XENA I LOVE YOU posted:It's mostly a warning for if/when a patch ends up changing so much that old saves won't work with it. It wouldn't be surprising to see at least one of them during the beta, but I doubt they would just start wiping characters for any reason other than that. It also helps cover their asses from the vocal people on their forums who can actually read. Okay, cool. I can live with that. Just some people have been talking as if there was an impending wipe looming over us all, and I doubt I could enjoy playing with that certainty hanging over my head.

So the game has definitely met my expectations and was $15 well spent, but I think the best plan now is to put it down until the new year. You can really feel the content gaps in places and I don't want to lessen the experience too much.

Does anyone know where I can find an ABC file for Dvorak's 9th Symphony? This is very important, and none of the abc sites listed have it.

So I seem to have found some sort of tech blueprints for something, maybe a double jump I can't tell, how do I use them? I tried dragging it into the Tech slots in my inventory and nothing, I tried dragging it into the Tech device on my ship and it wouldn't take. Do I have to scan it with the 3d scanner? Also, how do you make climbing rope?

The patch seems to have fixed tech progression, so now you can go aegisalt -> ferozium -> cerulium -> violium -> rubium -> impervium

Clever Spambot posted:See if you can find bombs, they do hundreds of damage to that boss and are a common early lootable. I found a spawner and now a tool merchant lives in my ship. He sells flares, ropes, and bombs. I have a feeling that ready access to unlimited bombs (given enough pixels) is going to change the dynamic of the game a little. For the better, of course. There is absolutely no way that Dr. Sunshine sweeping in amidst a cloud of rainbow sparkles to hurl old-timey bombs everywhere like some kind of anime magical girl Waluigi could possibly be anything other than the best thing ever. robziel posted:So I seem to have found some sort of tech blueprints for something, maybe a double jump I can't tell, how do I use them?

Put the tech blueprint on your hotbar and use it like a tool. You'll "learn" it and can then equip the tech from the console in your ship.

You are not alone. I find that in almost any game where it's possible to pick things up and put them down in other places, one of the most fun things to do it to pick up as many as possible of a certain kind of thing, and put them all in one place. In Skyrim, it was cabbages.

I asked this earlier but it seems to have gotten lost to the early rush, but do trees respawn? I've nearly clearcut my starting planet and I'm worried about fuel!

Just started, and I seem to be too stupid to feed myself. I made a campfire, and have two pieces of raw alien meat. The crafting menu has no option to cook it though. I even clicked on the food icon, and nothing is there.

Coal also works as fuel. You could always spend whatever wood/coal you have and go to another planet to pick up some more and bring it home! VVV Preferably not (the bitching, not the skipping stone.) If you don't like it, there will probably be a mod eventually that spawns enough stuff in a new world to get to the highest tier right away.

So, I just found a "Gravity Bubble" tech which acts as an infinite jetpack(It doesn't seem to have an energy cost yet, or if it does, it's so low it's not noticeable). If anyone wants it, these are the coordinates and planet cluster I found them in(Beta sector):  It's in a high tech chest on the surface of either the TL11 or the TL13 Arid planet.

Shukaro posted:Here's a mod that makes the manipulator faster and one-handed, just extract into your Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound\assets folder. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kc4g3np39n14uuj/beam.zip I tossed this into my Starbound folder and now the game throws an error about a duplicate beamaxe.beamaxe file and won't load.  Oh well, I'll see if I can figure out when I get home tonight, hopefully I can get it working, I won't be able to grab the update until Monday and a speeded up MM will be a godsend for new characters. I didn't want to get in the middle of the 'caveman tier' slapfight last night, but my two cents are that, in addition to pickaxes and such, I hope at some point the MM is upgradeable, like by crafting/stealing power crystals or energy cells or whatever. I just really like the idea of having one convenient tool that does everything, it feels more scifi-ish. It's like, yes, I can carry around a communications device and a clock and a camera and a TV and a MP3 player and a weather-checking device and a browsing-the-internet device and a game console and a calendar and a calculator and then switch between them constantly depending on what I needed to do, but at the end of the day I think it's a lot more sensible and convenient just to use a cell-phone.

Zoe posted:I tossed this into my Starbound folder and now the game throws an error about a duplicate beamaxe.beamaxe file and won't load. An upgradable MM that scales with the pickaxes would actually be extremely easy to do, even right now. Modding that in would take very little time at all, I could do it myself.

So what do threatlevels roughly correspond with? The gear you get after the basic tutorial (ie: your first anvil) is 'level' 5, but there's no way TL 5 is realistic at that point.

I played a bunch of Starbound this morning after an initial screwing around yesterday. It has me by the nards now and I have hardly left the first planet. Currently getting used to the changes from terraria but I really like it. Definitely a lot of hope for the future. I wish combat was a little different, but for the most part it feels like a cool golden axe clone applied to terraria. Definitely like the variety of weapons and the names are pretty dang funny. I have hope it'll get much better. Glad to see an active dev.

I like to think that armor penetration/total armor is a more accurate comparison to threat level, at least early on it seems. With 4 to 5 armor penetration you'll be chopping off most of the enemy's health.

Party Alarm posted:Guys seriously just throw some bombs at it. They do 500 damage a piece to the UFO.  now I am out of bombs, but now I got a shield, Steel weapons (and I think a bow too?) I made from a buddy's upgraded anvil, and I am almost decked out in a full set of silver armor so I might be ready to take it on 'legitimately' soon.it is also worth noting that your character's armor value (bring up the inventory to look at your stats) and your weapon's Armor piercing value basically correspond to threat levels, so if you are running around with 5 armor then you can safely take a few hits from enemies on 4-5-6 planets without worrying about insta-gibbing  oh yeah and shields are loving awesome, now I can let things hit me once then I kill it with my one-handed sword.

I played for about an hour: built a house, hunted meat and looked for minerals. I don't know why but this game seems really good. Terraria never really hooked me but this seems to control better and apparently has more depth.

Right now you basically just have to set the planet on fire by putting campfires every ten feet.

Have they fixed quick item move deleting poo poo if containers are full yet today?? I found an overrun penal colony on a desert planet and killed prisoners for lots of stims and cash money  Interestingly the planet difficulty was 4 but the dungeon was more like 10.

I'm sure heat dynamics will eventually get to this point in the game, or at least be modded in. Furnaces don't give off a wide area of heat, do they? I haven't heard anyone mention them, but if wide enough they could be used to heat interiors of buildings.

I dunno about #1, but to place 1-tile walls you just hold shift while placing. That is also how you mine one tile at a time.
