Starbound runs like absolute ass for most people. Apparently it mostly ignores your video card and runs entirely off your processor.
Starbound is a bit of a beast. During beta there were multiple, significant redesigns to core code coupled with a few crew changes. Left the internals a bit… spaghetti, for lack of a better word. Even vanilla, the game has a tendency to slog along since you’re actually running a server and signed in as a client when you play. Add on to that the fact that the engine uses chunk-loading and its scripts are frame rate dependent (when they’re loaded at all for the current and nearby chunks) and you’ve got a recipe for an unstable experience. And that’s before you even start talking about mods or the drama during beta.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Starbound. Wouldn’t have made and contributed to as many mods as I have if I didn’t. But when people complain about Warframe’s spaghetti code, I just sit back and laugh in Starbound.
On another note, Kirby is still best boi.
