Retried this game with some mods, because I had the classic bi-yearly Starbound itch.
Unfortunately this game isn't what I want it to be.
The game doesn't run very well, and it's worse with mods. The dedicated big mod, Fracking Universe, even has a wiki page about it, simply stating that you can't really improve the performance because of how the game was made.
Even in modded, I didn't feel like the progression was very meaningful and a lot of the options in this game feel bloated. I can just survive on 1 specific food and bringing a big stack of that, I can use 1 weapon to kill everything until I get a new weapon, etc.
Inventory management and storage is an absolute hell in this game, though mods can alleviate it.
I really want to like this game, because it has most of the elements I want, but with so many annoyances and inconsistencies, I can't help but feel discouraged whenever I try and boot this up.
