Well, they ARE planning ship combat in the far future, so maybe visible armaments will play a role at some point. Didn't they say it could end up being something like FTL, or am I crazy?

Tiy said if he had a choice that's what he'd want his combat to be like, and if/when they do implement it they'll strive towards something like that. It's probably my most anticipated post-release feature, after the Director Mode. That's gonna be some crazy poo poo.

So I've noticed something interesting. Chests seem to be universal on specific clients, but not actually between clients it seems. I've gone to the same planet twice after

I've gone to the same planet twice after My first guess is that the contents are based on a seed generated with your character (the file name appears to be completely random, for instance.) But if you recreated a character and it's still the same, it must be from something else entirely. Interesting.

Speedball posted:Would it be too game-breaking if there was a tech that let you teleport when you weren't under the sky? Hopefully we'll be able to craft some sort of "teleport beacon" that you can set up anywhere and then use to return to your ship. Of course it would also be a selectable point to return to when you beam down from the ship again. At least that's what I'm rooting for.

With humans, even less likely to be a coincidence. On the subject of teleporters, they did mention that stargate-style inter-world transport would be added eventually. I look forward to seeing how that changes up the game.

I sort of wish that grappling hooks would be the norm for air travel and underground shenanigans. Since I hit top tier I can fly around really fast infinitely with bubble and butterfly boost no problem, and with judicial energy use I can even fire off my grenade launchers while I do it. I would rather they make the flying techs either prohibitively expensive, or more like a gravity enabled jet pack where you had to use energy faster than you regained it, and just tapping it would just let you hover a bit longer. As it is now, the flying techs make double jump, gravity negation, rocket jump, and the blink techs worthless, as well as making the grappling hook just a toy. PvP and exploration would be more fun in my mind if it took some actual effort to get around. That said though, the lack of overhead things to grab above ground, and the claustrophobic nature of most underground spaces seems to already make the grappling hook largely useless.

Keep in mind Grapping Hooks were only added like 3 days ago, and we are only seeing the first 4 tiers of 10. I agree with you though, and that's why we should continue adding feedback. I mean poo poo we already have a flying car, mechs, etc. I'm sure after Tier 4 even our current Techs will be outdated by Tier 6.

I've been getting weird lag when picking up items and while the game is generating new chunks. What's up with that? Movement is fine but mobs, items and such feel like I'm playing with a 1000ms ping.

I found a desolate moon with no plant life except for a sprawling tree village inhabited by robots.  I also had a chef on my ship but I killed him on accident. I found butterfly bubble tech and I can't imagine anything being better than this.

So I've been away doing finals and poo poo and I come back to like loving 1800 posts (Christ this thread moves fast.) Can anybody update me on poo poo that has occurred, updates or features announced or implemented? I'd really appreciate it. Also, it's really awesome that I even get to ask this question, because I don't doubt that it's warranted.

For some reason the invisible lights used by the default ships to illuminate various sections are not invisible on my ship.   Though just to try something different I made most of the shipblocks the same fore and background blocked but not solid block type as the cockpit. Seems to work better.  Still not sure how to go about making the outside look better.

XboxPants posted:Because you're a refugee or whatever and your ship is all hosed up and you had to do a crash-landing. That's why it helps make things make more sense - you're starting at caveman level because your ship and all your technology is all hosed up/broken/out of energy. Starbound: Birds Projectiles destroyed my starship. Maybe that could be why you crashed though, birds shot you down. robotsinmyhead posted:2-Handers are the way to go, unless you're really slick with the shield. The 2-handed axes tend to be pretty garbage by comparison though. As much (or less?) than a 1-handed reach, with an overhand arc so tiny it might as well not be there. Which makes me sad because I think they are cool. Spears are kinda hit and miss for me. But that steel spear was a godsend for a PROPER battle with the brain robot boss. If they are indeed adding the ability to aim with them ala Terraria, I will adore them even though they are slower and have no huge gently caress off arc. Been sidelined from actually playing much Starbound from shitloads of shoveling. At this point I'm considering waiting till the next wipe or major update to start fresh, but I suspect I'll get back to screwing around just because even if it is two seconds to wipe o'clock. Also, holyfuck those ship previews. I know they said it was going to be a thing, but having some development pictures to go along with it is nice. Regarding the upcoming ability to Teleport to your homeworld. I am SO looking forward to this. But they will need to tweak how you select your homeworld, or you will never need to fly your ship anywhere. Because at the moment, you can set anywhere on the map as your homeworld, even if you are not at that star, even if you have never BEEN there. Abusable as all gently caress, but all they need to do to fix that is only make worlds you are orbiting able to be set as home. On the cooking subject, God I wish a cooking table could be used to COOK ALIEN MEAT, but nooo I still need a campfire inside my ship, next to the nice table used for baking bread and stuff.

I used the expensive Floran bio-lights, the ones that cost 500pix apiece. Planet: X 54 Leo 04 III X: -10450015 Y: 65814041 And just in case this kind of thing works here's the WORLD file. I assume you can paste it into your Starbound/universe folder.

I should ask my blatantly obvious question, I have only been playing super casually as I'm letting a friend's progress dictate when I progress in Starbound, so I'm currently locked to the Alpha and Beta sectors as he doesn't want to be spoiled on how to unlock the next sector.  Are non Avian and Apex settlements more common in Gamma / Delta and X ? I've literally only seen those two races and one extremely rare Glitch settlement or two which will be one guy in a cart or a 1 room castle.
