But you can!
Also, Solatrus' tracks are amazing:

[QUOTE=That Ninja;40268865]That shit better reach $500,000.[/QUOTE]
I'm estimating they'll hit at least $2,000,000 in a month's time.
[QUOTE=Xilo;40268894]oh they'll reach it, i ahve almost no doubt they can sell off the remaining 2k packages.
my question is, will there be more special stuff for 1,000,000?[/QUOTE]
There might be stretch goals inbetween, actually.
[QUOTE=TheLolrus;40268923]There might be stretch goals inbetween, actually.[/QUOTE] yeah probably.

fucking adorable
They're Novakids

The race actually looks really cool, not to mention the Western theme they're going to bring.
[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;40268831]Holy shit haha what a new race?
[IMG]http://playstarbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Novakid.png[/IMG]
Awesome![/QUOTE]
Ha, I saw that image quite a while ago on one of the artists art portfolios. This new race has been sitting under our noses the entire time!
so how is the beta? Is it on Steam or not yet? How similar to Terraria is this?
[QUOTE=The Baconator;40269007]so how is the beta? Is it on Steam or not yet? How similar to Terraria is this?[/QUOTE]
The beta is not out yet, but will be before the game is released. We don't have much information about it yet.
And it's not very alike to Terraria, even though that's the game one could most easily compare it to. It has a much bigger focus on exploration and replayability.
If you haven't read up on a lot about the game, there are some major differences, like how basically everything, from planets to weapons to plants, is procedurally generated. [url=http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/list-of-announced-game-information-updated-april-3.450/]Here[/url] you can read quite a lot about it, and you could also take a look at the [url=www.playstarbound.com/roadmap]roadmap[/url].

[I]Silly penguin, it goes around the neck, not the waist![/I]
I hope the hats and weapons in the pre-order pictures are in game, because one of those hats reminds me of the ascended sleepers from morrowind.
I want to play as one.
I've got a feeling this'll be useful at some point in the thread.

The western race is cool, though I'd have preferred lizards instead of energy. Lizards would've made more sense given the choice of mostly anthropomorphized species.
Purchases are going through the Humble Store, suppose we'll get DRM free in addition to steam?
Okay, if that race becomes canon, I'm totally gonna be all over it

will I still be able to build crazy houses and have traps and stuff?
[QUOTE=The Baconator;40269317]will I still be able to build crazy houses and have traps and stuff?[/QUOTE]
[quote]Items will have blueprints that are discovered, or learned from npcs. Reverse engineering has been suggested by fans and the devs seemed interested, but nothing official has been set in stone.
[B]Fully alterable terrain, and mining will be in the game, and so will block-by-block construction.[/B]
A player owned UFO that will allow large scale terrain manipulation/terraforming as been discussed.
Many buildings and complex constructions will be placeable as pre-constructed objects, an example given was a weather station.
[B]Possibility of a wiring system, and an in game editor that will allow for custom created missions to have your friends play (Most likely a post release addition.).[/B]
At this time, only basic ship customization has been mentioned. "..to a degree." - Tiy
Some simple crafting will be done on person, and more complicated creations will require you be on the space station at the manufacturing station.
Tech trees in the research lab on the space station will help you work toward building high end things, like vehicles, mechs, etc.
[B]Left clicking will place blocks it in the ground layer (the collision layer in which the player walks), and right clicking will place it in the background. Objects are placed 'in between' the background and ground layer.[/B]
Blocks have variations in their appearance so they don't all look exactly the same. Especially noticeable in single blocks that are not touching others.
Mousing-over a spot with an item will create a "ghost item" (faded-out object). "This can be used for entertainment by placing the cursor with a table selected behind the player and running along a flat surface." - Tiy
[B]Painting of 'pretty much everything' is being prepared/planned for, but is still up in the air for being ready at release or post-release.[/B]
[B]Holding SHIFT will let you place 4 blocks instead of the usual one. This allows for more efficient building as well as being able to fine-tune aesthetics by placing individual blocks.[/B]
[B]A "Gravity Gun" will allow you to see where other players are building.[/B] (Video)
[B]Circuitry will be a big part of the game and will double as part of the level-editor. Wiring will have logic gates.[/B][/quote]
I believe I heard that a wiring system had been confirmed, so you should be able to make traps, and as you can see building crazy houses has been made even easier.
Here's a video of building in action, if you haven't seen it:

Damnit Tiy; now I have to switch to the energy people instead of the apex.

Murderplant or Star-cowboy? I can't decide. D:
WTT Soul & Virginity for a copy. PST.
[sp]Not even joking, I want this game.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Cows Rule;40269209]Purchases are going through the Humble Store, suppose we'll get DRM free in addition to steam?[/QUOTE]
That would be nice. I hate playing games through Steam anymore because people really love to take that as a sign I want to talk for some stupid reason.

Stop that, you're going to make me indecisive about it now.

excellent, building stuff was my favorite part of Terraria
Today's my birthday.

And it's been awesome. Starbound preorders coming out certainly aren't hurting it, either.
Enjoy my 100$ chucklefish, you earned it.
This race is causing everyone to rethink their racial choice.
I'm now wavering between Avian and Novakid

There's an offline option on the friends thing.
Do you think we can pixel-in our own brand if we're gonna be a Novakid?
[QUOTE=V_Buns;40269826]Do you think we can pixel-in our own brand if we're gonna be a Novakid?[/QUOTE]
That would be amazing.
[QUOTE=Jellyman;40269802]There's an offline option on the friends thing.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that means I can't talk to anyone though. There's a nice middle ground where I'm not being flooded with messages by people thinking that playing a game means I'm not busy (coincidentally almost always from people who refuse to reply when playing games themselves because the games are literally their lives) and talking to a handful of people without having to interrupt my game every ten seconds to reply to someone.
1.21 gigawatts! Great Scott!
