Switched.on posted:Considering how simple it is to edit the starting chest to give you anything you wanna start with, I'm surprised anyone cares at all about "losing" progres. This is from a couple pages back (thread too fast), but do you know what the syntax is for getting a specific color of a cosmetic item? I'm trying to spawn my starter chest with a red Cool Jacket "coolchest" (since I'm not starting as human and can't pick it), but every time without fail it spawns as blue. I've tested a few different ways of appending the word "red" onto "coolchest", but so far all of them have just caused the worldgen/shipgen to hang up and fail.

Yeah, that's my backup plan and probably what I'll have to end up doing, but it would still be nice to know for the sake of knowing. Especially once dyes start to actually work on things and starter armors aren't the only multicolored sets.

An Unoriginal Name posted:There's a lot of examples of it being pretty cheap but I'm really glad that they made it so open, looking at a few things that have come out of it so far. The fact that, as far as I know, two mods have been seen by Tiy and are being implemented as actual parts of the game (pixel banking, "toxic" biomes) is really cool and actually a pretty good way to get ideas of what people want to see added to the game. I only worry that their scope broadens too far but hey, I know nothing about game development and I'm sure they know what they're doing. I was more referring to the people changing the MM so it gathers ore at the speed of light, start their games with chests full of goodies, turn on god mode, etc.

I would've been more worried about the assholes at Curse gaming that already tried to make themselves the "official" Starbound wiki. Nexus is a messed up community for sure, but they're nothing like Curse.

Not just Nexus, I can see this as a step to further interrupt moves by Curse to try and move in on Starbound's current popularity (see the drama between Curse's representatives demanding that Tiy use their services as the official ones and how they bullied the guy who owns the wiki Chucklefish went with). It is nice to see this happening now before the community gets settled in somewhere, when modding is supported by a third party host, developers tend to lose all control and guidance of it and you end up seeing a ton of issues with bad behaviors being encouraged in the community (See the how Nexus allows modders to ban people from mods for any or no reason and Curse's support for allowing adfly links which have infected countless users with malware). Chucklefish has a good head on their shoulders so we will hopefully see good community guidelines for the modding community.  Genocyber posted:How is that at all bad? Seriously, it's a primarily singe player game the point of which is to do what you want. Not really, with specific features like DM Mode, I'd say that Starbound heavily lends itself to be more multiplayer driven. These kind of games get a lot of their longevity from server play. I mean, there is a ton of content to this game, and they said they have about a years worth of post release content thought up, but eventually you are going to do everything, and if the devs do not release new content, it will be servers that keep a lot of this game alive (and mods as well, but again, that is adding additional content), well run servers and good staff can keep a game interesting for years. Having mods be mostly client side causes issues when players are able to adversely affect servers, anyone remember the early days of Terraria where people would hope on with modified weapons that spammed millions of bombs per click? That poo poo kills server viability until it was fixed. Enzer fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Dec 10, 2013 |

It shouldn't be disabled, but it should be robustly controlled by the host's settings rather than just accepting whatever the client says at face value. S.J. posted:So I was chopping trees down on an ice planet for fuel. Rather than wood they just gave me ice. This works for lots of things. Flower planet "trees" give you plant fiber (which is really handy because otherwise making large amounts of cloth or bandages is a pain in the rear end) eyeball trees give you eyeball-fruit; there are probably others.

You can't really stop people from playing multiplayer with a chest full of goodies. Unless you make it so there is ONLY server side characters which is the opposite of how the game works right now.

I've seen Oculemon trees, too. But the weirdest poo poo I ever saw were trees that were made of metal on a magma planet, which dropped metal-covered wood for making rust tables. Only I couldn't make any rusty items, since they required bolts, and I couldn't make bolts.

Cheating items into your singleplayer game isn't really a big deal compared to the level of nearly equivalent "cheating" you can get up to on a multiplayer server anyway. Want to get outfitted with level 40 weapons the moment you join? Someone with that sector/ship upgrade unlocked can just invite you to a party and escort you around the surface until you see a chest, or take you to a specific co-ordinate with the thing you want on it, or even just drop you some of their own trash that still has high armor pen. If you're seriously concerned about going through the progression normally and being limited by things like tech tiers, you should probably avoid playing MP in the first place, unless it's some private server where you're all progressing together and are in agreement not to do that sort of jump-starting.
