Is the underground on moons with ice cold nights just as cold or can you dig down without needing a fireplace every minute?

My Avian apparently can't decide which gods to appease with his ship. My only regret is not having a "Big Ape is watching you" sign for the bathroom.

Tulip posted:Oh yea that's totally fair. Like i'd hate it if planet objects were actually close to realistic in size. What i really want is the planets to be more hazardous/varied. Tentacle planets should be terrifying, volcanic planets should be a lot more nightmarish, the gravity of planets should vary based on size. I hope it's just an issue with a lot of content not being in the game yet, but right now I really feel like they missed a big opportunity to differentiate worlds beyond randomly generated trees and monsters. I would love to see worlds that are just outright murderous to land on without specialized gear, and that ideally contain unique features that don't show up anywhere else. Planets just feel too much like biomes (which, admittedly, is all they are) in Terraria/Minecraft, and I think a lot of that is due to them all being mechanically identical aside from cold.

IIRC the space helmet you can craft will eventually be necessary to survive on moons. So that kind of stuff will be in the game, eventually.

I got curious about what was beneath the lava in a planet's core, so I started a long dirt tunnel down it. Turns out the screen stops scrolling after a while. Here's my Floran looking at the hole to the end of the world, getting ready to jump in. For science! When you jump in, you don't even get a lava debuff, you just instantly die. Oh well!

Galaga Galaxian posted:Yeah, the Vagyr ship is really awesome. Though the first time you showed it off I saw the early-80s sci-fi colors, stripes and misread the Vagyr name and got really excited that someone was doing Traveller stuff. The Vargr are the best group of Space Corsairs ever. The Vaygr that the ship is based on is a Homeworld2 race of which no real actual depictions exist, and they are big on the Chris Foss type of assymetrical designs. They're a warrior race with a central hivemind born from another warrior, and it turns out all of them, and their actions result in them being space-assholes. They have some cool-rear end ship designs, though: Vaygr Destroyer:  The ship itself is roughly based on the Vaygr Battlecruiser:  My personal design favorite though, which is all-heavy on the chriss-foss angle is the lowliest fighter craft

Oh I know who the Vagyr are (though I've never played Homeworld 2) and that they're not space wolves. I just misread it the first time is all. Vargr, Vagyr, close enough.

Asymmetrical spaceship designs are awesome. Food chat, what's the best way to gather new recipes? I'd love to start a huge farm / food factory at some point in the future, but it seems pretty rare to find new recipes so I'm stuck with a handful of starting recipes.

Mo_Steel posted:Asymmetrical spaceship designs are awesome. As someone who is actively trying to find recipes, raiding bookcases and chests in villages is the best way. You can find seeds, rarely, in small chests on planets too. Recipes seem exclusively in inhabited areas, though. Glitch castles have been really good for glitch recipes.

I felt like I needed to get in on the vargr bandwagon as it looked like the ideal ship design for me It's not furnished and I'll probably mess with it some more, but I like it.

Especially in this case where it was pretty much literally an "inspired by" design -- it's actually sort of a weird mashup of mostly the Vaygr BC, with elements of the Vaygr corvettes and my semi-accurate memories of some unused concept art for a Vaygr frigate:  The species I'm working on is definitely not intended to be literally the Vaygr, though. I just really like the aesthetic. MShadowy fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Dec 14, 2013 |

I like the look of that mod-conscious patch coming up. The one catch, though, is that for it to be effective they absolutely have to find a way to add new starter recipes without modifying player.config. As it stands modifying that (or the individual racial recipe lists) is the only way to add recipes the player knows off the bat, and every single mod that adds new craftables has to edit it, resulting inevitably in lots of problems. By making the mod files more independent and, hopefully, creating a new way to add generic or racial starter recipes, they'll be ensuring that most mods will be able to persist through many versions, without needing updates. I've said it before but after Minecraft's "every mod breaks with the slightest patch" trend, it's really refreshing to see a mod system that you can just set and forget.The White Dragon posted:No way, when you roll through as Hylotl all they do is talk poo poo.

I hope they set up a better way to integrate character object descriptions and npc speech with this patch. As things currently stand I'm almost certain my only option is to individually edit each object and npc file to add the dialogue, which is a bit of a pain.

One more quick question for now: Is it the normal thing right now for there to be WAY more Iron, Gold and Silver than Copper ores TL1 planets? I swear, by the time I've planet-hopped enough to make a full suit of Copper Armor I'll be able to upgrade it right away.

Okay I'm trying to tinker around with learning to mod this stuff. So I got three parts. I'm trying to build a basic duplicate tool atm, so: assets/items/tools/itemname.itemname This is for the item itself. Modify the properties and actions it does. assets/recipes/starter/plain/itemname.recipe To craft the item from the standard crafting button. This lists the items neccessary to make it, and what categories. assets/player.config This attaches the recipe to the default list a player can craft code: EDIT: I'm just an idiot and had to restart the game. nullEntityRNG fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Dec 14, 2013 |

Has anyone found a merchant that sells seeds? I have a farm up and running, and while I have a large variety of plants, of most I have like 3 or 4 because they either grow very slowly or I get unlucky on their seed production. I could cover this planet in wheat but I'm still farming the same two sugar cane plants over and over. At least I found a chef spawner and the chef sells the meat scraps needed to cook my boneboos into meat and marrow, food with health regeneration. Floran like.

They're aware of the player.config issue and fixing it at some point. I was writing a merge tool to ghetto fix it but it's being addressed by the devs soon! I'm assuming they'll just remove the recipe portion from player.config entirely and have the game scan the recipe folders so that all relevant info for the recipe can be stored in the .recipe file without touching player.config

No, I'm not sure how you're supposed to find that out without looking it up on the wiki or something. The seeds though, yeah. If they aren't going to reliably drop more than one seed or be sold by merchants you need to be able to clone ones you have or something.

Yeah, that one is odd. I'm usually swimming in copper ore, which once you make your pick and armor is useless except for making a drill way down the line (to immediately upgrade out of copper, so I'm not sure what the point is there) and repairing digging tools.DACK FAYDEN posted:Well, you can find it out by reading an unprompted forum post too!

Is the ore repair thing bugged? Diamond ore doesn't repair, and copper repairs so efficiently that my diamond drill is never in less than perfect condition (save when i'm feeling lazy).Psykmoe posted:Has anyone found a merchant that sells seeds?

Seriously the merchants in this world are in some sort of terminator seed conspiracy or some poo poo. So many seedless tomatoes, bananas, grapes... and how the gently caress do they sell rice without selling rice seeds? Most plants have a ratio of seeds to harvests that's greater than one, i actually found sugar to be pretty generous (something like 1/10 sugarcane gives 2 seeds) but nothing like rice. Chillis are however the bane of my existence. How does one get candy or red apples? Is there some trick to it or is it just a pain in the rear end.

Exploit it while you can. :edit: Especially when it comes to coal. Coal is more valuable than gold - its used for fuel and for crafting steel, you should always grab any and all coal veins you see. Also, don't bother with copper armor. You can kill the T1 boss with a Steel bow and no armor (or winter/makeshift armor) and skip straight to silver or better armor when you get to Beta sector.

And I've gotten one extra chili seed from harvesting a total of four plants. Of course, given that it takes forever to grow, this isn't as good as it sounds. Candy you need to find the recipe for, it's 3 sugar. As you are problaby aware, finding recipes in the wild at all is rare. Don't ask me about apples.
