Xbox Update 1.4.5.2

Ahoy Planet Hoppers,

Xbox Players can enjoy a new update live now which includes some Quality of Life and bug fixes to improve playability on a controller and address some stability issues on console. This is our last Starbound update of the year. For now, we’re off to have a little rest, but we’ll be hurtling through space once again in 2025, we’ll see you then.

Minor Changes/Bug Fixes

1.4.5.2 Changelog

– Adjusted default button bindings (LB/RB is the only way to switch items now)

  – Long press LB/RB to display Radial/Manipulator interface.

  – Short press LB/RB to switch to previous/next item.

– Added in Setting that item switching order could switch between in-group or global switching.

  – For example, if the current held item is from the Radial group and is set to in-group cycling, short pressing LB/RB will only switch between Radial items, unable to switch to Manipulator.

  – If set to global cycling, short pressing LB/RB can switch to Manipulator.

– Further reduced the time to automatically return to locked state from 500ms to 100ms.

– Added ability to quickly switch between inventory and storage using LT and RT when opening the storage interface.

– Moved the quest progress tracking HUD from the lower right corner to the upper right corner of the screen.

– Added display of currently bound items in the quick bar to the game interface.

– Swapped the positions of brush and survey tool in the tool quick bar (long press RB).

– Fixed an issue where the chat window would persist for a period of time when first entering the game.

– Swapped the functions of the original X and Y buttons in the inventory, storage, and shop interfaces.

– Added button prompt text to the mech editing interface.

– Optimized cursor position when closing secondary menus in inventory, storage, and shop interfaces.

– Fixed an issue where the cursor orientation did not change when the player’s orientation changed.

– Moved the boss health bar position to the top of the screen (previously at the bottom).

– Fixed issues with some shop page shortcut buttons being ineffective or incorrect.

– Fixed the erroneous behavior when pressing the LS button in the inventory while the store interface is open.

– Fixed the game crash when player dies due to hunger value reaching 0 while opening the store interface.

– The LS and RS buttons’ function to control item quantity in the store interface is only effective when the focus is on the store interface rather than the inventory interface; corresponding button prompts will also be modified.

– Added View button shortcut to organize inventory.

– Fixed potential crashes caused by game rendering.
