Does anyone get a memory access error when quitting starbound, and clicking ok on the popup just makes it popup again and you have to force kill the process in task manager?Vib Rib posted:If your complaint is that it takes too long, when "grinding" for coal will only cost you maybe two or three minutes for a full interstellar trip, how in the world is offering an even less effective alternative addressing your problem? This is bullshit. you do not find hundreds of coal in only a couple minutes unless you are absurdly lucky. Even running a lap of my starting world didn't have 100 pieces of coal visible along the surface, yet people speak like it's all over the drat place. Digging and exploring the world for a couple hours got me around 150 pieces. I had around 250 iron, 180 silver, 60 platinum, and 15 diamond. On a starting world. I know ore is hosed up atm and is over abundant but I'm going to mod the fuel sources in my game if it turns in to Coal Mine Simulator 2013 when I spend an hour or two finding coal just to move to another system. Maybe if/when we can use stuff like Tar to make fuel it'll be ok. I had over 2k pieces of Tar until I made a lava subway along a large section of my starting planet. I'd much rather be able to convert that (and someone mentioned petroleum?) in to fuel. But really, ships need an ability to make solar paneling or some other slow charge method. Let fuel be for when you are doing a lot of interstellar movement in a (several?) hour period. It'd be a huge help for sure. Mondlicht posted:Still on my first starter planet, I just keep digging down and.. where am I? What will I find? Probably death. Zombie Bulbasaur is waiting for you down to your right. Anime Schoolgirl posted:Considering to get numerous amounts of it requires building a 5000 tile tower or going to fourth tier planets, I'm not sure why you are expecting people to be fine with spending a lot of time underground to get coal. I don't care if the final build requires 5-10 total wood or 10-20 plant fiber for one fuel unit, just give people multiple viable ways to do things and use (lack of) efficiency to balance it. Don't forget the dozens/hundreds of campfires you need to make to not freeze to death along the way up that tower. Plus unless asteroids have an obscene amount of the fuel in them it's likely not worth the time to try and do it is it?

Edit: ^^ Maybe it's anecdotal, but the last time I went up to the asteroids this patch (This was on a TL10 planet), there was nothing. MAYBE some coal, but I scouted three large asteroids and found one single plutonium ore. No iron. No copper. Nothing. Real pain in the rear end, since you still need iron for a lot of things, and it does not show up past TL4 planets.Evilreaver posted:Fie on this new patch! When I try to make a megamanipulator, the game crashes immediately when I try to use it. Has anyone gotten one working? I had mine working fine, with a radius of 4 an altradius of 1 (for precision work) and an interval of .005. I should probably whip up Durasteel weapons or some similar level and go back and fight the slime boss without 15k DPS weapons, oneshotting him to grab the rest of progression for the evening was dissastisfying. For the person asking about Aegisalt: Read the loving upgrade you made for it, doofus. Aegisalt is found on TL 5/6 planets, Cerulium on 7/8, Rubium on 9/10. It was pretty fast to blow through stuff since all the ores are EVERYWHERE. I think I finished my quick Rubium run (getting 214 ore as fast as possible) with like, 500 diamond or something. Look forward to the tweaks so I don't have a 5x5 area solid with platinum, rubium or diamond..

People. Re: Numbers. Open up your assets folder and look at all the weapon and armor and damage numbers. Now think of whether or not more time needs to be spent making the system work right than making sure all the numbers which might mean nothing next revision are exactly right.

So, I've never had two techs before, but do you really have to go to the inventory screen every time you want to swap between them? One is double-tap left/right and the other is hitting space while in the air but I can't seem to use them both at once - am I incredibly stupid and missing something obvious, or is the tech system actually that badly hosed right now?

Shukaro posted:People. Re: Numbers. I was about to say something like this. They've just implemented the first pass of a completely new stat system. Of course everything is going to be hosed up for a while. And there's probably more big changes that need to be made before any fine-tuning can be done, too.

Just use a weapon with an overhead swing, you'll only take a few hits.

Section Z posted:Could somebody please explain to me how starting off with this... Either way, the weapons are a big step up. It's naive to say it doesn't need a lot more balancing, and like Dominic and Shukaro have been saying, it's going to take some time to get there, but we're on our way. It doesn't mean the system is inherently broken and we should just throw the baby out with the bathwater. Later tiers got a lot better, starter tiers got a little worse. Evil Fluffy posted:This is bullshit. you do not find hundreds of coal in only a couple minutes unless you are absurdly lucky....  Evil Fluffy posted:Don't forget the dozens/hundreds of campfires you need to make to not freeze to death along the way up that tower. Why are you worried about time efficiency in this game? It feels to me like a game you should be relaxing in, taking your time, soaking in the calm of the universe. Who cares if it takes time to get to an asteroid, or you have to go traveling underground? Exploring is what the game is all about. If you're just powering through for the fastest way to get to the next planet, the next tier, you're really gonna miss out on a lot.

They're taking huge steps to listen to what players want, and fixing what works, even if it means throwing out chunks of code or re-doing entire segments. That's exactly what I want from developers during a beta. How can you be so mad at that?

Game sure crashes a lot on character select since the last patch eh? It takes me upwards of 5 attempts to log into my character. I regret quitting while I found some abc files to play around with on my first instrument. On the positive, dug straight down for like 10 minutes or something to find a little room with toxic waste and a chest with nothing noteworthy but that violin in it. Was excited for music.

Look I know Tiy held a gun to your head and made you buy a game that's still in development, but you'll be ok. Just stop playing until it's more developed. You can use the time to read up on what "Steam Early Access" means.

gobbledygoat posted:What do they call it again? Sunk cost fallacy? I dunno about you, but I read a big official FAQ that said they'd be making major changes and possibly even releasing multiple patches a day in this phase of beta. I thought that's pretty cool, so bought it. We're four (edit: Sorry, six) days from first release now, and they've released two major updates and a few smaller ones already, including adding whole new gameplay features (Pokemon!) and overhauling areas that are poorly received. That's development happening about a thousand times faster than just about any AAA project. That's goddamn great news for an early beta, as it suggests that things are going to get fixed, and promptly. But yeah, hey, we're all being ripped off and just don't want to admit it.

Section Z posted:Could somebody please explain to me how starting off with this... Vib Rib kinda covered it, but those values for the Runwrath are incorrect, and are just a artifact of them not forcing a character wipe like they should have. Correct values are 4 damage per swing and 5 dps. This applies to most weapons that existed pre-fix, which have had their stats messed up in unexpected ways purely by existing in a modified system from what they existed in before. And I think Green Marine has noted most people's issue pretty well. Your starting planet means a ton for your initial experience, I'm restarting constantly so I've had some baby tier planets that are all enemies with just a charge attack, along with gobs and gobs of coal and copper. My latest though is Deathworld 6000 the enemies are varied and fairly strong, flying things are flying things, but aren't the most dangerous part, and worst of all it's got silver and gold on the surface -everywhere-, but I can barely scrounge up any iron or coal.
