Starbound: Details zum nächsten Patch

In einigen Tagen soll ein neuer Patch für das Sandbox-Spiel Starbound veröffentlicht werden. Mit dem Update sollen nicht nur diverse Fehler behoben werden, sondern auch neue Inhalte kommen. Spieler dürfen sich über die zwei neuen Spielmodi Permadeath und drop-everrything-on-death freuen. Auch diverse neue Waffen werden Bestandteil des Updates sein.

Viele Spieler dürften sich zudem über die Tatsache freuen, dass künftig nicht mehr die Spielstände verloren gehen sollten, sobald das Spiel – welches derzeit noch in der Testphase ist – gepatcht wird. Charaktere und Schiffe bleiben in Zukunft erhalten. Für Welten kann man leider kein Versprechen abgeben.

Unten findet ihr die komplette Liste mit Patchnotes.
