Just a quick thing on Starbound. Sal picked it up again, and I tend to have about a 50% chance of following her lead any time she does. It's much more fun to play with someone, especially scanning new things together and watching the different reactions our characters have, Sal's Avian bird lady proselytizing to my clueless and slightly cynical renegade Novakid. Sometimes the interactions are just too perfect.
Anyway, we still haven't beaten the final boss and finished the story; we've both gotten side-tracked with little projects. Sal wants to make a new base, as do I...I've spent a couple days trying to find a Hylotl city to pillage use for stuff, but eventually resigned myself to just deconstruct the entire thing for building materials; I've killed the guards and have been slowly herding the inhabitants into a corner while I take their stuff and disassemble their constructions.
Truly, I am a greater scourge than the Big Bad I'm supposed to be fighting.
Eventually I want to make a super big colony on some very dangerous world with habitation stations and biodomes and whatnot, and that's why I'm destroying entire alien civilizations for their building materials and cute stuffed animals, but that won't happen for quite some time still. My most immediate task is to fill out my ship crew with more useful persons, as it was mostly filled with soldiers and outlaws; I've since booted most of them and replaced them with a medic, engineer, and another mechanic, but I'm still looking for three different kinds of chemists (I only ever get the yellow-suited ones appearing). I'm trying to get some Protectorate achievement in the meantime for having all 7 different playable races in your ship crew, but I'm missing a Novakid, and finding an NPC village of them (or even just furniture that I can place in my colony and eventually do quests for so he joins my ship) is a long and painful process as I have visited five separate star systems and have yet to see one.
That's pretty much it, I guess.
I also sometimes just spend an hour on my farm. It's great. All I need are to find some neonmelon seeds and I'll have grown every food an unlocked every cooking recipe.
