You can use the button to return to your ship while on the surface of a planet as well. To see your current quest click the yellow exclamation on the right side. Any information here is subject to change as the game is patched, but we’ll try and stay on top of it! Please note that sandbox games are constantly being updated, and especially while in early beta Starbound is receiving major updates every few days. While exploring and figuring things out on your own is highly encouraged in a free form game such as this, these tips will help guide you on the right direction and hopefully answer some “How do I do that” common questions. Though Starbound shares many of the basic gameplay concepts and features of its predecessor and other sandbox games, it also offers a host of new mechanics not readily available as the community still builds the wiki page based on this brand new playable beta. What you may not know is how to actually do anything once you’ve jumped in.

Starbound’s beta is upon us and unless you’ve been living under a rock on a distant procedurally generated planet, you know that it’s the highly anticipated successor to Terraria.
