Not sure if the crystal is good for anything other than its basic form, but it looks neat. Found a crystal mini-biome on one planet. The only reason i go to the depths is for metals, because buying them from the Ursa shop is expensive and pixels are a pain to obtain if you dont do missions or loot everything on sight. but whats the point of it if every planet has the same boring stuff under its crust? you enjoy more travelling on the surface and going all the way around finding crops and settlements than trying to find stuff underground. The game may entice the player to explore other worlds. So yeah, there's plenty of stuff that should be fixed or expanded regarding the underground. Most of the time you find just a chest sitting there with randomize loot that its either cosmetic and useless, or its furniture that its also useless unless you want an specific colonists, which i doubt will be of help to your mission. is it an insectoid? then hardened carapace, is it half plant? living root, i can understand the homogenity of drops due to being the same type of monsters but at least the unique mobs should drop something that makes the biome worth looking for. the rest of what appears above and under are randomly generated things that dont seem to have a feature related to their respective biomes outside of color.Īnd all of them drop the same stuff. most of the minibiomes only have 1 unique spawn.

The mob diversity in Starbound is horrible. Sometimes you find a mushroom cavern that gives some use in the form of making second tier potions out of the mushrooms. you can dig and dig and dig on a terrarian world and you're guaranted to find either large clusters of ore, a unique mob with interesting drops, a minibiome with plenty of stuff to loot or a cabin with a golden chest.

that only happens on the surface biomes.Īgain. no special features like underground cabins or minidungeons. The only interesting stuff on them are the blocks. i've seen what seems to be jungle and found a large tar biome once in a toxic planet. guaranted to have a layer of desert and clay. and there's not much to get your interest in digging further deep.ĭo you see larger amounts of metals? not unless you reach a tier 4 system at minimumĭo you see unique items? rarely, the only legendary weapon i've got in my playthrought was the alien worm gun that outside of the uniqueness its completelly uselessĭo you see interesting landscape? barely, specially in the starting planet. the ore volume in the clusters is mediocre at best. but seriously, the underground is boring. i wouldnt mind going the extra mile to unlock the entrance to the outpost. no, you are obligued to reach to the planet's core in order to compensante RNGisus bullshit. The complain comes in the form that in order to get spaceborne you have to complete a quest that doesnt even give you the materials completely.
