So a friend and I are considering making a mod. I think I mentioned, but it kinda doesn't feel right that almost all building materials and decorations have to be looted and stolen. It could just be because this is beta, and they might have it planned so that later on you can craft them yourself, or it's possible that this is how it's meant to be -- but either way, you can't right now. So we were considering making a quick run through most of the building blocks and artifacts and seeing if we couldn't just make a bunch of recipes for them. We're probably going to try tying common decorations to the race that fits them, so you can have a bunch of starter decorations to craft, and the same with blocks. For more complex decorations and advanced building blocks, we're not sure. Maybe you learn the recipe the first time you pick one up? Making schematics for them all might work but we have no idea how to add schematics to the loot tables and stuff. What do you guys think? Anyway, I'm mainly mentioning it to see if anyone who's already dabbled in modding for Starbound knows how to add starter or on-pickup recipes. We can make the recipes easily enough, we just don't know how to trigger them to be 'learned'.

The game's in stage 1 and content is purposely gated right now, but there's already been a couple of patches and a bunch of changes/additions. Would probably suck to put it a bunch of work and then find out that all that stuff's already in the game but in one of the locked tiers or something. e: Slightly misread your post and it sounds like it isn't really that much work. Nvm then.

 I can't find any more upgrades to my current equipment. Impervium's the highest level armor in the Beta but it doesn't help on TL38+ planets. ShadowMar fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Dec 7, 2013 |

Run the Starbound launcher and click the start server button, then start the game, click multiplayer, and input your IP address (and give it to the people you want to play with, obviously). e: Anyone have coordinates for a level 30 planet with pirates? (or anything that sells guns, if anything else does)

Verviticus posted:Has anyone tried a server on a home PC? How well has it worked? I've ran a server from my home PC since release for my TS group. We have 4 people on it at all times, although tonight will probably jump up to 6-7. Just for the record it's an i5 3570k @ 4.4ghz, 16gb of ram, 120gb SSD, and not like it matters much but a 780 gtx. On this note, if I mod my game to get platinum easier as posted on the past few pages, will everyone else need to make the change to their game files as well? Or just me since I'm hosting the game?

My starter world definitely contains Floran Hell beneath the surface. A nice pleasant purple dirt with Eyelemon trees everywhere gave way to a barren brown dirt. That eventually changed into yellow sand and fine sand. It's not soil, but at least it feels good under the feet (according to inspection). That changed into cracked sand, dried dirt, and the first large sections of rock since the surface. The next four or five layers were all composed of rock. Three different, but all durable types of rock in each layer. Now I've broken into the fleshy core of Floran Hell. You can't eat this flesh. At least I've grabbed around 400 silver ore in the last hour, and gold is starting to be pretty common.

Vib Rib posted:Yeah, we're mostly just looking at things like letting Avians start with a Temple Brick recipe for like 1 sandstone and 1 stone for 4 bricks, or letting Florans craft those hanging trophy skins, or things like that. Just the inconsequential stuff you can currently only get via looting. The only thing we don't have a grasp on yet is how to make the player learn the recipes, but it can't be that hard. A blueprint creator, or more decoration vendors could go a long way as well.

Any way to compare shields? I've got a pretty weird one from a rare big monster in a planet where I shouldn't be there yet because of it's threat level, and managed to cheese it because it for some reason didn't jump over a two blocks tall ledge.

Unfortunately, they haven't yet coded in the description or statistic viewing for shields, so the only way to know it's not good enough is to get shot and then die

Anybody mentioned the huge multiplayer bug where sometimes if you party up, the leader's button won't let you warp to his ship? It replaces his name with my name and kicks me to my ship when I try to click it Makes getting together and from place to place very hard.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Found a lot of goodies (including two techs!) at x1989 y 2008 Alpha AI Dibain 6052 Id Head to a moderately high desert / arid planet (7-10) and just dig down. It's pretty rare you find silver on the surface. It usually comes deeper underground or in chests. I usually just go on a suicide mining mission and mine all the way to the centre of the planet and take all the ores, and then jump in the lava to respawn in the ship. It's easy enough to get pixels later in the game, anyway.

Heads up, huge patch scheduled for a few days from now, will wipe characters. http://playstarbound.com/coming-in-a-few-days-sorry-for-the-delay/ Mostly a balance patch. Here are the highlights: Tiy posted:*We’re going to reduce the number of planet levels from 100, to 10. (This is not a decrease in the amount of content, it’s simply a change to how leveling functions.)

Although I'm bummed that I just found a bitchin keytar that I can play songs on that I'll be losing in a few days. For anyone with an instrument, I highly recommend getting Take on Me. The way it start off makes it sound like you're just kind of hitting random keys, and then suddenly it kicks off into the super familiar beginning of the song.
