Bartwe has a test server up at 66.228.42.26 for the moment. I'm not sure what he's trying to test. "I've put up a server for testing at 66.228.42.26 it might dissapear at any time." "well this is weird, i'm failing to raise the number of players on the server above 8  "

Temper Trudeau posted:I don't have enough coal. I tried a matter manipulator mod but it kept crashing the game. I had the same problem. Grab a pointy stick and go exploring the surface of the planet and you'll find some deposits. Get around 200 fuel in your ship, then go hit the chair up to see what's in your local system. Head to any other planets and run the surface looking for easy ore deposits. You don't have to completely fuel the ship. 10 wood gives 1 coal out of the smelter and there should be coal scattered around the planet. I ran into many of the same issues that feel obvious to the longer term players, but stumped me for a bit.

Get around 200 fuel in your ship, then go hit the chair up to see what's in your local system. Head to any other planets and run the surface looking for easy ore deposits. It is also pretty easy to setup a tree farm that will produce a lot of wood for you pretty quickly that you can use to convert to coal. Find (or make) a flat spot near the start spot for the planet. Chop down a couple trees and plant the seeds. Certain trees grow faster than others and are easier to chop down. Pickaxe or Axe will chop faster than matter manipulator will. When the trees grow, chop again and replant. You will always get more seeds than you had before so expanding is easy. I can usually get a few 1000 stacks in very short time doing this which can then be used to build or create coal. A lot of times this is much faster than traversing the planet looking for coal deposits.

Kyrosiris posted:Haha whoops, turns out Chucklefish totally reworked how Bandages are formatted as an item so if you downloaded my Estus Flask mod between Furious Koala coming out and just now, sorry about that, redownload it (because I'm bad at modding). This is why as much as I love persistent farmables (Why yes I would like these plant fiber dropping trees to actually GROW while I'm prepping to make the Decoy Princess), currently my only Mod, I'm always making sure I have some spare seeds in storage. Also, man I wish I had tried Apex earlier. Hellsmasher has gone from road warrior, to ninja, to fabulously metal (titanium armor, with the Iron Helmet in cosmetic slot). Having a fresh from start access to full hunger filling banana bread doesn't hurt either.   I also found a Shock Prod which fires a bitchin lightning bolt. Damage wise it's worse than the Titanium spear even if both the stab and bolt hit the target, but the latest world I've been exploring has tons of wind gust spamming enemies so having a projectile better than "Maybe one bar of health, for 1/4 your energy" like the Steel Bow has been great. That Eye Shield was found so far and meandering underground on whatever drat world I can't even tell yah. Looks like it makes you lower the shield to swing your weapons now (reasonable), just wish you could make shields of each tier for style and possible practical reasons. I'm still hazy on the actual mechanics of shield strength. In other news, can whoever first discovered that sitting in chairs pauses hunger be sworn in as a saint? Because probably half my time with the game on has been using a chair and dirt cubicle as a pause button while dealing with other things. Fake Edit: Spear animations are a bit buggy (but at least I missed the Spears Cause crash to desktop bug). If you attack with the spear when it is "behind" you, the attack animation switches it to your foreground (right) arm for the thrust, before it returns to the background arm. Evil Mastermind posted:Is there a list of "must have" mods anywhere yet? Whatever mod from Desideratus catches your fancy, and all the other fine and talented Goons. Also, persistent farmables gently caress yeah persistent farmables. Warning given here and by the author that it will vaporize all your planted crops when you install or remove it, so harvest your stuff first.

It's faster, a lot less monotonous, and funny. Not worth bothering until you can put the UFO down easily, though, I'll grant you that. One person's deadly inferno is another's plan to cook eggs and all that. ----------------------- Hey goons, want Pulse Jump in the dang Alpha Sector instead of, like, Gamma? Alpha Ups Sgr 49 I a X: 91424654 Y: -80180912 Arid Threat Level: 1 A couple screens west of spawn is an Apex obstacle course with Pulse Jump at the end (end about 2 screens east of entrance for the direct among us). It's the meanest course I've seen so far, so bring a pickaxe and a bunch of wood platforms.   Section Z posted:In other news, can whoever first discovered that sitting in chairs pauses hunger be sworn in as a saint?

