Category:Procedural Generation

Starbound uses "Procedural Generation" for many of the things in the game, from Guns to World Generation to Monsters! Procedural Generation means that the game takes a supply of 'parts', randomly puts them together semi-logically, assigns relevant Code (whether it be Stats, Colors, AI, etc.) to the creation, then places it in the game. This creates enormous amounts of variety & types of stuff to explore & find in the game, making for a deep game playing experience.
