@posit@chitter.xyz Not played starbound, but Terraria has a problem with being balanced around the devs abilities too much. Not only do you effectively need a walkthrough to get the order you should do things in, but hardmode bosses are so hard that you'd need advance knowledge of where to find the best gear.
Also the 1 min potion cooldown, which to me is the best example of this.
TBH If I hadn't been playing on and off since launch I don't think I would get very far. Most updates just made stuff harder.
