So does this game have Jetpacks?

[Mr.RED]

Does StarBound have jetpacks or not? I see a thread saying they would be cool to have -back from 2014, but then I see no other evidence to say they were added.

any info on jetpacks? is there an upcoming mod for it?

[tamorr]

there is a mod for a vehicle that flies... does that count? I think it was the explorer mod, or maybe another one... Can't remember which one it was, but there is one with a vehicle that you can use to get around in the air. :)

In vanilla about all you got are jumps. Beta had techs that let you fly and do cool stuff like dash across a planet. But that all got removed, except for dash which got nerfed into the ground.

no. Afaik, there was plans to add dem, but... you know.

Maybe Im wrong. There are lot of features left unreleased, so - I may be wrong

Yeah, buddy! Rocket boots are close enough for me.

I didn't even think of that, and I should have since I own Terraria. I just haven't played that in forever. (It's making me think this game just ripped ideas from T. in every way it could, lol.) But I'm glad you mentioned that. thanks.

It's even worse. Most of your deaths will be from falling damage on all stages of the game.

Its hard to die from fall damage if you go the multi jump tech. Don't be a rocket jump or pulse jump peasant and you'll usually be fine.

If you own terraria and enjoyed it - dont buy this game. Its much worse for anyone, who played terraria. In any way - content, optimisation, ever AI

you can get the phase tech mod, that both gives you the ability to fly and go through walls. (at least in unprotected areas. your torso is tangible in protected areas. great for building, just watch out if you're using it in your ship, you can fall to the death zone quite easily if you're not careful.)

All we need is a "classic butterfly boost" mod. This way you can really fly. But we already have a no cooldown dash mod that works almost like flying, and it's how we explored the worlds back in the early betas.

Back them, you would spam -> -> or <- <- in the air to glide across the map. It works the same way with the mod.
