    YES! Friendly NPCs don't get killed to traps.

    Finally, I won't see villagers and random shopkeepers in the wild committing suicide on thorny traps, barbed wire and such.

    Also, yay, Acid Rain won't be so stinking overpowered now..

    oooo... nice. Going to love filling my collection up. Hmm... Wonder if we can get an instrument collection tab in the future, as there are a lot of those. Not really overly fond of fishing, but doesn't mean I won't do it... I would more likely go digging up bones. :nurutease:

    Good to see novakids finally getting a village to find. Only briefly checked the collections screen last night on unstable. I really like the look of it, and like I said, will enjoy fleshing it out. Great work, and will see what I can find. :nuruawe:

    So anyways, suggestion?

    Could we get some way to filter the Pixel Printer now that we have MOAR STUFF to scan?

    Doing /admin while opening the Printer sends your framerate into the single digits because there's just too much junk. Could we maybe get a Replicator-style Pixel Printer where you can change addons to shorten the lists a bit?

    Thanks for bringing back planet chat. Hopefully now the riots will end and people will settle down.

    Question. Do starbound updates often break mods? I think mine are fine, since none of it conflicts with the added stuff, but I'll have to test to be sure...

    This is awesome! Thanks Starbound Team!

    I think fluffalo should poop. As in periodically add poop objects around them. Then villagers could clean it up by putting it in designated trash bins (containers with trash label maybe?). This would farm life feel more complete. Haha.

    Just made a new character for FU mod. I put too much work into to reset the Universe to get Novakids to spawn, hopefully while playing naturally I will get to see them on unexplored planets. Collecting will be fun though may I also suggest adding a way to tell which Codex entries you are missing? Don't necessary have to spoil the titles, just leave a blank spot with "???" in it until you find the codex. Anyway great stuff.

    if i say what i think... i could get banned, so short version:

    -Good stuff
    * Novakid villages
    * Poptop does not longer require extra minning
    * Fixed a few edge cases in pathfinding (does this mean Dreadwing no longer had his new blind spots that came with 1.0?)
    * 5 bug fixes

    -Bad stuff
    * fishing, like if the game was not boring enough


    -WORST STUFF
    * No "we fixed the FPS issue" comment
    * Race selection still means you can only be novakid or human, other races are human clones
    * Unique weapon race crafting has not returned yet

    Damn, I was in the middle of Frackin Universe too. Could've waited until at least another Dungeon + Planet + Tier 7 has been prepared(in vanilla) before releasing this patch for more vanilla goodness.

    Edit:
    That's Racist.
