Is there a proper way to find ore that isn't right on the surface? You can't see through dirt very well.

If you place torches close to walls the light reveals deeper ore. You can also find deposits in the dark by mousing over them with your Matter Manipulator.

Just follow natural caves, lots of surface area means more chances to encounter veins. If you're really desperate you can probe nearby rock with the matter manipulator, it paints a little blue square that you can use to see what's hidden.

Is the mod directory structure supposed to be <starbound_folder>/mods/assets/objects/whatev or <starbound_folder>/mods/objects/whatev ? E: Basically I took the directory structure/layout of the crafting table and renamed most files/internal values to just display a new thing, but I can't get it to show up. Maybe one of you more experienced modders can hit me up so I don't keep polluting the thread? breadedfishstrip on AIM, Fishstick on steam.

I'm trying to implement a spreadsheet that we can rollover and keep track of each version. Once a new version hits I may implement it and post a link.

Not sure if it's been posted (it almost definitely has been) but here's a Reddit post of major changes to the game that will creep along in the future. http://www.reddit.com/r/starbound/comments/1t0nis/the_future_of_starbound_a_peek_at_whats_coming/

Screw it I'm just gonna throw it up. I'm going to keep this persistent throughout the versions. New versions will equal new pages with the version name as the page name. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aqz8-YTYvEzidFRKaDBzTklLRjFtbXNMNEhZQ3ZKVXc&usp=sharing Started plugging some of the alpha locations in that were left earlier in the thread. I'll go through and add in more locations stored in other sheets.

I made a mod that adds more tiers of axes to the game. There's another one similar to it on the mod site but I didn't like the axe sprites and firetime/damage values they used. New axe tiers include copper, silver, gold, platinum, and diamond. The diamond axe basically cuts down trees and vines instantly. More axes aren't terribly needed, but I felt like the game was missing something without them.  Get it here: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/more-axes.317/ Extract to the mods folder so it looks like Starbound/mods/more_axes/ You probably have to add the recipes to player.config until the next patch. The new axes can then be crafted at the anvil/metalworking station. Might make it Tabula Rasa compatible once I've actually tried that mod out. Add these lines to player.config after diamondpickaxe or such: code:Gonna make a similar mod for more bow tiers today as well. Mina fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Dec 16, 2013 |

Has this been posted yet?Tiy posted:Next on the agenda, environmental hazards, extreme weather, meteor showers, acid rain, gravity variation, non breathable atmospheres + more Posted on his twitter as of this morning. Meteor showers sound interesting, wonder how those will function. Also I wonder if since they are adding non breathable atmospheres in the next patch, if we will get any kind of breathing gear added at the same time.

I honestly don't really like the concept of extreme weather hazards if they're going to be able to affect terrain. Nothing will turn me off of building more than if poo poo can randomly get taken out by a meteor shower or acid rain or whatever. Terraria did it by having meteorites just smack into any open ground whenever they fell but this sounds like it'll be a dynamic thing which could potentially suck in practice.

As long as it doesn't require you to huddle next to a couple torches for 30 seconds I'm fine with whatever they decide.

Or be a space hobo. I mean in Terraria you just created a meteor shield for anything important so it wasn't like it was a big deal.

Allright, I'm done trying to figuring this out for the night. If any kind modder soul can tell me what i'm doing wrong, I'd love some feedback: rar archive Link points to an archive of what is in <starbound_folder>/mods, without the .modinfo file - I just can't get it to show up as a starter craftable. Current dir structure is <starbound>/mods/transmuter.modinfo + rar contents (eg <starbound>/mods/transmuter/objects/etc) I copied the files similar to refinery, but for the life of me I can't get it to show up as a basic crafting recipe. The modinfo contains: pre:"name" : "Transmuter", "version" : "Beta v. Offended Koala", "path" : "." }

RE: Mini bosses, poison in capsules, etc. Presumably it'll tell you when the planet has extreme hazards or has no oxygen, that way I will be able to know not to go there immediately instead of having to find out the hard way.

RE: Mini bosses, poison in capsules, etc. Those poison capsules really make me wary. You have no idea how many times I've come across a capsule while digging deep into a planet and just skip it so I can keep going. I'd rather keep digging than risk an instant death more than half the time.

I guess they intend to change them later, but right now clicking them is such an incredibly bad idea I'm not sure why they even have them in. Anyone found the magic mirrors? I've only seen them underground, but I can't tell what they do. They don't insta kill me a t least.

You get randomly placed when you start a new character which is how the server treats anyone it doesn't have a record of already, so unless you time it so the rng is on the same number when everyone logs on the server you gets tossed around as the server spawns each person for the first time.

The quickest way to add a recipe is make it work through smelting - take a look at http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/the-tabula-rasa.114/ to see how they've done it.

Environmental hazards? Oh yes.  Planets are in dire need of more stuff differentiating them. Snow planets being virtually the same as volcanic ones doesn't make exploring that fun.

For everyone worrying about dangerous weather and terrain, I think they mean dangerous as in it hurt you and other creatures, but like grenades and other projectiles it wouldn't do enough damage fast enough to destroy terrain. If it did then moons with asteroid showers would eventually get chewed down to the bottom of the map which seems dumb.Arkitektbmw posted:Screw it I'm just gonna throw it up.
