Mod support = Hard Mode mod.

Mod support is one of the main pros of a PC though.

You don't even have to mod Starbound for it to be good, the combat is better, the NPCs are better, etc.

Can you be a space pirate that raids town after town in Terraria?
I thought not.

"Mod support is one of the main pros of a PC though."

doesnt matter

"You don't even have to mod Starbound for it to be good, the combat is better, the NPCs are better, etc."

the enemy ai in combat isnt good
you can get back to max health really quickly with health items so there isnt danger
the tenant npcs are less important in starbound since they sell things you can find on planets or that you can make
in terraria you need tenant npcs since they have items that you cant get anywhere else
some alt attacks make it impossible for enemies to fight back
you can use guided missiles to shoot around corners so npcs cant get you

"Can you be a space pirate that raids town after town in Terraria?

raiding towns doesnt do anything in starbound and all the towns are the same

"doesnt matter"

So basically you're saying that any valid point you'll just be like "meh" at?


"the enemy ai in combat isnt good"

Tell me an enemy in Terraria that's smarter than Starbound AI besides bosses.

At least Starbound AI has a concept of platforming, or small mazes.


"raiding towns doesnt do anything in starbound and all the towns are the same"

It's early access, of course the content isn't full yet.

You missed the point, the point was that it has things that Terraria doesn't, and that's just an early access version which is just even more of a pro as it's not complete and still has more features coming.

its not a valid point
what you said about starbound can be said about terraria where you can get mods for it to make it better


"Tell me an enemy in Terraria that's smarter than Starbound AI besides bosses."

terrarias ai has better attack patterns
all human npcs in starbound shoot in a straight line and change weapons randomly

"At least Starbound AI has a concept of platforming, or small mazes."

npcs in starbound fall in lava and dont run out

"raiding towns doesnt do anything in starbound and all the towns are the same"

"It's early access, of course the content isn't full yet."

my post said that terraria was better right now which meant that starbound could be better in the future

why did you use raiding towns as a point for why its better if its not out yet

"You missed the point, the point was that it has things that Terraria doesn't, and that's just an early access version which is just even more of a pro as it's not complete and still has more features coming."

starbound has more things but terraria does it better

early access isnt a pro
they could just stop making the game or they could make it worse
a lot of devs have done that

"npcs in starbound fall in lava and dont run out"

...So does Terraria's AI.
They only jump over pits, it's been proven a flat layer of lava = their demise.
That goes for both AIs though.

Still, at least Starbound AI has a concept of a sideways U-turn passage to chase you.


"its not a valid point

You can't even use client/singleplayer mods for the latest version, only thing I see mods in is dedicated servers, and those are just plugins.


"my post said that terraria was better right now which meant that starbound could be better in the future"

Oh, okay den.


"why did you use raiding towns as a point for why its better if its not out yet"

It is out, not quite the universe knowing you as a criminal level, but killing shopkeepers and looting them is a thing.


"starbound has more things but terraria does it better"

Mining is better in Starbound as it's less tedious. (ore rocks, generally less costing stuff, more interesting combat.)
Combat is better. (shields actually work.)

Sure, currently Terraria is better, but imo Starbound will surpass it on full release.
Even then though they're different styles.

Well, sure.
Mods could probably fix that though.

I mean, look at Skyrim.

i was saying it wasnt better than terrarias

"Still, at least Starbound AI has a concept of a sideways U-turn passage to chase you."

that doesnt change much

"You can't even use client/singleplayer mods for the latest version, only thing I see mods in is dedicated servers, and those are just plugins."

you can use singleplayer mods for the latest version

"It is out, not quite the universe knowing you as a criminal level, but killing shopkeepers and looting them is a thing."

it doesnt do anything though


"starbound has more things but terraria does it better"

"Mining is better in Starbound as it's less tedious."

hows it less tedious

"ore rocks"

what do you mean

"generally less costing stuff"

cheaper items makes money less important

"more interesting combat"

guns are useless because melee does more and enemies cant attack you while you hit them

"(shields actually work.)"

theres no point in using shields because enemies cant attack you if you keep attacking them with a 2-handed melee weapon

"Sure, currently Terraria is better, but imo Starbound will surpass it on full release."

a lot of early access devs stop updating their game or make it worse

"that doesnt change much"

Actually, it does, U-turns will doof-ify any regular Terraria enemy that doesn't teleport.


"you can use singleplayer mods for the latest version"

Okay, I was outdated there.


"it doesnt do anything though"

Currently no, but maybe it'll do something later.
Either way it does effect that specific planet as there are now no shops and you own the whole town.


"hows it less tedious"

Okay, let me explain this: Ore rocks are random respawning rocks that give you like 5 of that ore, making you able to make a passage with them along it and farm it daily, earning tons of ore.


"cheaper items makes money less important"

That's the whole point.
In Starbound resource management is not as important as in Terraria, like I said, they are differently styled games.


"guns are useless because melee does more and enemies cant attack you while you hit them"

Try fighting a flying enemy that shoots lightning with a sword.

How else would they balance it? Guns have more range, a lot more.


"theres no point in using shields because enemies cant attack you if you keep attacking them with a 2-handed melee weapon"

When fighting bosses shields are pretty much a necessity.

Shields are much better for defensive play, using a 2-handed weapon doesn't let you stand there and be invincible with perfect blocking.


"a lot of early access devs stop updating their game or make it worse"

I know that.
But what's your point here? Starbound could do that, but they haven't so...Point?


"Terraria has like 3x the content that starbound has."

Maybe, but what is that content?
Grind to the next boss, beat said boss by building the correct arena and then dodge and clickspam till it dies.
Over and over.


But why are we comparing a full game that got updated with an early access beta game which honestly is more like alpha?
Doesn't sound like a fair comparison to me.

Maybe you needed to build arenas and grind but I sure didn't buddy.

In my opinion, yes.

As a fact? No.
