So the starbound 1.0 release has come. The new intro is nice but... fucking tedium. They put a timer on the crafting, and if you close the window before it's complete, you cancel the crafting. they reduced the number of slots on the hotbar by half. They even removed the racially dependent ship AI sprites after they went through all the trouble of making and implementing them in the last version.
Chucklefish is the fucking worst. And by "fucking worst" I mean that I am palming the shit out of my face at how back asswards they are at game development. You can't implement something and say "This is a thing we want in the game, and it will be here forever! Look at all this stuff we put in!" and then rip all of it out by the roots a few seconds later. Oh, and with the re inclusion of the hunger system, they also removed the ability to teleport from underground and made it so your drop your entire inventory on death. By "entire" I mean the now 5 page inventory containing something like 250 items total. You can't play on the "casual" difficulty, which turns off item drop on death, without also turning off other good features. Just another game that is gonna get fixed with mods.
Also, the mod workshop barely works. You have to start and restart starbound several times to get the mods to actually show up in game.
Such fucking tedium. Picking berries or waiting for my forge to heat up in real life is less tedious.
