Petroleum (purple liquid) is also unusable and unharvestable at the moment.

I never had any trouble finding enough coal to both power my ship and for crafting. That said, I didn't go to different planets terribly often, either...

If you did go to more planets, you'd definitely have more coal. I usually have around 300 units of the stuff at all times. That's more than enough for fuel and torches and still have tons left over.

With the changes to make jumping cheaper, you need 100 coal every time you want to jump planets. Not TERRIBLE, but I guess it will encourage more spelunking rather than scouring the surfaces of every planet?

Considering that there's apparently a burn property for that, it can only be so.

Also, for some reason carrots grow the best on petrol-covered dirt. :psyduck:

I guess it also depends on if their "More Ore" change makes coal more common.

No, they're talking about placed blocks no longer letting you hit enemies through them.

So no, you couldn't build a little hut and hit them through the walls because you can't hit enemies through blocks

It means you can't seal a monster in a bubble of dirt and stab it with impunity anymore. I wonder if you can still cut out a one-tile hole and stab through that or if the attack just stops entirely..

Might be able to use spears and a 2 tile high gap, but you'd be open to ranged attacks.

So I finally stumbled across the Glitch castle with a king in it I've seen several people mention. He greeted me with, "Referential. Hark, a Vagrant!" so it's nice to see that Glitch royalty have good taste in webcomics at least...though since he immediately tried to murder me and also was living completely alone in a castle in the middle of nowhere it's possible he wasn't actually a king but just a crazy robot with a crown.

Anyway, I have the sweet crown now. The universe may be about to burn but Hammertime will go out with style.

If you wanna try out the grappling hook, the files for it are already in the game. You just need to add a recipe for it:

Create a new file in "Starbound\assets\recipes\starter\plain" called "grapplinghook.recipe" (recipe is the file extension).
Add this to the file
code:
{
  "input" : [
    { "item" : "plantfibre", "count" : 4 },
	{ "item" : "ironbar", "count" : 1 }
  ],
  "output" : {
    "item" : "grapplinghook",
    "count" : 1
  },
  "groups" : [ "plain", "all", "tools" ]
}
And then go to "Starbound\assets" open "player.config" in notepad and find the section that looks like this:
code:
"defaultBlueprints" : {
    "tier1" : [
      { "item" : "copperarmorhead" },
      { "item" : "copperarmorchest" },
      { "item" : "copperarmorpants" },
      { "item" : "darkwoodmaterial" },
      { "item" : "yarnspinner" },
Add
code:
{ "item" : "grapplinghook" },
to that section and bam, now you can craft a grappling hook.

Isn't it basically like the climbing rope? Or does it have more than one use?

It's got more than one use and you can dual wield them.

Plutonium is 6 per ore but is only found in asteroids (for what I know) and the rods are completely useless.

I've found small amounts of it at the core of a small level 30 planet, but with the ore changes maybe it'll be more plentiful. Not that it's useful at all unless they've radically changed its fuel value or given the rods a use.

The best way I heard this summed up was saying "bless you" was a compliment, "bless your heart" is an insult or pitying comment, and "bless your little heart" is the equivalent of "I hope you die screaming in a housefire."

Which is fine with me. Changing too much at once usually has negative ramifications in a testing environment. This already seems to be a very ambitious patch.

Trying to get the eyes to be able to change color. If I can't, I'll leave them red, but I kinda want to use all the color changers. Gonna make a whole race of bug people with villages and dungeons and everything.

From what I've read it's basically going to cost you pixels to bank your pixels, but it will cost less than it would if you lost them in death.

That's exactly it. Currently it's a 40% net loss to bank, which seems high but is less than two deaths.

e: At least, that's what Tiy was saying pre-patch. Who knows, for real?
