything, Google is your friend. Edited December 27, 2013 by ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trijhak Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 So I went on the server, warped down to what appears to be the server's first planet (assuming everyone starts at the same planet on a server's universe), only to be met with hostile robots as I appeared inside a structure that happened to be right at spawn. To the left was an Avian Village. Haven't been to the right yet. Quote On Bota Magna, everything is about to fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~M Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure if that's the case or if you just start in your world. I'll look for that Avian village just in case though. Server is offline. Edited December 27, 2013 by ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehksidian Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 After playing for a total of 16 hours over the course of a few days, I can say that I thoroughly enjoy it.Raiding underground Avian tombs is fun. And fighting bosses.My only gripe so far is that pixels can be difficult to come by, and the fact that if you die you lose some of them. Which is bad if you're stuck and lost in a cave, and need to get out by dying.Not too big of a gripe, though.Oh, and I just want to ask: What race(s) have you guys made characters for? I've made a Human (Who looks like David Tenant...which wasn't intentional) and an Avian (Which looks like a penguin. Again, accidental).

P~M Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Fall colors Floran for me. And yeah, it really has its charm. Especially the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I love Starbound! So far I've been playing human the most, but I made a Floran who I liked and also a Hjalti. I'll probably check out the server sometime, been wanting to try out multiplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~M Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Right now I've actually been playing on a different server, which is why mine hasn't been up much at all. Add me on Steam: Ghoughpteighbteau Tchoghs, and I'll give you the IP. Ehks is on there a lot, but afaik he's the only BZPer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehksidian Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 We'll have to ask the person who hosts the server if he's ok with having other people join.How far has everyone gotten, though? I'm able to go to the Beta Sector, but haven't yet because I want to gather resources first before trying. Quote Steam name: Ehksidian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~M Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've progressed to the Gamma Sector myself, and I'm currently focused on building myself a base in said sector. Hopefully soon I'll have enough titanium and pixels to summon the next boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
