Actually, this just makes me want random ships that you can find on the map and beam over to and help/pillage. Occasionally having Derelict stuff as the core of smaller Moon planets would be pretty cool too. Ancient things that have just accumulated debris for so long they've become small moons themselves. Has anyone found a blue flashlight yet? Seen plenty of greens and reds, but no blues.

So after finishing the circuit of the T1 Ice World, I killed two huge enemies. First one dropped a 2-Handed "Typhoon Horror", which looks cool and fires a scatterburst of bubbles. T1 World enemies I ran into next hit by the bubbles take 5 or 9 damage, slashing them is 22  Guess it's the 3 Armor penetration at work compared to 5. I'll stick with my 1-hand Iron sword I crafted, thanks.Then I got my second big monster drop. Wait, this thing is called the "Cthulhu Killer"? Nice, maybe my luck has finally turned around-   Oneiros posted:Suggestion for Tiy and whatever other devs read this:  WHERE THE gently caress IS MY FACE? No beak, no fluff, just black souless eyes staring.

But if spears could be aimed they'd be a valid and actually nice choice, plus you could totally poke people from underneath and above with impunity. Also speaking of cosmetics, there should totally be an avian back piece based off those wingy things aztec warriors used to wear. Half way between a banner and a wing.

Nice, maybe my luck has finally turned around- I want there to be a random planet feature where all the weapons dropped on that planet have the awesomeness of their names inversely proportional to their actual power, so an amazing rare drop would be called "Broken Bopper" while all the common loot is called stuff like "Murdermaster's Deathbringer" and "Godslay Omega."

The hands on hips personality is the best because if you tap the move key really quick in one direction your character looks like they're pelvic thrusting.

Dressed my guy up as a robo space viking. Destroyed an Avian Temple because it was an affront to robo space Odin. Ran into a peaceful villiage, then sang them the song of my people: GENOCIDE STRIPMINING GENOCIDE STRIPMINING GENOCIDE STRIPMINING. There were no survivors.

So I built a Distress Beacon and got my rear end kicked and there is no quest after it. Sooooo do I just planet hop now? I have no idea where I'm supposed to get anything for a metal work station. I'm kind of lost. What is the best course of action from this point on? Am I supposed to dig dig dig? Is the first planet the same for everyone? I found an area that looked like a screenshot from the game. It was an Egyptian themed temple dungeon thing. Also it takes a TON of fuel to get anywhere, yeesh!

Planet hop for a while. You shouldn't be fighting the UFO for quite a while. Hops in system and hops between moons are cheap. Remember, you can use wood in your space ship.

Holy poo poo this game looks fun. I never played Terraria but I like the idea of an endless explorable universe. I know it's still a beta, but are things a bit smoother now? Also, any people playing on macs? How's that going? gently caress it, I'm gonna get it.

Running an external monitor). Otherwise things get a bit choppy in some of the more complicated dungeons. Also, there is probably going to be an update that wipes characters/saves so don't get too attached.

Should we start making a list of the current Goon Suggestions on the Starbound forums? I just was thinking that it might allow us to better refine ideas before we actually suggest them.

I'd port down and immediately die. Also how do you pass time faster?

There will likely be a character wipe in a day or two with probably more to come. They're still making sweeping balance changes and that probably won't stop any time soon. The game IS really fun but if you're just now discovering it, you could probably stand to wait a month or two for things to settle down. It just got into beta, after all.

Delaio posted:I swear I get the explosion/burning shrine over half the time. Protip! Activate them from as far away as possible, and you'll avoid the insta-kill explosion 100% of the time. If you're quick you can even avoid the burn. Once it activates you can see if buff-smoke came out, and step into it if it did. I thought those devices were just absurdly too risky until I heard about that.

I think I just went about 2500 tiles up from the surface on a moon and still didn't hit asteroids. Had to give up when the cold was so bad that even with th snow infantry gear I needed a campfire and torch's combined heat to stay at +1 warmth. Are asteroids not in the beta systems either or are they just really goddamn high up?

Raided a level 40+ Glitch castle, found the most fun weapon. Everything is trivial now, I can just sit behind cover and mortar the enemies without drawing aggro. Oh and it kills players too. Best weapon. Korgan fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Dec 8, 2013 |

I've been casually watching this game for about a year or so now, so I'm kinda giddy waiting of the download to finish. Either way, I just like the fact that it's in space and infinite. So loving cool.

There should totally be a confirmation box before you set a planet as your home. I just accidentally set a new planet, losing my old one that had all my gear. At least it is all going to be wiped anyway

Bucket list: Edit: I think I've stumbled across the best way to mine through the lava layer. Dig down there, then lay down a 5-thick band of dirt just below the stone layer. Dig a tunnel through that dirt and grab whatever max depth goodies lie in the way. Phobophilia fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Dec 8, 2013 |

At least it was all going to be wiped anyway One of the devs Molly, posted some instructions on Twitter the other day about how to fix this. Basically you can just look up your planet visit history for your character and find your old home planet that way. Far from ideal, but if you have any idea what your home planet was you should recognize it when you look up the coords ingame.

So I'm running into a weird glitch. Randomly, as I'm playing, the game will suddenly switch to a zoomed-in perspective. The HUD is where it's supposed to be, but everything else is zoomed way tighter in on the character, making it really hard to see. This tends to happen when something requires a significant load (like beaming down to the planet, beaming up, or dying). I now have a save file that's more or less corrupted because the game instantly tries to do this when loading the file and gets stuck mid-way, never actually loading in. I created a new character and this glitch hit me again roughly 15 minutes in. That save file could well be unusable too, now. I started playing this game yesterday, but this glitch didn't start happening until a couple hours ago.

Okay so, you want platinum but you don't wanna / can't figure out how to cheat and exploit to get it. There's another way! Step one: Get a charlie or delta quad gun from the sky pirates, Assault rifle, pistol whatever you wish. Step two: Head back to alpha. Step three: Pick any planet and beam down. Drop a flag, or some other item to announce that you now own this planet and than pick a direction and go in it. Step four: Kill. Everything. Sentient life, animals, everything. Clean out every temple, prison, castle and complex on the way Step five: when you reach your flag of dominance, repeat the cycle on the next planet.

One thing I'd like is the option to enable full sandbox mode. No missions, no aggressive NPCs or monsters, just exploring, mining and building. It's already basically sandbox mode anyway, it'd just be a checkbox on the character creator to turn off danger. It's kind of annoying when I just want to build but I have to fight off monsters anyway. Obviously it'd only be an option, default would stay as it is.
