I did a search on this game and only one post was it mentioned in by a new member last year. lol.
I am contemplating starting up Starbound again with a friend. It’s like Terraria but bigger and more to do. I might rent a server but wanted to gauge interest before I did.
It will be my first time hosting a game with mods so you’ll have to bear with me as I work out the kinks.
SERVER INFO:
I finally got this bitch working. Ignore what I said before.
You will need a separate character to play on the server. Keep one for your single player game and one for the server.
Make sure your character creation screen has these boxes checked:
Note: If you have played single player prior to this, you will notice a large difference about the ship. This is normal as Frackin Universe allows you to make your own ship upon loading a new game vs. the default one the game gives you. You can also choose the default if you so desire. This little change is what threw me off to start with. I saw just the hull of a ship and thought it was broken.
It will be Survival.
I just rented the server.
I will be running mods and am currently trying to figure out how to group them and share them and get them on the server. lol
I had to wipe the map and start a new one. One of the things we needed to travel the universe was not spawning.
I found one of them on the new world. I will be playing late in to the night to figure out if this fixes it so that I can just leave the thing alone and let people build and and have fun.
Some of you have told me how much you enjoy it’s depth… just wait until you fix your spaceship. It gets much more fun.
So I am stuck at my parents house today waiting for the internet tech to get here to install new net for them so I decided to see if my Surface Pro would run the game. No issues at all. Jumped on the server and have been playing for about an hour. Other than having to use the Surface keyboard it is enjoyable.
