Starbound is actually barely discussed in this one. Not that it matters. It's utterly brilliant either way.
It hasn't been a week and someone's already put the TARDIS from Doctor Who in Starbound. The game's also got other great mods since its December 4 launch, including a new Toxic planet type and a whole new family of gathering tools, all hosted on their own dedicated modding site—and this is just the first five days.

Starbound is nearing its Beta release. The side-scrolling Terraria-like RPG which I just can't seem to shut up about just got an official blog post outlining its three-stage Open Beta program, which, according to lead developer Tiy, is "really not very far off now."
