Judging by the respawn animation, apex are probably just humans mutated by Big Ape himself in an attempt to control his very own species. :shrug:

Hylotl are taking perpetual baths, their hygeine is probably pretty good. Meanwhile Apex live entirely off of processed "superfood" like it's loving Soylent and genetically engineered themselves into all having neckbeards, even the women.

Every race is secretly goons except Humans who are not-so-secretly goons.

On a slightly more serious note I find it amusing that they made Humans (or at least the Human PCs) the "comedy" option of Starbound. I guess that's one way to make people care about them.

The other way would have been to not give several of the more interesting aspects of Human culture to other races, making them all "human" in a mostly significant sense, but I guess this way was easier.

E: Dug into an underground layer once and all the background tiles were bricks and the little pixel-filled capsules were tiny houses.

So, can you put captured monsters back in their balls? Because I have two little guys on the ship now and want to see if I can't take them with me.

So point lighting looks rather interesting


Big downside is it's a lot more resource intensive than regular lighting. Big upside is it looks really cool.

According to the codex entries I've found so far, the Apex are humans or near-humans that genetically engineered themselves to be more intelligent around 100 years ago. This engineering also caused them to devolve physically, which is why they resemble apes.

Yeah, I changed pretty much every light source in the game to be point lights and it looks great. Just don't change the invisible lights on your ship to be point lights. My framerate was maybe 0.5fps. :v:

I even tried just renaming the images to the standard shipship.png and dropshipblocks.png and using the standard .structure file and that didn't work.

I was about to run a checklist on it, but you mentioned server issues and having dealt with that myself already I'm pretty sure that means the problem is that you don't have a teleporter pad to spawn in on. Since it doesn't know how to add your character to the world without a teleporter it tells you that the server timed out, because that is totally helpful when you're trying to play single player.

This is correct. There's mods all over the place that let you swap the ship you have for custom ships or sanboxes so you can build your own.

So is there a lava world down in the depths of each planet? Underneath the meat layer I somehow found an underground desert growing melons in huge caves.

I like how sand now flows in a pyramid instead of forming columns.

If you go deep enough there should be, but how far down varies with planet size.

Having two captain's chairs might be causing the problem. It's also possible that whatever you've got going on with the engine flames at the back is confusing it.

This but also for chests with weapons.
I had the "bad" luck of finding a legendary rarity T10 assault rifle that in practice is almost useless because it has spreading bullets.
Edit: and two rocket launchers that consume more energy that I can actually have with aegisalt armor.

It requires silver armor to make, so if you hadn't said "twice" I'd have assumed it was auto-equipped because you took off your silver armor to make it. :confused:

Why not just make the recipe cost like 1 wood or 1 pixel before you actually choose the balanced ingredients?

But I have a teleporter. Its that purple block in the area sunk into the floor.

Tried getting rid of the second one. Still just hangs. :sigh: As for the engines I was just emulating what the standard ships do.


[edit] Ok maybe it was the engines? It sort of works now, but only the teleporter and captain's chair are showing up. Still, progress.
