17th December – Come S.A.I.L Away

Hey everyone!

In the current version of Starbound, S.A.I.L will talk to you on your ship and give you advice during missions. Soon, S.A.I.L will be able to give you helpful tips while you’re roaming the surfaces of planets!

Sometimes you’ll get messages from other characters, too! They… probably aren’t all going to be so cryptic.

[STABLE] Glad Giraffe Hotfix + Dev Blog!

Hello!

A hotfix was pushed today for a very specific issue.

  • If your game crashed between completion of one quest and pressing the button to accept another quest, it could make you unable to complete the main quest line. Now it doesn’t do that!

Shortest changelog ever!

image_2015-12-16_16-59-57With Glad Giraffe, we temporarily removed the ability to capture monsters because the system wasn’t quite working properly and we needed a bit more time to get it up to scratch. Currently, you can only capture critters. But this is changin’! Here’s how:

  • You’ll be able to tell your capture pods apart! Capture pod tooltips will contain information about the monster inhabiting them.
  • Craft capture pods at the capture pod station, and heal your pet at the pet healing station.
  • You don’t need to kill your pet to put it back in its capture pod! You can instead throw the same capture pod again to recall the pet.

^ One for @TheStrangeLog, I think.

Our comment system still isn’t fixed, but miiight be tomorrow. For now, here’s the thread you should leave your comments in!

‘Til next time! <3
