Hello everyone!
Starbound focuses more on exploring, collecting things and visiting places (villages, dungeons) and has a less sophisticated combat system. It's more beautiful and a better game to build. Both games have common mechanics (mining, building, crafting, wiring, fishing) and exclusive mechanics. Starbound is a space+sandbox+building+exploration game developed by Chucklefish, a London-based independent game studio! Pickaxes mine blocks in a 3x3 square 10 times per 3 seconds and break after 200 swings, which is about 1 minute of continuous use. Drills mine blocks in a 2x2 square 10 times per second and break after 1000 ticks of damage, which is about 1 minute and 40 seconds of continuous use.

Fossil Excavation Starbound
Last year we shared a number of updates about Starbound’s Xbox console version, which we’d been showing at public events and felt was nearly ready. Our last update was that the console version was suffering from serious performance issues with 3-4 players together in some scenarios and we felt it couldn’t be released to the public in that state. We’ve worked with a number of different developers to try and address this, and have made some progress – but we’re still not confident enough to say when it might be ready. We’ve seen all the requests for an update on console development, and we understand this isn’t the news everyone’s looking for – but we want to address it and reassure we are still working on it with our partners!
Starbound Excavation Chest
We’re also supporting Jingle Jam by Yogscast again this holiday season, where you can grab a bundle with Starbound and some other great titles to support charity! In the meantime, if you want to see what else we at Chucklefish are up to, you can follow us on Twitter here and chat to us in Discord here. Until next time, peacekeepers!
