Playing beta builds of Starbound

I made a comment on #Starbound just now about the beta and how things changed when 1.0 came, and that went on a small tangent on how there was a tutorial on how paying customers could get access to the older builds.

Dug up the tutorial to make into a proper post if anyone would like to try: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=889624474

Amusingly and very likely unironically, it uses Starbound as the example, making it even easier to those that do try.

Also, from what I checked years back, the beta builds aren't on GOG, as the earliest build on Galaxy is around 1.0, making using Steam or at least the standalone Windows build of SteamCMD mandatory. And from what a guy I talked to some years back on Discord found, the very first builds have DRM (iirc the first 3 builds or so), while all others don't.

Also sorry for the triple-post. How I'm sending it, edits are not viable.

Been rekindling my love for this game and realized I'd enjoy a bit of merch for it around the house.

I've always been bitter missing out on the Vinyl, and between Sanshee and Yeetee the officially licensed stuff is pretty much dead. Chucklefish's own store is void of anything I could see, and even Etsy is pretty thread bare.

Where's a guy go to find something Starbound related and give his money away these days?

It starts!

UI's all over the place, and I'm trying to figure how to confirm the character creation, but to quote a certain movie, "an absolute win!"

Tbf, I didn't know what to expect when trying to run #Starbound on a #RasperryPi 5 with #Android, but glad it is responsive!

that is a spear, not a magical staff. Cuz we chose the knight class. Ngl we really wanna go mage. We have a mod called "RPG Growth" that adds 6 classes.

The vanity armor is added by Universal Wardrobe. The horns and race are Draconis.The dye is from Universal Wardrobe.

Also appie defeated a thing and got their claw. The claw is added by Betabound

Open Starbound Mobile got a fan-made Switch port

No instructions included and from my experience NRO ports aren't always straight-forward to set up, so some figuring out may be needed.

An old build of mine!
