What's up with the underground dungeon generation?

[Bonkers]

Is it just me, or are there really only a few dungeons to be generated underground (most planets - floran houses, desert planets - desert houses, snow planets - outpost). Didn't we had like rooms of all races, prisons and apex chambers before?

[Carnzoid]

It's not really clear to me if they got taken out, changed to appear in different biomes, or the spawn range changed..

Are we talking actual dungeons (bigger structures) or single rooms? Cause I've found glitch dungeons underground on both forest and desert planets, and one above-ground hylotl dungeon on a forest planet. Haven't scouted that many planets yet, though.

Iv'e played some Starbound after the combat update and can't recall finding anything except underground houses and small structures with crates. The removal of rooms and such made underground exploration really bland.

Underground rooms. The new bigger Glitch castles are actually nice in my opinion.

I agree, I always loved the little random rooms!

I actually loved the prison cells and apex chamber a little more, since I couls always have apex zombies in my ship. But the rooms had a really good variety.

I ofund a few rooms underground on desert planets, and I also found full fledged dungeons under the desert sands. the rooms where sometimes apex and someitmes avian, the dungeons that I mostly found under de desertsand were mostly Glitch ones.

On the surface I also found dungeons that went deep underground with only the entrance at the surface. Or the Apex lab that is build fully on top of the world and has no underground layers.

But the rooms were more scarse then the dungeons, and so far only found them on higher tier worlds not the basic ones.

Well, I hope I will find some rooms and underground dungeons. Say, were they also there after the combat update or just now with 1.0?

I barely touched the early versions, as I didn't wanted to get burned out or to emotional invested in OP features that could be nerfed for 1.0. So all this was after 1.0, and in fact I encountered some of this yesterday as well.

Well, this sounds pretty good, maybe exploring is fun now again. The only thing I miss from the early versions is a tech that created a bubble around you which made you bounce but needed energy to be active. It was pretty fun to jump around with it.

How many planets have you checked for underground rooms? It would be worrying if you could find almost all the content just by visiting the first 100 planets you go.

Well, I am probably wrong, since I only played a few hours of 1.0. I started this discussion, since I've only seen the same underground generation as in the combat update and there I haven't seen any underground rooms and such in 60+ hours (staple and unstaple).

Just keep in mind that a world mostly only have 1 dungeon (still have to find a world with 2 dungeons) either underground or above ground or a mix. The rooms though can be multiple per planet and depends on biome and planet type + tier I guess.

I dont mind the frequency of the big dungeons. I care about things like small racual underground rooms which can be randomly found. Do they stil exist? I haven't seen one since the combat update.

I encountered a few yesterday, so they do exist. But then again I don't know in what frequencies.
