I got an idea! How about golems? Like, you build some kind of structure (Like any shape!) Then put a "Soul" (A new item, that you get from mobs) on the structure (Not too big, that would be op) and it will be a golem that attac mobs! It does not have to be any shape if that's too hard to programm! - Ruffepuffe
I think this is a nice idea! But could you change the "Soul" to a normal "Holiday Spirit" becouse there already are a soul like item in the game. But making it in any shape is hard, and it should be only special blocks... This idea is kinda hard but if i get any idea, i write it down here!
Magic has been avoided for the most part in Starbound: Souls are a bad idea. However, allied automaton are totally a possibility, though it does bring up the issue of overlap with the Glitch and the Robot boss.
A soul remover gun, what a cool weapon! It would also be nice if the golems could use weapons. But gun was a cool idea, but as The5lacker said above, souls would be a bad idea. But i said above that the "Holiday Spirit" could work like a soul, making the Holiday Spirit have more functions than adding a new item... But i would like if you could use the Holiday Spirit to make golems and use it to make weapons like, The Soul Remover Gun!
The "Holiday spirit" is for holidays, and golems arent a work from santa. Souls are just what it sounds like... souls. But holiday spirit is that happy spirit you get when it's time to celebrate christmas!
It could be a special block... and not too big and to make the arms, you have to place them a number of blocks above the ground to make it detect that it is arms, and same method for legs and stuff!
But the Holiday Spirit could work like a Soul, they maybe don't have the same name but they could do the same things. It's better using the Holiday Spirit as a Soul than adding a new item into the game. The Holiday Spirit looks like a soul thing, I thought that in the first place when i saw one. They maybe even could rename the Holiday Spirit to simply "Spirit". But they don't need to add a new item when mobs already drops a soul like "Holiday Spirit". But they maybe could add a Soul to the game, If you have a lot of Holiday Spirits (A lot becouse i have a lot of them in my chests and i just want to get rid of them) like how about 200, you can CRAFT a Soul! And with Souls you could use them to make weapons and Golems, there should be a whole new set of weapons and armors. Soul Weapons and Soul Armor! How about that! I think that is a great idea!
Then play a game with magic in it. Starbound is a Sci-Fi game, not a fantasy game. In Sci-Fi, you get robots. And given we already have a race of robot people, I'm going to imagine it'd be unlikely that we see personal robot slaves. The Glitch would take offense at that, probably challenge the offender to a duel or something.
Fantasy is closely associated with science fiction, and a number of writers have worked in both genres, while writers such as Anne McCaffrey, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Marion Zimmer Bradley have written works that appear to blur the boundary between the two related genres. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction... Why can't Starbound have fantasy in it? I thought that Sci-Fi was a sub. genre in Fantasy. and Golems aren't robots, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem! If a Golem would be a robot it could just be named a robot, but a Golem is not a robot! And i think i have seen magic in Starbound too! Becouse why can you shoot magic forces with some swords? I don't think it's all science!
Fantasy is not Sci-Fi. They CAN mix, but Starbound HASN'T. SOULS would be a terrible thing to add to the game when we already have a BRAIN EXTRACTOR. The Holiday Spirit items were for an event: They're just there as an added bonus, not a core feature. Again, if you want to play a FANTASY game, go play a FANTASY game. Starbound is not a game of magic and wizards and golems: The Sci-Fi EQUIVALENT of a golem is a ROBOT and seeing as we already have a race of ROBOT PEOPLE I'm gonna say it's highly unlikely that we'll be able to craft mindless robots that we'll be able to control. Stop trying to warp the game around your single, inane desire. Starbound will not have golems. End of story. Stop going I WANT I WANT I WANT like a spoiled little child. You want golems? MAKE A MOD YOURSELF.
Did he create the post? Did he say "I WANT I WANT I WANT" ? Didn't you say "I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT!" ? I think you are the spoiled little child, And I don't like crap flying around on the internet! You know what? Make a mod that removes golems if they are adding them!
Ah, that was YOU going I WANT, not him. My bad, couldn't keep names straight. Regardless, asking the devs to make something, and then asking me to remove it just because YOU want it makes YOU the spoiled one, kid. Especially because, as I've already said, it makes absolutely no sense in the context of the Starbound world. None. It's just something YOU WANT but are too lazy to make yourself.
Ok, im not going to argue anymore with you. I just wondered why we could not have golems in the game becouse, i thougt golems was a nice idea! You do not have to be upset ok? I'm not going to argue why there will be Golems in the game... But if anyone want golems in the game, they are free to comment that here. I could make a mod becouse i can programm, but i don't know what programming language the game is in, i just programm with game-maker for the most part, i can a little BASIC too... If you know what programming language the game is in, please comment that, thank you!
1. This is bothering me, jonnil 5lacker never said that golems are robots he said that the robots would replace them 2. Stop your freaking arguing this is a suggestion thread, b!tching about how bad each others ideas is not how this is supposed to work 3. The golems that you're suggesting do seem very fantasy-like you could maybe change it a little bit to be classified as a sci-fi thing because souls and sh!t don't work with science too well 4. Golems highly resemble guards you could make other changes to that aspect so they basically aren't "just another type of guard" 5. If you've read this far then thanks for reading and get to being useful instead of infecting this part of the internet with stupidity. Please no more average internet. EDIT: also Jonnil try and spell check your writing it's a little aggravating for a certain grammar nazi to try and read this.
Hmmm, I agree with you. im sorry 5lacker for reading your comment wrong... But i just wondered why, because i thought it would be nice with golems. But when i readed your comment quitaren12 I did understand more what he meant to say, maybe Golems are too Fantasy like. Making them more Sci-Fi would be better actualy, like guards as you said. Thanks for making me understand! But we could make a Golem mod, for them who would like golems in Starbound. But i wonder what programming language the game uses? Where can i find that? (PS. Sorry if i bothered anyone, forgive me.)
Thanks for understanding. And I'm not exactly sure where but maybe you could ask somebody who's more practiced in programming (I'm more of a writing/ design art guy ) I would suggest someone but I'm not really sure where to go after this. Maybe there's a thread on here that kinda ties into what you need.
I saw that i spelled because wrong, becouse. and maybe wrong, mayby. But it gets hard sometimes because im Swedish. I both read and spell wrong sometimes. And i spell the words in a way of how it sounds like. example maybe... when you say maybe, it sounds like mayby for me. I also write more on a phone, where the autocorrect helps me out. If there where a autocorrect like in the phone on the computer, that would help me a lot!
