Does the large spinning pixel chest thing not kill you yet?

[SWK]

I haven't played starbound in months. When i last played, the large spinning pixel thing did damage to you 99 times out of 100. Has this changed?

its still worthless and mostly damages you

even if you do manage to get a buff it lasts like 30 seconds and you'll never use it in time.

The container you speak of is mostly a gamble... Most of the time I've used it, I've gotten poisoned, burned, or even exploaded to death. But, it does give some good benefits every now and then that include jump boosts, speed, and even sometimes makes you glow. But as I said, I've mostly seen it hurt and/or kill me :<

Because of that, I generally avoid activating them.

Dammit. Those things look so nifty. Like, "I'VE HIT THE MOTHERLODE", then it slaps you in the face. I wish they'd at least change it to something that doesn't hurt you 99% of the time. I don't care if it just disappears. It looks like it's supposed to be valuable, but i'm being conditioned to think it's a trap.
