Personally, I like to visit mostly Tiny and Small planets. Being able to circumnavigate them is a nice feature, just for how I choose to play, since I don't like moving on to the next planet until I have at the very least explored the entire surface of the one I'm on. Also it's quicker to get to the core and find higher tiered ores. Found enough diamonds on my starter planet's moon to make a diamond pick.

Stumbled across this mod of mild interest to Spacestation 13 players: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/ss13-chemistry-mod.169/ Now I'm pining for an SS13 total conversion mod... I mean, the game already has space, temperatures and poop, how hard can the rest of it be? Also looks like somebody is working on that dungeon editor I was wishing for a while back, too: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?resources/starstructor-the-starbound-toolset.152/

Won't have internet until Friday, but work on the Mantizi continues. I have all 10 tiers of their shortswords and broadswords done and working in-game, which includes crafting recipes for the appropriate tiers. Hopefully I'll have every weapon set done by the time I can upload pictures again.

I didn't even know you could circumnavigate a planet or there was a core. The tunnels into ground kind of suck since most of them end really early on. How do you keep going down, just dig randomly?

How do you keep going down, just dig randomly? Some planets are more honey combed and cavernous than others. If you make a habit of placing torches along your descent, you will often shine enough light to spy a nearby tunnel which you dig to and you repeat this so many times until you fall out into some massive rear end cavern which in turn leads into I don't know, a tomb of some long forgotten dead race or god knows what else and if you keep digging long enough you might just fall out into an endless sea of lava (the planetary core).

Ok that makes sense. Compared to terraria, I almost never use torches since I have to spend 2 seconds breaking them down. It should be instant.

Can you actually circumnavigate the core faster than the surface, or is it just a rectangular map that loops at the ends?

LAY-ZX posted:Can you actually circumnavigate the core faster than the surface, or is it just a rectangular map that loops at the ends? Most planets are HUGE. A tiny-size planet (the smallest) is only about 2048 blocks wide. But the largest is 16000 across, which takes several in-game days to traverse (far more if you only travel during the day, to help spot surface ore deposits).

I honestly wish that vines didn't take like over a minute to cut down with the matter manipulator. They're vines. e: I know that axes cut them down faster. It just seems stupid when in all reality someone could just pull them down if they really felt like it. Johnny Joestar fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Dec 25, 2013 |

Woah, I just disabled the Steam overlay for Starbound and it can now run on my laptop. Not just run, but run smoothly. Who'd have thought that it would be that simple to deal with almost all the lag in the game?

The biggest downside to digging deep is how much time you spend standing in front of a rock holding the mouse button down.. even with upgraded tools it's a slog. I have a lot more fun just running along the surface, mining what ores I see and slaughtering any villages I encounter.

Vib Rib posted:Do you really think people can just sort of lazily tug vines apart with their bare hands? No, I think that the thing that can fairly easily make tunnels in dirt and break apart basic rock can probably rip though a relatively thin bit of plant matter sometime this era without another ice age settling in.

Vib Rib posted:Rock takes longer than vines though. I think the point is that it takes just long enough to harvest vines that it's tedious. I doubt that even making vine removal almost instantaneous would imbalance the game or anything since there're what, two things you need vines to craft? (neither of which break the game if you're able to make huge batches of them them on demand)

Find a planet with flower trees, chop them down, and get enough vines to literally last a lifetime. Alternative solution: Go to a jungle planet and go chop crazy on the flora. Slicing your weapon at the plants on the ground in jungles will grant you tons of vines as well.

Or the devs could spend half a second to change what's probably a single value sometime, but sure, it's in the name of good game design and saving time to have a vine take as much time as a tree to chop down with the most basic tool when it comes to new players/characters that need bandages.

Or you could change that single value somewhere since the game is so friendly when it comes to that. Or you could make an axe.

MeinGott posted:Make an axe. Unless you're pretty much parallel to the vines, you aren't able to cut from the top (and as a result can't mine the block it's attached to). Vines are one of the things I wish were done like Terraria, in that you could slice through them (well, spiderwebs in Terraria) with the weapon in hand (maybe minus hammers and guns, for obvious reasons).

Agent Kool-Aid posted:Nevermind, forgot that feedback on a beta is taboo. I'm with you dude, vines should be way easier to cut than trees. Add in that you can't stack blocks underneath them to reach to the top and it's a little bit of a pain in the rear end. Just because the game is open to modders doesn't mean that's the "solution". At least 95% of people who buy a game don't know a thing about modifying files to adjust item settings, nor should they be.

Agent Kool-Aid posted:Nevermind, forgot that feedback on a beta is taboo. It's not that people don't want feedback or discussion, you're just sort of late to the party being that the MM effectiveness for everything has been talked to death. We know that the Matter Manipulator isn't intended as a do-all until later on in the development process. We'll apparently be able to upgrade the MM to be more effective at everything. Right now though, there are other tools in the game that you use, or just learn how to mod. Kyrosiris posted:It's pretty simple.

shymog posted:What do level33/35/37 correspond to? Some of the current cheese-the-later-tier upgrades or what? Tiers 6/8/10. They don't have proper bosses and actual structure yet, but the armor and weapons are available to make. The point of the mod is so that at any given tech level, assuming best armor available, you only ever need to use 5 "bandages" to get to max HP (instead of relying on 30 HP restoring pieces of poo poo when you have 500 max HP at tier 10). Edit: I should probably link to it, huh

If you're gonna do more complex stuff, like deleting recipes and poo poo, then it does get weird, but if you're just adding stuff, it's pretty simple. You can modify stanzas in the same way, like my combo lantern/breath tank that I posted earlier.
