Planet Centauri has a complex event system allowing you to create traps, spawn enemies and create complex mini games without coding.
Currently, more than 20 different type of events and triggers exists.
Event are like functions and perform a specific action. Triggers can emit different type of signals, and be connected to any other Event/Trigger:
Zone triggers: Coming / Leave / ViewEnter / ViewLeave / ComingZone / LeaveZone
Combat triggers: Spawn / KillMonsters / PlayerGetDamages / Challenge / Open
Misc triggers: Counter / Switch / Chrono / ChronoLocal / PreciseTimer / Dice / HourChanged
Event dispatching triggers: Hub / HubFilter / Dispatch / TimedDispatch
BlockPattern to detect shaped structures (useful to make puzzles)
DropItemsSouls
CreateBlocks / DestroyBlocks / CreateDecorations / DestroyDecorations / Indestructible
SpawnRope / SpawnTree / SpawnBall / SpawnLava
Unlock / GenerateItems / ObjectAttributes / TriggerAttribute / AddAttributes / DisableLight

Steam workshop is not supported, but the game can be extensively modified.
Any item in the game can be edited through text based configuration files in the PlanetCentauri/assets/moddable folder.
You can add blocks, decorations, or any visual element without knowing a programming language.
For more complex systems, like monsters or entities, the Lua programming language is used (like in Factorio, Hades, Don't Starve, Roblox, and a lot of games).
The current limitation is the lack of a mod manager. This leads to potential problems and collisions between entries, and you have to distribute your mods manually.

I have owned this game since forever ago and seen lots of updates roll through over the years. The most interesting part of this game in my opinion is and always has been, the ability to capture the monsters that spawn in the world and use them to help you fight. Also, the ability to transform into them, if you take it one step further. Back, years ago. It didn't feel too painful to accomplish this. But gradually, over time. It has become harder and harder to achieve. Seemingly as if the dev thinks that making it harder makes it more desirable to achieve. But playing it again, now that it looks like it might have recieved its' final update. I am utterly disappointed. I spent several hours mining and quit the game because I got barely anywhere and it felt so monotonous. The terrain has many shapes, which honestly looks pretty cool. But it also makes it so you need to mine out so many tiny elevations to get anywhere. And the more you have to deal with it. The more annoying it gets. it takes so fcking long to mine the blocks. If you have coal or some kind of mineral to find, it is usually exciting in these kinds of games. But in this one; mining the mineral doesnt remove the block. Which makes the already long time it takes to mine to get anywhere, take even longer. I found myself actively avoiding ore, even thought it might be useful later. Because I wanted to get to the monster taming part. I wanted to get amethyst to get my monster journey started. But. The rate of which Amethyst spawns appears to be lower than it used to be. Also. Since many updates ago. I have not had it drop from enemies, like I initially saw, back years and years ago. Amethyst is what you need to make a table to make capture gems. You also need a bunch of amethyst to make the gems themselves. You need multiple tier 1 gems to make tier 2 gems. Do you see where I'm going with this? The game gets boring and tedious before you even get to the good part. The part that the game that in my opinion, should be focused on. The part that sets this game appart from other games in the same genre, like Terraria. The game is honestly boring now. Which is ultimately disappointing. Because I used to get excited to play this each day. But that will likely never be the case again.
10 years development and it’s just a poor and very bad Terraria clone. The movement is just so weird and practilly no use for them and after all the time i played i didnt needed to use any of them becouse weapons doing more demage than any of that. The mob spawn rate is a joke monsters are everywhere, and they spawn so fast that getting through any biome without dying is nearly impossible, without constantly using healing potions. You often get cornered or stuck between monsters leading to constant insta deaths. There’s a small tutorial but, half of the mechanics have no explations at all, forcing you to constantly alt-tab to a Wiki or use YouTube, just to understand basic mechanics and features in game. Mostly you cant even find it on Wiki becouse its simply not there or it doesnt exist. this game should give me a degree in electrician, and mechanics, how unnecessarily difficult is it, example: magitech. Even after a decade, it feels like an unfinished, unbalanced mess that keep randomly crashing for no reason. Don't waste your time on this one and get something better its waste of time and it has no story.
A fantastic game, but It's such a shame that Valve screwed the pooch and messed up the release. I sincerely hope the developers find the incentive to continue working on this game - I've been looking forward to both the release and the following content updates for years now. 10/10 would recommend.
The special features, like creating your own spells and using monster capture gems, aren't possible to really play with without endless hours of mining for resources, the same grinding that you've seen in every other 2D mining and crafting game. By the time you've found enough resources to meaningfully try anything interesting, you'll already have explored everything worth seeing. And you'll wish everything required half as many resources as it does. Also, as others have pointed out, there's a partial absence of Quality of Life features and partial absence of information and a definite presence of glitches. (You can't split a stack of items in half, so feeding my chickens requires a hundred clicks to distribute their food! Mana regeneration is unbelievably slow, despite magic being a big focus, so that's more disincentive to experiment! What on Earth is going on with weapon upgrades and item scarcities!) Those all add friction, but are forgivable on their own. It's a wiki game, but there's not enough of a community for an adequate wiki to exist. It might be more fun for you if you have a huge appetite for this kind of game. It has bad ideas, but only a few. It has good ideas, but only a few. Maybe I missed something, or failed to find the intended entry point to engage with the systems just right, but 15 hours of Waiting For The Good Part To Begin is my limit.
