1) How do I delete a character?

Go to your Starbound folder in Steam and there should be a folder called Player, go into it and delete the appropriate *.metadata, *.player, and *.shipworld files. (They won't be named after your character so you might have to open the .player file up and look near the top between the jibberish for the name.)

Of if you have one character, delete the 3 files.

So I've got myself in a pickle. I loaded up my fuel cells with wood and transported to another planet. I've reached the planet but can't beam down, I just return to the teleporter pad. I also don't have enough fuel to go somewhere else. HELP!

You may need to join a multiplayer game and bum some fuel off another player.

This seems to be a bit of a bug with the new update. Just keep trying to teleport down, you'll eventually land on the planet.

So my Megaman level (from page 7) I finished it using some extra block shenanigens. It had a double jump tech at the end. The Apex lab is to the left of spawn a little ways, nothing tough spawned on it when I played the planet but I don't know if monster gen is random or with seed.

Just remember to restart steam after you do it.

I don't think I ever got a message saying Steam was going to get compatibility settings applied to it, but I am running on Win7 x64, and all the tricks I've tried so far to help improve FPS have been marginal at best. Gonna give this a go when I get home tonight, thanks for posting!

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think it's pretty lame that you can spend so much time farming materials for a distress beacon only for an alien space ship to destroy literally everything you've built up.

It does tell you to be ready for anything, you were not ready.

I went to another planet to test it out, but if I were doing it on my home planet, I'd build a big underground concrete bunker to live in first.

What's the goal behind building the beacon / summoning aliens anyway? Do you continue to progress to a Bigger Beacon? I've seen a lot of people bitching about it but not anyone talking about what then happens.

Spoilers maybe, I dunno I'm just curious.

Go on good sir, you have my full attention.

If it's not already this should be in the OP.

I'm seriously torn, I have two legendary 2 handed weapons, but shield requires a one handed weapon, and dear god a shield is such a lifesaver. If no one has tried one yet I highly recomend it. It blocks fire and bubble breath and brings rifle fire down to one damage while up.

I found a firey one handed sword that lights the area when swung (and the whole room when an enemy is on fire) I just light them and turtle up. I've been holding my own in a level 5 world with just the iron Floran armor

What kind of equipment should you have to face the UFO? I'm in silver armor but lvl 6+ stuff can still gently caress me up pretty quick. I haven't managed to find any good weapons at all either, they're all garbage. Stuck using a poopsword that poisons people.

As far as I can tell, you pretty much just need bombs, and luck. The UFO is a placeholder boss that's meant to be from much further on in the game, you just have to get stronger until you think you can take it, then try.

When you kill it, it drops the material needed for the next level of anvil, which you can use to build the thing that lets you get to the Beta sector.

I had full racial Iron armor + a 10 ArPen sniper from that planet that's in the gdoc.

In fairness, I can hold my own on a level 10 world with partial copper armor (or no armor) using a legendary bonehammer, defence is very helpful but being able to knock anything you hit flying with a shockwave if it doesn't kill them immediately tends to make most enemies fairly moot.

Shields are great but if you can dodge at all, a two handed weapon is probably better, unless you're fighting people with guns. Not getting hit because everything is dead/being launched into orbit tends to beat armor, given that healing is quite difficult.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
Oh hey, if any of you wind up with a clunker of a starting world, this place is pretty neat:



Good amount of ore (including passable deposits of silver), lots of fairly deep cave systems, and a big ol' Glitch village not far to the left that has some weapons and musical instruments including (for me at least) a harp and harmonica.

Is it just me or are random cave systems completely bare-bones? I spent about 3 hours playing across several planets, and it seemed like no cave system was very long, and the most I got out of them was surface ores and those little things you break for 5-10 pix. Just walking across the surface was better in basically every aspect.

Sorry, guy.
For those of you who are still noobish, but wish to go to cool places:



It's a desert planet, decent wood and coal. Iron on the surface in abundance, and if you head to the left there's a Glitch Merchant and then a cool Glitchy Futuristic Pyramid thingy. Seems big.


{fake edit] While I'm poastin'... how the hell do I switch my nav map to Beta Sector? Do I have to accomplish anything first?

I believe that is part of the point of constructing the distress beacon. Your ship cannot transit between sectors by default.

Just walking across the surface was better in basically every aspect.

I once found a somewhat long cavern made out of meat and bone located under a desert planet. There was some iron here and there, but I did find some gold near the bottom and that's the only place I've ever seen it other than chests. I don't know if Gold even spawns on the surface, and I've never, ever seen platinum or diamonds anywhere ever.

Also I have a quick question; How the hell do you survive on a Moon biome without building campfires every five feet? Is there a parka you can make or something to survive extreme cold temperatures?
