So I can throw coal into the ship to fuel it, and I can burn wood to make coal, what else works as fuel?

Nyyen posted: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. It'll be best if you were to go down to the surface and find the effects of something like an asteroid shower rather than it actually happen during gameplay.

I'm hoping they stabilize mod changes in the coming patches, so that they don't require a lot of editing in the future. I'm sure once they move to .pak files that'll be different, but as it stands once Bartwe's patch for merges is thrown in things should be okay for a while. I'm looking forward to these planetary hazards, just so long as we get updated scanner info soon, too. I remember in the mock-ups, you could scan a planet for info like "Avian settlement detected" or "large deposits of silver found", or what have you. Hopefully we'll see that soon.

I think it's be sweet as hell if you had to build/find refueling stations every other sector or so. E: Is anyone able to download anything from the Starbound Mod Forums? It's been throwing up errors for me all day.

Can you keep using old characters and still get the new balance from the update if you simply move to another planet or do you absolutely have to make a new one?

The only way I've been able to download anything from that site for the past few days is to spam f5 on the error page until it finally gives me a download. It works, but you have to be a little patient.

 Hmm sure is not having much luck with coal on my starter planet, lets jump to my only neighbor, a desert planet! Oh cool a volcanic mini-bio... Gee thanks for that game.  . Very tempted to mod my MM right the gently caress now.

I have started 3 different characters already and on my third one I got a awesome beginning planet that I haven't even left it yet. If I want to hit up another planet I just get some fuel and hit the random button right?

Trees are generally worth 3-5 coal a piece. It's definitely the easiest starship fuel in Alpha Sector. I felt that in Beta and beyond, coal was plentiful enough while mining that I could ignore trees unless I actually needed the wood.

You can also just travel to other planets in the same system (if any) by clicking on them.

Thanks for the tip, i know about the "melting wood makes coal" process but was saving my wood for some interior re-design on my ship, floran style and haven't found that many ships. Guess i will have to burn the wood after all, seems to be more surface obsidian than sand on this desert planet.

That's 100 coal or 1000 smelted wood or some combination. You can also put in co-ordinates that have been posted/added to compilation documents, it'll generate a planet using the same random seed so it's similar, with the same features.

I really hope that they add in more efficent axes to cut trees down with. It's weird to be running around with a diamond pickaxe and yet still have a stone axe. Also, faster mining would be nice, even with a diamond pickaxe it takes forever to dismantle structures.

The thing is, once you get out of the initial sector, coal will be so plentiful, and you will have so many trees around that you'll have plenty of fuel. Also keep in mind that the fuel cost is much less for traveling within a star system. It only costs 200 fuel once you move out of the system. So what you can do is find a star system that has a bunch of forest planets and you should be good.

Another good idea for people who want coal or whatever is to find a desert (or maybe even arid?) planet and start mining any sand/gravel you see. When it comes loose, any ore in it does as well and you can easily scoop it up.

Purple Prince posted:I don't think this is true. I hardly got any coal in Beta Sector, and barring Jungle planets the tree count is about the same. Everything people can give, aside from using coordinates, is based on not only what planets they randomly went to but where they decided to dig and explore. What I'm saying was my experience and its more of general suggestion rather than saying its always like this. Basically - early on use trees and pick star systems with lots of jungle planets. This will help quite a bit in avoiding fuel troubles.
