What's my next armor step after the steel racial set? I've got nothing I can build at the robot work station or forge and I'm a bit lost. I've been able to snag a pretty good weapon, but the things I'm able to one shot also one shot me. EDIT: Oh, I guess Platinum and such have shown up. Is there any reasonable way to locate these ores in decent quantities? Digging around is pretty painful. Schwack fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Dec 7, 2013 |

I was wandering what I think was Arakkis and basically ran into a Glitch Medieval Castle. They said I couldn't come in, even though I was a Florian with a mushroom on my head, so I murdered them all for the indignity of not at least sending out some food. I got a keytar. Such is life in the zone.

So, are 1-handed weapons rare, or am I just stupidly unlucky? I'm sitting on a pile of nearly 20 swords, spears, axes, and hammers that all require both hands to wield. Don't get me wrong, I love stabbing things on fire, but it makes cave exploration a little tedious.

can I create something on a planet with one player and then visit that planet with a different player and see the changes? obviously not on different servers, but how about single player?

It seems like there are no 1-handed weapon drops in the current version of the game, which is a huge bummer as I really like my shield. I'm hoping they change this soon.

Kanos posted:You can most definitely get 1H weapon drops, they're just substantially less common than two handers. I get both equally regularly, so I guess it's luck based  I don't like using the one handers tho, I just stick to hammers because they have a lot of reach and a nice attack arc. I bought a blueprint for a pretty nice hammer in one of the towns. It's called "Brick on a stick" and I love is.Also I've been trying to figure out what the damage formula is, since it's pretty consistent on the same level creatures, and it's always roughly (armor pen - target level)*weapon damage*number of hands. Plus enchantments but gently caress me if I know how to tally them.

So for anyone who's been having problems caving I might be on to your problem. There's deep, like carving down to the planet's molten core on a tiny planet. And then there's DEEP, like digging twice that deep on an enormous planet and having no hope of getting to the core. Basically, unlike Terraria, small worlds DON'T have the same opportunities as large worlds. A small planet starts giving more ore once you're near the center. A large planet at the same depth under the surface will have the same amount of ore, but then you can go deeper still and get even better spawns. I'm on my Threat Level 1 starter world and silver deposits are coming about once per screen of caves, and they contain 4-10 pieces of ore. Maybe I just got a lucky world, but considering the ore has consistently gotten better (first iron was rare, now I'm swimming in it) I think I'm on to something. Also, traveling away from the spawn to the backside of the world also seems to increase ore spawns. Again, iron was really rare around my spawn area, even to a fair depth. But I found multiple deposits of 50+ pieces as I walked across my entire planet. (It had two pirate ships.)

I seriously got zero out of probably 50+ drops as 1-handers when playing on release day. I only played a little this morning though and spent most of my time mining/spelunking so maybe things have changed?

I got a tool vendor spawner, I stuck it into my printer and it said I could scan it, but it just disappeared when I hit scan, would that have spawned me a super awesome dude for my ship? I'm kind of bummed I didn't just use it.

Does anyone have any coords for a planet with sky pirates that low threat level? My weapons are garbage and I'm getting wrecked on TL 6 planets in dungeons and castles and stuff. I've literally not found a single weapon in a box and all my armor is silver or iron and I can't kill poo poo fast enough. I want a gun.

So I've learned something today - putting blocks in the lava at the bottom of the world will reveal ore. Not practical at all, but pretty funny. Found a good deal of uranium and plutonium down there, and something called solarium. They're used for fuel, unless you make them into rods, in which case they currently do nothing.

Sounds like your problem is more in your armour than your weapons. go spelunking or exploring and make yourself a set of silver armour. If you're sure the problem is weapons, then go to the highest TL planet you can handle and look for pirates to get those guns. The TL of the planet will dictate how much AP you have, which is really important.

Protip: Shields block lasers They actually seem to block just about everything. I haven't died since I started using a shield. And I died kinda often before, even with a magic weapon in hand. Really hope there'll be better 1H weapons somewhere, but yeah, shields are good! Also, what I thought to be an awesome hideout,   turned out to be a sewer system.  Yeah, I'm mining poop. What of it?

Verviticus posted:Has anyone tried a server on a home PC? How well has it worked? I ran one for myself and another goon and it was okay. If we went in opposite directions/used the dash tech then the world wasn't able to generate fast enough so we had to stop every once in a while. Not sure if that's an inherent problem or because I was doing it on my meh laptop. In other news I finally got around to decorating and organizing my ship. The piked skulls really help to give it that 'homey' feel.  I gotta say I started to have a lot more fun once I started using CE to duplicate upgrade materials and poo poo.

I typed iron, but meant silver because I'm a dumb. My helmet and pants are silver and my chest is iron. My biggest issue is running into guys who have guns. I just get shot to death before I can DO anything because the iron bow is too goddamn slow to do anything. Also, I've read that TL 7 is the lowest place to find pirates, and I can't handle TL planets if the dudes have guns.

Revol posted:Really? It's the second day of beta, haha. Haha, yeah, I was just pissed off getting 1-shot in a level-appropriate planet with the best armor I could craft, and combat's not something I can fix with a bit of JSON editing. Though this is the second day of the open beta, I was also kinda expecting to have a better armor/damage system in place after Bartwe's rigorous item tests and whatever came up within the internal beta. I guess the combat was a wee bit rushed. In other news, found a cowboy hat:  and a grassy knoll.

Does anyone who's wandered around the files have any idea where I could change the duration on the stimpack effects? Trying to figure out if I can give the red a much longer regen effect (at a slower rate), and turn the yellow into a mining helment until we un-earth an item to that that place. The duration in effects doesn't change the actual buff duration, and changing the item changes the regen rate/glow effect while the buff is up.

Tin Tim posted:Protip: Shields block lasers This. Shields are amazing. Get one AS SOON as you can. They will keep you alive and let you tackle many things that would have otherwise killed you before. Its really, really amazing how much help they are. I found there are a few really good 1h weapons to craft early on, but after that all I see dropping are 2h weapons. So I hope that gets tweaked a bit. This game is consuming me.

Whilst I was going through an abandoned Apex facility (which had Energy Dash in), I found an area made up of flesh, bone, and "corrupt" dirt underneath it, as well as a bunch of silver and gold. Being a Floran, I did the obvious thing. Here's the co-ordinates if anyone wants to check it out themselves: -52049293, -6678417, the Alpha Shedar 3184 III system, the Arid Threat Level 1 planet. The facility is to the left, you can hear the buzzing from the surface. Saigyouji fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Dec 7, 2013 |
