The above description has only presented the basic elements of the game mechanics. The world of Starbound is immense, filled with thousands of diverse planets. Each one of them is different and worth visiting. All of them have unique undergrounds, treasures and elite opponents.

Focus on building grand structures , crafting better weaponry or exploration of the underground world. Starbound is like a huge playground and it is only up to you, the player, which swing you take a ride on.