Will there be weirdness if I install your mods then log onto the Goon server that's not running any mods? I ask because it seems like there would be a conflict with Exploration Enhanced's additional biomes, and the different mechanics of the combat mod.

Don't install any mod that adds new assets and go onto a multiplayer server is kind of the baseline of "Will it work on Multiplayer?" Desideratus' gun mod, for example, doesn't add any new assets and simply modifies existing assets and code, so if you find a gun using his mod and go on a server it'll be fine. Desideratus' Exploration Enhanced, for example, adds a bunch of new stuff (light drones, fission lamp, rocksaws, flareguns), new biomes (although this probably wouldn't be too big of a deal as the server is the one loading all the worlds, so you'd just never run into any of the new biomes), so most of the new assets would just not load / not work in multiplayer. Now, if the server is running Exploration Enhanced then it's 100% fine.

Question for people who make Dungeons. I'm going to be working on some Arms Dealers for my next Mantizi update. I want to build 'em a small building, nothing too fancy. I kind of get how I'm supposed to actually go about doing that, and any other stuff I can reverse engineer from working files. But how am I supposed to test this, exactly? Do I have to go find a new one with every small revision? If it's going to be that big of a pain in the rear end, I just won't do it, and focus my efforts elsewhere.

Babyface Mingo posted:Don't install any mod that adds new assets and go onto a multiplayer server is kind of the baseline of "Will it work on Multiplayer?" To add to this: Things will usually work on your end (Client-side); For instance, the light bots in EE will still shed light that you can see. Because the bots are not stock assets, other players will not see them, but the light they shed IS all stock, so they'll see the light. A new gun will work if it's using a vanilla projectile, but nobody will be able to see the gun part; New weapon projectiles won't work, since when your game tells the server that you hit X thing with Y bullet, the server is all "nope there is no Y bullet". Hope that makes sense Be aware, Exploration Enhanced will probably cause some degree of multiplayer weirdness, up to and including straight breaking poo poo! Here's my solution for EE/MP: I have an extra folder in my Starbound/mods directory called "DON'T USE", and two different characters (A SP and MP). When I wanna do singleplayer and use EE, everything is normal. When I wanna do multiplayer, before loading the game I put EE into the "DON'T USE" folder, so that the game won't recognize it; I can then play the game MP no problem. When I go back to SP, again before I load the game I just move it back up one, to the mods folder proper. Be aware that loading your EE file without EE will wipe your singleplayer worlds; Fortunately loading your MP character with EE shouldn't wipe anything because worlds are serverside; You'll probably just need to quit the game and remove EE before MP will work right. I've not had any issues with this method, but I still feel like I should put a disclaimer that if poo poo breaks, I am sorry, but it's probably not my fault  m.hache posted:How does this affect the coordinates that people are posting? Like if I wanted to go get a pulse jump from the goon coords will it be different? My drones are tiered differently than the lightdrones, and do not provide air (I like having to cheese between light and heat, and it makes Dark Moons super-tense). They do not conflict, so feel free to run both! Babe Magnet posted:Question for people who make Dungeons. Desideratus fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Jan 29, 2014 |

I am the Lorax and I speak for the trees! Don't know how common these are but a desert planet at -36760283, 80156011 in alpha has truffula trees. I feel a strange need to plant a whole damned planet of these. I'll ask that you do the same, if you please.

Desideratus posted:You should be able to add them in, then you'll need to find one. I think if you test multiple iterations, the same dungeon will still spawn at the same spot on the same planet, just with whatever changes you add; At least that's how it seemed to work for me! So not as big of a pain in the rear end as I thought it would be, but still... not looking forward to it. I'll have to get some bros to help me locate one after I release the update, in that case. This update, which should be done tonight if I don't get bored and start work on my Skyrim mod again, is going to be Tier8 armor and the arms dealers/dungeon.

Even found what I think is Milla Jovovich's outfit from Fifth Element. Oh, and hey, for the guy taking mod requests, would it be possible to build a version of the refinery that allows you to throw in junk weapons/shields/torches and turn them into pixels or raw materials? at least till the devs add the ability to sell things, anyway.

Probably not, because the reason for wipes is because of incompatibility issues between the new version of the executable and and old save data. It's not like they do wipes just for shits and giggles.
