You have a thread for this on the official forums? Devs have been really great so far at supporting modder's new ideas. They are working on code for acid rain for the toxic world mod, maybe they can add support for planet/biome specific features.

Not yet, no. I'll post it in the modding forum and see if I can go anywhere with it.

Making dungeons and such is pretty easy and fun too. Just want more control over where the game'll put it down.

:frogsiren: Gamma and Delta have the same universes :frogsiren:

If you found a cool $anything in Gamma, go to the same coordinates in Delta and you'll find it again. Tech chests, villages, you name it.


starbound.config has "defaultWorldCoordinate" entry, try mucking with that?

Yeah, to be more specific:

In starbound.config change the "Usedefaultworldcoordinate" entry to "True". Then change the "defaultworldcoordinate" entry to the coordinates of the planet you'd like to use. Then bam, everyone joining from there on should start on that planet (Characters made before this change probably won't though.) The coordinates in that file were formatted in kind of a strange way. You can find what you need to enter as the coordinates in that file by going to your universe folder and finding the name of the file for the planet you want to use.

E: I should note that after doing this, sometime in the next hour of play I managed to get the file for that world corrupted or something, and the game regenerated the planet (Deleting all my chests and such, of course.) I sincerely doubt that was related, but there you go.

There's a super hidden Feng Shui mechanic built into the game that improves your chances of finding rare items if you decorate your ship properly. :)

Uranium and Plutonium too but starting out, yes: coal.

You can now I think smelt 10 wood into 1 coal if you have a lot of wood but no coal and need to go to anotehr planet.

Coal is the most basic one, I think. Plutonium and Uranium(?) and one of the other high-end materials can be used. If you don't want to search for coal, you can make it using regular wood in the furnace.

Fuel to Ore Ratio

Solarium - 8:1
Plutonium 6:1
Solarium Rod 4:1*
Uranium - 4:1
Plutonium Rod - 3:1*
Coal - 2:1

* - Rods require 2(Two) ore to make, thereby I halved their actual fuel amounts. As this listing is based on Fuel to Ore ratios.

Rabbit race. Who eats birds, for perfect hilarity when the bird people start worshipping them.

Avians don't worship rabbits. There are rabbit sarcophagi all over their tombs because it's a terrible insult. Those are the bodies of criminals, heretics, and what they call 'the Grounded', the Avians they consider second-class, have been mutilated so they can't fly, and are often ritually sacrificed to their false god. Basically the Stargazers, the Avian priests who CAN fly, look down on every other race who can't fly, including members of their own. ESPECIALLY Avians who can't fly.

Have they announced a new patch? Steam is currently downloading 500mb of Starbound things. Jfyi, I've gotten all of the past updates :shrug:

E: Huh, yeah. Their page seems to say so.

Re-posting, the build is actually live this time! Go update! :)

Changelog for v. Indignant Koala 12/11/2013
There are a whole bunch of improvements to balance here, particularly in the early game.
We aren’t wiping characters or worlds, but if you want to experience the proper balance
you should make a new character/worlds to play it on!
Also..
- Nerf the hell out of birds, they no longer attack you at long range, lower damage, don’t follow you forever.
- Monster projectiles across the board better balanced
- Shields better balanced
- Early armors better balanced
- Melee weapons better balanced
- Ores better balanced
-AI improvements
- you can now craft lanterns (similar to sixxes’ lantern mod!)
- you can now craft a new back armor to help light caves
- fixed the bubble gun crashing on mouse over
- improve grass ( Suggestion by Dracyoshi)
- You are now invincible on your ship (this requires a new character)
- You need to be hit a lot harder to get knocked back
- some UI updates
- Drills now destroy 3×3 blocks
- nerf fall damage
- You can now turn 10 unrefined wood into coal in the furnace
- New “melting” status effect on lava makes lava super dangerous (watch out)
- Other misc changes

Sounds good!

Is there a mod to currently change your spawn point or where you beam down on a planet? I'd be more inclined to build a house/evict a structure if I could just instantly warp to it.

You can actually!



Warp ins actually go to the first solid block on the upper part of the planet (where you can see the sky in the background) Warps will ignore platform blocks, so if you just dig down a bit, and only have platforms above you, you'll warp directly into any underground base.

Where my glitch is on the bottom is where she warps in at. It's rather quite nice.

As we discovered on yoloswag a few times, if you dig directly under the warp-in point all the way to the core, you can permanently set the warp-in point to the spot where it is impossible to get out without some movement tech. Placing a few Tesla coils in choice locations ensures that they die instantly, as well. :unsmigghh:
