It's pretty desolated now. The forums can be a little active if they can polish their main game ,Starbound.
I usually pop by here once a month or so just so see if they've updated anything. ...Anything. But, I mean, there is still some minor activity in even Spore's (EA's/Maxi's game) forums from the early-mid 2000's so i kind of think that death would come veeery slowly to this place as well. Especially since the game is in some ambiguous half-life. Like that guest you put in the closet after they stopped talking a year or so ago. I still play Starbound though - still one of my main games... (it still is my main game ;n;).
There is a discord? I just got here.Was unhappy with the k9 mods for Starbound, and wanted to take a stab at making my own. Figure this is a good place for beginners advice on the matter. I'm pretty good at sprite work... well, good enough to make modified copies of Starbound's tiny 30 pixel tall sprites.
Yes. There is a Discord server dedicated for Starbound (but it is not CF official server, CF has their own official server).
Because Starbound dev is not as active as Terraria dev in their own forums. Just look at the time they were last active here. No wonder many people here migrate.
I'm not entirely sure it's just because of that. Considering I'm mainly on those forums for the non-Terraria stuff, and plenty of people are.
At least when CF is active here most people will have reason to come here and hangout. Other than that, not so much, but the mods and fan art.
