I've seen some creepy and exotic and weird things roaming around, from giant otter things that make fart noises to vicious Barney looking dinosaurs to smiley wall-eyed turtle things, but my buddy went back to his house to heal up in bed when he first encountered these magnificent bastards coming out of nowhere to mince on and stare at him through his roof: Maybe there is something in a save file with a code of the randomly generated monsters, so we can choose the ones we like and reinsert them later.

I hope as a Floran I can make everything because I can't be any other race, it's too much fun to play the real theme of our people and just make comments about murdering and/or eating everyone.

Before you leave the planet, please go to the pilot seat at your ship and give us the coordinates and planet name - I'd like to add it to the google doc, these places have cool loot

My starting planet had an electric platformer thing like that but the lightning did no damage to me. I assumed that was a bug at the time and just walked to the end to get the double jump tech.

It's a bug that's fixed in tonight's patch. e: Before anyone makes the same mistake I did: Do NOT try to build a hellevator immediately on your spawn point. The 'warp down' animation stops before you get to the bottom and the planet becomes useless because you die when you spawn on it.

I've been playing some multiplayer with a friend. This is our base. I found an outhouse in an underground Glitch mine, so in true goon fashion we put some poo blocks under it that I found in a sewer.  edit:  I fixed the poop because it wasn't realistic enough.  VV I don't think so, as far as I know it's purely cosmetic. I think it has to do with light level and biome. Smoremaster fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Dec 6, 2013 |

So wait, you guys are listing coordinates to planets, but when I check celestial.config there is a Sector Seed designated to the generation. Aren't seeds usually the thing that determines random generation? How does this even work

It's essentially like having infinite Minecraft maps available that everyone can share throughout each others universes. You may have generated a completely different universe from your friend, but you can share planets between them with no problems. It "finds" the coordinates and generates the planet associated with them.

How does this even work The planets are generated via sector seed, but since the sector seed is the same for each person, going to the same coordinates gives the same result (a planet)

If I build something on a planet, do not set it as home, fly away from it, then re-enter the coordinates later, will my stuff still be there?

Assuming you're hosting on Windows, press Windows key+R, type cmd and press enter, type ipconfig in the command prompt, you connect via your IPv4 address.

So just wondering, how many of you have set a home planet yet? I've just been blinging out my shuttle so far, but I wanted to know if the majority of players preferred a more expansive area for their base of operations.

Fortunately they're lowering the pixels needed to craft stuff. Raiding villages seems to be a good way to get a bunch of pixels at once, though.

Is the server completely up? The first time running it can take a while to generate the world. It should say "shutting down world alpha:" and then a string of numbers when the server is ready, apparently because the world unloads if nobody is playing. edit: An Unoriginal Name posted:Assuming you're hosting on Windows, press Windows key+R, type cmd and press enter, type ipconfig in the command prompt, you connect via your IPv4 address.

Only the external works for whatever reason. v  v

I just realize I can make pretty much an infinite number of wheat seeds with a single pixel.

I dug aaaallll the way down to the very bottom of an absolutely enormous TL29 desert planet And I'm still finding nothing but Iron and Copper and Coal  The highest ore I found on the entire way down was a deposit of 3 gold, and 17 silver ore. Where the hell are you guys finding Platinum/Titanium? That diamond pickaxe was full durability when I started digging down, by the way  Also, I found a pretty major bug that I'm sure a few others have found as well. When you get to the Lava layer, foreground tiles stop spawning, every block is filled with lava, but ore can still spawn. If you place, for example, a dirt block in the lava, any ore in that tile will then be found inside the dirt block. You can use this to tunnel through the lava - so you could go straight through huge deposits of ore digging through only dirt or mud or other weak substances. Wasn't very effective in my experience but if you looked around enough you would probably have some luck. e: I assume this same strategy would work for building underwater structures too; it clears liquids when you dig up whatever you placed; though I doubt there's ore underwater. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Dec 6, 2013 |
