Starbound Unstable Updates & Showing Off New Art For 'Outposts'

Starbound the increasingly amazing 2D universe sandbox game is due to gain a new type of planet and with it, some new awesome art! They have also updated their unstable branch on Steam once again.

QuotePart of the new progression system detailed in earlier posts is the new “outpost” planet type.

Here you’ll find all manner of npcs willing to buy your goods, give you quests and rent your properties.

I can't wait to see that in-game and walk around an outpost with chatty NPC types.

They have also done a new content update to the unstable branch on Steam, with these additions & fixes:

QuoteShiny new stuff:

5 new weathers – sandstorm, snowstorm, fog, ash storm, space dust
A couple new Agaran hats (shroomhead3 and shroomhead4)
More objects for Heck! (heckpillar1, heckpillar2, hecksign)
Some mysterious Floran pods
Bug fixes:

Possible fix for repeat keys never triggering callback, hence resulting in old data being used (e.g. after holding backspace to clear account in server connect dialog).
Unix & Windows LockFile implementation, also fix bug with texturing flag not being moved during operator=
Fixed sit alignment on tier10 chair
Much improved variant <-> lua handling
Assorted engine fixes (e.g “Tag manifest as windows 7 compatible, trying to work our way out from under compatflags”)

The new weathers sound pretty fun, maybe I will now find worlds that don't rain 24/7. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
