They should just make shields always block all damage (except maybe bosses or something) but consume energy while doing so.

That backpack lantern is already a mod someone made and it's loving fantastic, so I'm glad Tiy's putting it in the actual game. Can't imagine playing without the mod anymore. Anybody figured out how to mod heat out? Heat and hunger are both just tedious and boring as gently caress to me and I got rid of hunger but can't figure out what the heat transfer settings actually do. Backpack light + no hunger + MM mining superfast fixed almost all of the tedium in the game without being overpowered or anything at all, unless you just really like making a million torches and spending 3 hours to loot a base

If you leave generic items in containers the containers themselves might be deleted. It was a rude awakening since I had a bunch of Biofuel in my fuel hatch, went on an MP server, saw the items were generic and went back into single player. My fuel hatch was completely missing. Ended up having to spawn another one.

Dang, the new patch totally borked starbound for me. I crash as soon as I select a character in the regular and OpenGL versions, and have tried setting both programs as administrator and as non-administrator. I also get a crash on launch for hosting a server now. Anyone else having these problems?

Turned out to be bandits that attacked me, so I killed them and took their poo poo. The tent is a nice addition to any ship and functions like a bed that lights up from the inside when you use it:  Florans are cool.

Just to confirm to the person I was speaking to earlier, Once you upgrade your ship map to the X sector, you get the next teir or weapons and armor.

So how does modding work with regards to multiplayer? Do the clients download the mods from the server, or does everyone have to have the mods installed?

If it doesn't add anything to the game (an item, graphic or w/e) then everybody sees it and it performs in the way the client says it does. If it adds something, it still performs the same way, but other people see it as a black box or nothing. I assume with a login system for servers, this will change at some point. So, you can join a MP server with an OP MM and no fall damage, and it works fine.

Zethe posted:Just to confirm to the person I was speaking to earlier, Once you upgrade your ship map to the X sector, you get the next teir or weapons and armor. Yeah once you get to X you get Aegisalt, and the endgame chain from there is already built out (Aegisalt->Ferozium->Cerulium->Violium->Rubium->Impervium) with weapons and armor for each stage. The problem is that last patch there was A->B->G->X but now there is A->B->G->D->X. Only they forgot to add equipment/progression for Delta. So you just have to use Gamma-level equipment and cheese the boss. Also endgame still isn't tuned well at all so there isn't much point in getting there.

When I make meat in a campfire, then shift click the cooked meat to auto stack it, it disappears. Has anyone else seen it? I might just be crazy, but I know I've cooked more meat than the one I have. Fake edit: Found it in my hotbar  I take one day off and forget to look there.

Well that's annoying. An anvil I stole from a glitch town can't be used to make the Metalwork station. I guess I need an "Iron Anvil" versus an "Anvil".

The White Dragon posted:I really want a bigger ship. Just two more rooms would be great. There's a couple of .pngs that do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the ships - one is the background image and one is a low res pixel map where each pixel corresponds to a back wall block/object or forbidden space. There are other files as well if you want to have additional block types showing up by default or change where you spawn but if you just want to make a little extra space for yourself it's pretty easy to open up the .pngs and just make the changes. I made this in about an hour. Works exactly as you'd expect it to. http://imgur.com/OFqXwSf 95% of that hour was copy-pasting and modifying bits of the existing ship so it looked more or less like it belonged in the game with double-decker storage, and probably 80% of THAT was loving around with the bits and wires behind the walls so that the sub-structure looked good too, just in case. I'm at work now but I think the file names were something like shipship.png and dropship.png. They're in Starbound\Assets\Ships\ or something like that, broken out by race. I used Gimp to change the image files.

I found an early planet with an absolutely HUGE prison a little bit to the left: I got heaps of loot! Only melee, though I went from the starter sword to a 109 dps one right away.

2 Track EP posted:Someone linked a mod earlier in the thread that turns your ship in to a sandbox, around 250-300 posts ago. Once again, this is how it should work in the full game. Just add some spaceship exterior decorative bits like spines and technofluff to stick on and you're all set. You're starting ship just feels so hilariously cramped, and even if they do have a progression of larger ships through the story, premade shells will never be as fun as making your own.

It would also be fun if occasionaly, instead of a planet there was sometimes a space station you could dock with. Some of them would just be small places to trade and buy supplies, but some of them would be abandoned derelicts full of monsters, or carved out of an asteroid, or something cool like that. Basically just a mini dungeon map in space.

Ive got no real complaints about how planets and creatures are handled, but I hope one day, when they have a handle on the game, they maybe expand out a bit... Creatures that hide, or look like plants till you get close. Or greater diversity in size and movement of creatures. Trees on a certain type of planet that somehow fight back as you try to cut them down... poo poo like that...

Can anybody explain what I'd tweak to make it so I can make torches out of wood and tar? Because I have quite a lot of it but not that much coal, and I'm pretty sure some tar on a stick would burn just fine.

The latest patch added the first bit of creature/environment interaction (animals grazing on grass). I'd be surprised if they stopped there.

I think we're (me, my wife and my friend) playing the game wrong. We've sat on the starter planet and have built a 3 story house. We keep decking it out and haven't bothered to go elsewhere yet. We're so attached to our nice house and ample supplies of basic goods. We've even got a decent farm going. It's like why roam when you can get it at home! Though I'm thinking the only way to get better crap is to travel. I will set off alone and see what can be returned to our nice wood and packed dirt mansion. We decided to play blind so we didn't know we can use some of our 150 coal to fuel the ship. Oh well, lesson learned.
