At the Robotic Work-bench or whatever it's called, you can craft a Durasteel Tech Upgrade out of Durasteel bars. This will let you use Aigisalt, and make an Aigisalt Tech Upgrade, etc etc.

You can get reallllllly far up into space before hitting the ceiling. Didn't see anything special though.

World height and asteroid height seems to be related to the physical size of the planet. On small planets I've been able to get to asteroid level in seconds and I can usually find one about halfway through my heat bar, on bigger ones it takes me ages just to get to the outer atmosphere and unable to find asteroids before I would have frozen to death.

Yes, I've made those and they don't let me make anything but weapons and misc placeable items like lights and consoles.

Once you hit the tiers after Titanium/Platinum you craft everything on the workbench instead of the metalworking station

you said "drop kick" fyi
I came across a huge stone beak, which ended up being the entrance to an Avian catacombs. Inside were (I guess?) Avian mummies and skeleton birds. Also lots and lots of saw traps, which I'm cloning to make a horrible Super Meat Boy shenanigans labyrinth. I looted literally everything in it except the walls and made out like a bandit with gold and platinum bars, and pixels. I was hoping for a tech at the end, but nothing. Still, it was a really nice dungeon, and sufficiently creepy because it was night; I had to use a flashlight/weapon combo. I actually ended up falling into one of the pit saw traps because of the lack of light.

Unlike Terraria, which had an extreme focus on building, and only a light focus on exploration/finding stuff

I REALLY disliked Minecraft, and was never able to get past the Copper/Steel age of Terraria due to boredom.

Terraria had a tremendous focus on exploring, building in Terraria and Starbound are pretty much identical in that it is as significant as you want it to be, outside of building those few things that are required to go up a tier in craftable equipment. If you got bored at the copper/iron stage(which is pretty much the very start of the game) then it seems like you dropped the game way too early to say what it had any sort of focus on.

Maybe they'll let us use more than one at a time later on, I imagine it might have something to do with some of them having the same activation method. Or maybe they just think it'll make player characters too powerful.

That's alright, because those prices are just appalling. 100 pixels for a bandage, are you kidding me? Maybe 10 wouldn't be a ripoff. Maybe.

The devs have promised that it will be in the final product, but for now, you're having to beam down in the direct middle of the planet.

Bandages regen you to half of your heatlh, red stims regen you to full.
Also what's wrong with you if you can't make your own bandages. It's easy to get the materials for them. Also completely outclassed by burgers and cooked food.

Am I missing something about armor progression? Level 25 armor takes platinum, which only seems to exist in chests on planets up to level 30. There's no way I'll get enough to make a full set. I'm currently one shotting monsters on level 30 planets that also one shot me, and I have a buttload of titanium with no apparent use.

You might as well get used to armor being useless. Even the very best armor is only level 36 so you get oneshotted by everything on high level planets.

Armor / Weapons progression is just broken and is getting completely revamped in the next update.

I'm in T2 right now with lv15 armor (maximum available) and a lv23 weapon. If I stay on lv14-16 planets the enemies do reasonable damage to me but I one-shot them. If I go up to a higher level planet then I still do decent damage because my weapon is good but I get one-shot by everything.

This is amusing.

Anyway, here's a mod to change your ship into a space station, if you guys want it:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/gknlykg4z6y22if/Derelict+Space+Station+Mod-3.rar

Plenty of room for whatever you need, decorate it yourself, you can place blocks on the background. Does not come with furniture. You will fall to your death repeatedly putting up platforms. Compatible with multiplayer; invite your friends. See included readme for installation instructions.

How I like to play is, if your inventory is getting full, you've adventured enough and it's time to either use what you've found to build something, or trash it because it's worthless.
Yeah, this is about what I thought. Unless you're a total packrat saving up for some huge imagined project with all your multicolored resources (like me) or you don't need four thousand dirt and you can just take five seconds to dump all the blue/red/purple/orange dirt you don't need. Or you can turn any color of dirt, sand, and stone into packed dirt, glass/windows, and bricks that'll all stack together with any other variety and look better for building anyway.
