* If you're playing a Floran, a Floran villager may casually mention that they are in trouble for eating an Apex. This suggests that any time you enter a Floran village as another race your life may very well be in danger, no matter how friendly they seem.

just a little extra fridge logic.

*** It actually won't, thanks to the tutorial mission giving you one before you even reach the ship off-world, and if you skip it, you've already got it anyways.

* Even though [[spoiler:The Ruin]] gets destroyed, [[spoiler:Asra Nox]] is still very much alive and kicking and very much racist against non-humans. Who knows what kind of plans [[spoiler:she]] would do in the future?

* Why does Asra Nox have the same techs that you do but stronger? Simple, she's a Protector gone rogue and likely modified the techs for her own use.

* Why are Novakid, who are beings made of hot plasma vulnerable to radiation? Simple, their plasma is contained in a magnetic shell generated by their brand. Ionizing radiation likely disrupts this magnetic field by inducing electrical currents.
* How can the Glitch get poisoned? The codexes reveal that their power source is a gas turbine engine powered by methane produced from bacterial fermentation. The Glitch themselves aren't poisoned but their bacteria are.

*** Except that it is, because it highlights why Glitch are breaking out of the simulation and becoming self-aware. The simulation is trying to adapt and filter the rest of the ''Starbound'' universe from the Glitch's perspective to keep them in MedievalStasis. The problem is that the rest of the universe is bigger and more bizarre than the simulation can HandWave, and the Glitch aren't stupid. A Glitch can only swallow so many AcceptableBreaksFromReality before they realize their simulated "reality" makes no sense.

* Thanks to the established library of race mods for ''Starbound'', the player character can very well hail from a race not among the ones in the vanilla game. [[DevelopersForesight The Ark gate's frame has an empty slot with a missing racial head to account for this.]]

*** Also, banishing or otherwise persecuting self-aware Glitches may make in-universe sense, given that they are by definition a subset of [[AIIsACrapshoot rogue AIs]] and the remainder of that set could very well be largely [[AxCrazy criminally insane]] or otherwise dangerous.

*** Except that that is not evidence of the simulation wearing thin, it's evidence that Glitches are more medieval than you thought: Medieval Europeans were quite happy to trade in foreign currencies and buy exotic foreign stuff, and as far as they know, Pixels are just another foreign currency and a cash register is just a foreign artefact.
