Indie hit Starbound has already got a fairly extensive amount of content, but developers Chucklefish are already planning the next stages of the game’s evolution.
Developer Fin Brice posted on the game’s official website, detailing some of the planned additions. Some of the more notable plans include:
- “NPC Spawners & Building Logic: NPCs will scan the structures you build around them and the contents of chests; they will have improved inventories/behaviors depending on how valuable their surroundings are.
-
“Macro Terrain Changes: Affect an entire planet’s terrain and weather
-
“More Planet Scanner Data: See details in the planet scanner like planet occupants/dungeons
-
“Underground: More secrets will spawn below the surface
-
“Space Combat: Way in the future, expect space combat and the ability to board other ships.
-
“Spaceship Dungeons: Very large, size of a planet.
-
“Biome Hazards: Sandstorms, icestorms, meteor showers, toxic planets, airless planets.
-
“Ore & Difficulty: Higher difficulty planets will have improved ore distribution
-
“Story Missions: Eventually each tier will end with a story mission that ends with the bosses you see now.
