* ScheduleSlip: The game was originally scheduled for a summer 2013, but missed the deadline. The development team has now given a rough estimate as to the release date of their game for "when it's done". Thankfully, those who pre-ordered are guaranteed beta access by the end of the year. [[http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/addressing-beta-questions.33566/ The beta release was announced for December 4th.]] Unfortunately, stable updates were abandoned after February 18, 2014, with the team resorting to unstable updates, then giving up on those and releasing only nightly builds that they warned "might crash your system and kill your dog".

** Greenfinger of the Floran does not exist post-1.0, and the name 'Greenfinger' is instead used to refer to a caste of Floran wise-men who are gifted with technology. If you find the Floran sandstone statue, a Floran protagonist will say that it depicts Greenfinger.
** Fatal Robot was the boss's second game, but it was replaced. You can still atempt to spawn it, but the Shockhopper MKI will appear in its place.

** One of the mooks found on USCM ships is called a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Parasprite]].

* FanNickname: The Cheerful Giraffe update - which finally brought ''Starbound'' out of [[UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} Early Access]] - is commonly referred to as simply '1.0' by the playerbase.

Added DiffLines:

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: There are rare variants of the Poptop and Adult Poptop called the Albino Poptop and Albino Adult Poptop. Strangely, they are mostly cream and only white on their undersides, rather than being white all over. But there are many different variants of albinism, some of which only cause a partial loss of pigment and so result in blonde or brown hair. This means that is actually plausible for the Poptops to have this colouring.

* ApprovalOfGod: The devs at Chucklefish must've listened to and loved Music/DanBull's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfkNzOd-OI Starbound song]], because its instrumental would later be added into the game -- you can listen to it through the club speakers in Hylotl underwater cities, located on ocean planets.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: It was originally planned for each character to use space stations as their main base, however that idea had given way to a single, personal spaceship for each player that has all they need in terms of advanced space travel and advanced item crafting. In version 1.3 the game finally allowed you to build space stations in addition to your own ship, but it starts out fairly small, and expanding it in any fashion takes a lot of resources.

** The [[MushroomMan agarians]] were originally written to be an antagonistic race of parasitic fungi that [[ParasiteZombie infest and mutate other living creatures]], but in the final game the agarians are [[DemotedToExtra a harmless and irrelevant NPC race]], with only a few DummiedOut props alluding to their original concept.

* TrollingCreator: The devs are prone to trolling the fanbase, such as showcasing the fake Glitch AI (a busty woman with a horse's head) which was later replaced with a wizard Glitch. The horse head was later used for the Novakid AI, minus the woman's body. This has resulted in heavily mixed reactions, with most players either being amused or rolling with the jokes, but a rather vocal segment of the player base will usually voice their displeasure when they believe a joke either was in bad taste or has overstayed its welcome, such as the aforementioned Novakid AI incident.

* ThrowItIn: That whole storyline about buying stuff for Gyopi all started with what might have been either an artistic shortcut or [[ArtisticLicenceAnimalCare simply assuming that water and rocks are a sufficient environment for fish to live in]]. To start with, the author had Kagami give a few simple instructions to Inori and Matsuri on how to take care of it, simply because it was already canon. His main beta-reader explained more that there is to it (as well as assuming it lived in a bowl or tank, due to a lack of familiarity of the show). He then showed his beta a certain scene from the anime's 15th episode, to which she replied how insufficient a habitat it is.
