Description
Starbound is a 2D pixel art game, but due to the way it processes things, if your CPU is not good enough the game can lag frequently. Yes, make no mistake: Starbound is more CPU-intensive than GPU-intensive, so your GTX Titan will not help the lag!

Fortunately, mods are here to the rescue. Here are some mods that aim to boost that much needed FPS.