(ง ͠ ᵒ̌ Дᵒ̌ )▬▬ι═══════ﺤ Just buy terraria at this point This could have been a great game, unfortunately it´s a mess, and I am very sorry to say that. The game has a terrible identity crisis. showing different mechanics mashed into a not quite clear plaster: - Pokemon mechanics: capture different monsters with different rarities - Classic RPG mechanics: item rarity that can be upgraded - Minecraft mechanics: XP gained by killing monsters as experience orbs - Terraria mechanics: the inspiration of the game - Your engineering bachelors first week mechanics: pulleys, binary code, cogs and wheels (weird if your into that stuff) - Star dew valley mechanics: farming an infinite variety of crops, plant trees, taking care of cattle, etc. Everything sounds really nice, but at the end all of them, feel unpolished or without purpose Now some important aspects: - Unfinished game, with many items even unnamed, without description or use - Dev doesn´t care anymore, abandoned the game - Excruciating gigantic world (aprox 1000 linear cubes to reach the hell biome - 10 minutes of pressing the mouse) - Crahes and Bugs, a lot of bugs, ♥♥♥♥ so many that even Timon and Pumba would be shouting in ectasis - You have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea what are you doing, how things work, or what is even the objective, there is an empty wiki somewhere drifting on the internet but not even the community cares. Yes, it comes with a bible of instructions that are not very clear (♥♥♥♥ stuck in the washing machine once) Anyway that all, have fun ( ^_^)/
Starbound done right A fair alternative to Terraria for those leaning more towards adventure and exploration
Pontos positivos. É um jogo que da pra gastar bastante tempo, lembra muito terraria na jogabilidade, mas possui um sistema de energia e automações bastante interessantes e complexas, Outra coisa legal é que da pra capturar os monstros igual estilo palworld, e também transformar neles e montar, vc faz uma caverna pras capturas ficarem procriando ovos, e depois coloca pra chocar, decora a caverna para uparem mais rápido. Possui também criação de vaca e galinha e bastante plantações, muitas bancadas de conversão/criação de itens. Além disso o jogo abre e carrega sua fase numa velocidade extremamente rápida. Pontos Negativos/A melhorar. Inicialmente o motivo por eu ter dado não recomendo (que pode mudar conforme atualizações e melhoras do jogo) é porque o jogo fecha e da crash com muita frequência, no momento dessa postagem, eu havia acabado de matar um boss (difícil), chegado na base, feliz olhando os itens novos, o jogo simplesmente fechou. E isso acontece com muito mais frequência no multiplayer que ainda está no beta, e multiplayer, vc não consegue guardar os itens no baú apertando shift + botão do mouse, o jogador que joga no seu mundo perde o mapa toda vez, e o jogador que entra crasha toda hora. E o pior de tudo, quando crasha o rollback é sempre grande, vc perde tudo que fez por quase hora. Os aldeões que vc consegue, podem fazer algumas coisas, mas são coisas extremamente inúteis que não compensa de ser feito até onde vi, o guardião fica matando os wisp e galinha, não vem mais nada de monstro na base. Elementos extremamente bugados, peguei um morcego com eletricidade, ele mata tudo só de passar, transformar em voador com isso é muito OP. Dicas todas inglês, não possui tradução, brasileiro jogando isso vai ficar muito perdido, tem muita coisa complexa para pouca explicação. OBS: EU selecionei português, não era pra estar inglês as dicas. Poucos Minérios. Tem apenas 6 barras que me recordei até o momento. Falta algum botão ou forma de guardar os itens nos baús próximos, sem acessar um por um, pois o jogo possui muitos itens..
Can't help but compare this to terraria although this does a lot of things that separates it far from terraria. There are vastly different variants of the same enemy which adds a lot of chaos to keep you on your toes. The difference between a divine enemy and a regular is night and day. Killing or capturing them offers great rewards too. The mechanic gear system is very interesting however I wish there was more we could do with it. Autofarms aren't entirely self automated which I appreciate since my take on autofarming is there should be some level of player input so the game doesn't feel like it can play itself. Being able to capture enemies, train them, breed them, give them skills, and so many being so different from each other makes for a pretty cool monster collector. Armor sets aren't just stat buffs but skills integrated into sets. For example, the miner armor gives you a throwable exploding pickaxe that nukes walls and enemies short range. The iron set gives you a giant spike ball that can be summoned and then launched with its hammer skill to smash enemies in a row. Armor sets having such diverse identities adds a lot of useful variety. In terraria you're replacing armor sets constantly as you progress but here I feel the different armor sets are always useful for different situations. There needs to be a faster way to swap them though. Weapon enchanting/relics is very cool. Gear is leveled as it's used and can be reforged which gives new life to a lot of gear. The cooking system is absolutely ridiculous with a ton of foods and so many crops to farm. There are crafting chains for food and refinement for some items. Animal taming is deadly but a lot of fun engaging with. I haven't played a game before where I got killed by a cow this many times while trying to kite it to a taming pen. It's a fast charging mount though which is both funny and legit useful. WAR.COW. There is a character progression skill system and combos tied to it if you choose to use the combos, for example there is a rising screw attack right out of metroid in this. The sword flurry attack that sends you flying is awesome too. Ground slams, uppercuts etc. The magic crafting is pretty ridiculous too. This easily has the deepest magic smithing system i've ever saw in a game. Want a fireball? nice. Want a fireball that travels at mach 10, hits a surface, splits into some crazy exploding flower pattern fireball that splits into a hundred directions while chain exploding as it hits more surfaces and enemies? faster? bigger? MORE fireball explosion chains? crazy stuff and that's just fireball, there are so many other magics you can craft with to make your magic YOUR magic. I'm having a lot of fun with this.
buen juego espero que sigan actualizandolo
yea bad
