Starbound will have what they're calling a "major" livestream on their twitch channel tomorrow at 5pm London time.
Also, as of this morning, the "unstable" branch of the game is feature complete. If you're in a hurry, you can start a character on unstable and play through the entire story. You should be able to migrate the character and universe over to stable when the full game comes out.
ADMIN UPDATE: SERVER IS UP! Server info here: http://www.theskjaldborg.com/index.php?threads/starbound-server-is-live.11221/
First mod suggestion. Nothing game breaking, but a MASSIVE quality of life change. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=729427606
Great mod suggestion... Now if only they could expand it so that you could use crafting items from within a storage container, e.g. a fridge when cooking...
Given that it got a couple of likes from players, does anyone have any objections to me installing that mod on the server tonight? I'll test it on my own machine first of course.
