I'd imagine that the very core of the planet would be inaccessible, since creating ways for the player to logically rotate around the planet's center of gravity would be a mindfuck for the developers. It will probably be like Terraria, except the sides of the map loop.

easy the core is a square! and even then it'd probably be surrounded by the mantle and the outer core, which would mostly be molten rock so whatever they got for liquid physics would probably suffice.
Being able to mine out the centre of a planet would be quite interesting, if they had realistic gravity you could float in the very centre.
Although actually portraying it would be strange.

Or get crushed by the pressure. Maybe you'll need a potion or accessory or suit or whatever to go to the center.

Well if it'd be like that why couldn't it be like Hell in terraria, except it'd loop also? You're only ever going to see flat map during gameplay, so there shouldn't really be a mindfuck.

Yes, but what if you keep digging down? As you get closer and closer to the center of a circle the circumference becomes smaller.

Upside down triangle?
Makes we wonder if there'll be anything crazy we can do with the cats. Like give them power armor and attach little energy cannons to them.
I can't wait.
I don't know about you guys, but I'll be making an Ape character when this is out.

Or attach the ketchup bot to it. :v:
I really look forward to play around in the space station, good to know the devs are taking it upon themselves to cram this game with content
That confirmed features link is awesome.
[quote=that link]There will be vanity slots to alter your appearance, and many worn items will also be procedurally generated in appearance making sure most players will not look the same.[/quote]
I just checked the forums, Tiy mentioned something about dungeon generation, and how impressed he is with how it's coming along.

I'm going to make a cyber-witch character who rides a hover board with a black cat in a small turret on the front.
i hope there will be something like a pre order beta. soon can't arrive fast enough.
Sounds like they're trying to avoid that from what I've gathered.
I hope we get velociraptors of some description as playable characters, like that little dinosaur on the Segway.
Hope this thing become modable! :D
I haven't been hyped for a game in years!!!
Maybe the game become drm so you have to play online to play offline... Like, terraria...
I am very excited for this game now that I have finally come to terms with the death of terraria.

The idea that makes me excited the most is the no limit on the amount of people that can join a server and that every planet has a very different style
I like space in general.

The only drm that Terraria had was Steam?

The Loop Points Squeeze Together.
I-----I
I----I
I---I
I--I
I-I
O
I = Loop Points
- = Everything in between.
O = The core.
Pretty simple.
do you think they'll let us go that far down though?
if I had to guess, they'd just let us go as far down as some mantle-y magma filled area similar to the underworld before it cuts off

I'm most excited to have a bunch of ketchup bots coating my base in the stuff.
Not really of course, I'm most excited for the improved combat, seeing as enemies will have attack animations and we'll be able to block
