What I Miss Most from Minecraft

If we do require food in the future, I would like to be able to make the slaves harvest and grow the crops.

That will only end in trails of tears.

No objections - as long as they have a chance to rise against and eventually overthrow their masters.

Might actually make for some interesting gameplay - secretly running guns to the oppressed labourers of your favourite neighbour, or picking them up and help them escape... ;)

The scope and scale of projects in starmade tend to be much larger and more complicated than in minecraft. As a result, having to periodically interrupt building your capital ship or station with mandatory farming/eating breaks would make the game much, much worse. I would really not like to see pretty much any of the ideas in this thread implemented, I much prefer the direction the devs are taking it.

First, Schema said specifically that there are no plans to include any 'hunger' mechanics. You will never have to stop everything and eat. Food, if implemented, will provide bonuses and not be required.
By the time you are building a capital ship you should have spent time automating your farming in some way. Whether that is enslaving the farmers or building a robot factory is to be determined. Since ship mutinies are planned, I see no reason why stations or planets can't revolt as well. Anyway, you shouldn't have to drop everything to go maintain your farms.

Even in minecraft most everything could be completely automated if you put the effort into it. That is when MC starts to get boring, when everything is automate and there isn't anything left to do. This usually results in starting over(ssp) or turning into a jerk, torturing newbies and blowing things up for the hell of it(smp). (heaven forbid you actually play co-op and help your fellow players)

The thing I hate most about minecraft is the mandatory pvp and the micro transactions to opt out.

This "booster" item doesn't actually exist, so what it requires or doesn't require could be anything or nothing. In minecraft you have to build XP farms, enchantment tables, book cases, and not die, in order to maintain the boost that enchantments give you, you also have to replenish their durability after a while, so it's not exactly the "easy" button you imply it is. It takes a lot of work to establish that end game gear, it should be the same in starmade, you have to build proper ships to gain these boosters, and you have to maintain your ship properly in order to keep them.

To be honest, I posted this idea prior to reading the future plans for starmade, so I didn't know the NPC progression was planned, having the ship progress is kind of redundant if they're already going to have that.

StarMade will NEVER be like minecraft. Devs wants other features. Players don't want any minecraft-like game (that are all poor games, for the whole-copies of minecraft). I only play minecraft modded, and mostly in LAN, because minecraft lacks of any long term feature, especially for a player who hadn't too much time to play.

And if you think enchants as in minecraft are a balanced feature... so please go to CS or COD, StarMade isn't another easy-to-win game, you cannot just earn a booster and "OMG I'm twice OP!!". I always hate these PVP players who just spend their poor life in fighting on the most easy way, even in the protected-zone sides just to KILL KILL KILL. And the game doesn't help fresh players with enchants. It's just my minds, but buying minecraft is just a waste of money. Even StarMade in this Alpha stage is better in long-term features.

So it's not against you, badmojo, but you can't say boosters AS YOU DESCRIBE are a good feature. I think I've written many language errors, I'm not english, sorry ^^

It's nothing against me, but in your words I should go play Counterstrike or Call of Duty, because I need an easy to win game where I can become OP. I spend my poor life fighting in the easiest way.

Yeah, you made a few mistakes, but your ignorance towards other people and their tastes, comes across loud and clear.

OK I wrote this because I'm bored of people who wants more minecraft-like or easy-to-win features, happy?

You can blame me for the CS and COD, but for the rest you are just too much likely.
I never say that YOU have a poor life etc... You just see yourself in my words.

I'm sorry for this mistake that's as your as mine, I'm sorry to react as violently, but I said what I think about your idea.

Am I happy that the reason you're acting like a dick is because you dislike minecraft and have a personal vendetta against anyone who dares to suggest elements of that game could possibly work in this one? No, that doesn't really make me happy.

You came into a thread that was clearly marked as being tied to Minecraft, then singled out my post and started to belittle my ideas and insult what you assumed I looked for & valued in a game. Then when I call you out on it, you act like these direct statements towards me are just your general opinions, and it's my fault for taking it personal because I'm just 'seeing myself in your words'.

No, I'm seeing your in your words, and I really don't give a crap what you think anymore. It's clear you cannot have a civilized conversation with someone you disagree with, so please just stop talking to me. I don't want to get any infractions from giving you a piece of my mind, you're just not worth it.

I don't insult you, or I didn't want, but you, you did it

I maintain that I really don't say all these things about you, I just judged THESE PVP players that seems to haven't any life except killing others players.
So I don't say that I assumed you want EXACTLY this, and that you value this, you just had a bad comprehension of my post (and I assume it's my fault too).

And as far as I know, I'm talking with you with arguments (these that REFERS to you), you just don't understood and took "insults" for you.

Soooo... I understand I had a bad start, and I'm sorry for all of that, I'll attempt to explain my PoV: ^^

• Like in minecraft, this kind of boosters can be unbalanced.
• As said, hunger isn't a goal in starmade.
• In starmade, devs promote cooperation, so this is useless since fire power isn't as important as specialization (or multi-purpose).
  
• Look other posts and you'll see that this isn't a needed feature.
