What is Starbound and is it only on PC, or on console and PC?
I've heard about this game in many groups on social media and I've heard that it's really fun to play. Can anyone tell me what it is? I've been wondering this for a long time and I finally broke and wanted to ask the question.

Starbound is in development on the consoles (both XBone and PS4), but is currently only out (in a beta state) on the PC.
It is a multiplayer exploration/crafting/building game in the vein of Terraria or Minecraft. The universe is randomly generated and you can explore multiple planets, kill the alien life there, and build your own buildings.
The above image depicts an outpost, which can be accessed after repairing the engines in the initial stages of progression via warp gates located in the planetary system screen in the navigation screen.
As you travel between and explore planets, you can gain crafting materials and gain new schematics to make yourself more powerful and to unlock more sectors of the galaxy.
Mostly, it's about running around and building cool stuff while trying not to die.
