Fossils

 

A mockup of what fossils might look like.

Fossils are the remains of long dead creatures scattered throughout Starbounds universe.  They’re extremely valuable, very rare and very difficult to dig up. You’ll need special tools to clear the dirt and unearth a fossil. Removing the wrong piece of dirt could cause the fossil to crumble into dust. Successfully removed fossils can be placed as trophies, some have very special properties and perhaps some of these long dead creatures can even be revived.

If we manage to hit $750,000 in pre-orders, this feature will be added to the final game and will be playable by release.
