We've tried (hiring younger people) before, but it's not possible to hire people under the age of 65 in this field.”The issue is a political headache for President Yoon Suk-yeol. That's why we recruit senior citizens over 65. It's a job for the elderly, and if it's gone, the elderly have no place to work.”Free rides have been a perk enjoyed nationally by those 65 and older for four decades and are credited with keeping senior citizens active.However, some cities are now threatening steep fare hikes or to raise the eligible age unless the national government shoulders some of the cost.The finance ministry is staunchly opposed.It says it has funded building and improving subway systems, and the cities should shoulder operating costs.In December, Seoul unveiled plans to hike fares by as much as 30%, although free rides for the elderly will remain in place.Bae Ki-geun is the owner of Silver Quick Subway Delivery Service, where Park works.he says his business doesn't work without free tickets.“The recruitment criteria were set based on current subway fares (free ticket for seniors), because delivery work requires employees to travel a lot by subway and it costs a lot. The Seoul Metropolitan Government should think a lot about this. If we have to pay for the subway, we will have to think about alternative (jobs). STORY: Every day, 71-year-old Park Gyung-sun rides the sprawling subway of livering flowers, documents and other packages around the South Korean capital.People call this sort of work 'Silver Delivery' because its popular among senior citizens,who are entitled to ride the city's networks for free.Park can earn up to $550 a month due to the lack of transportation costs.However, as South Korea's popular rapidly ages and it gets more expensive to run the subway.these free rides have become a thorny political issue - putting Park's job in peril.“We're a bit nervous if we are asked to pay for a metro ticket. Though this won't impact most players, it a thoughtful touch for Starbound modders who would otherwise need to update their mods to match the new version number each time Brice's team adds a new carnivorous plant creature to the game. "The pace is really going to pick up."īrice also notes that these more frequent content updates will not increase Starbound's version number. We'll also be adding the best/most fitting mods to the game with increased frequency," added Brice. "The artists have been working on a bunch of new content that's pretty much ready to go as soon as this is done. This also means engine updates will get additional internal testing." Content updates are going to be pushed to the server as and when content is finished being produced, we're no longer going to wait on engine updates to push them out at the same time. "Essentially we're separating content updates and engine updates. "The programmers have been putting the finishing touches on the system we're going to use to push updates more frequently," wrote Starbound creator Finn "Tiy" Brice. In a blog post celebrating the acquisition of a new office space, the developers behind Starbound claim that having all of their personnel under one roof will allow the studio to issue more frequent content updates for the sandbox exploration game.
