Rather Dashing posted:Desideratus, I was going to give your Exploration Enhanced a go this evening but I noticed the big 'use only in OpenGL mode' warning. My framerate gets cut in half using that and, being on an older system, it's not great to start with. Is there any chance future updates will be compatible with the regular mode? The Iron Rose posted:I just ignored the warning because my backup system lags like hell on the regular mode. OpenGL is unusable for me. So far I haven't noticed any problems though, what exactly am I missing out on by not using openGL? You can always TRY regular mode, and if your game runs then it's fine, probably; You'll possibly see some graphical glitches and errors stemming for a texelOffset error, but it should all be graphical in nature, no "real" damage caused. I don't think it'll ever work quite right with the normal mode, sadly  Sorry I've been unavailable lately, the wife has the flu so I've been dealing with that.

Since the latest character wipe, our server that previously hosted 6 of us fine struggles with even one person. There is tons of serverside lag to the point where we can hit stationary monsters instantly because it registers every hit on them several seconds later. And then eventually the server just craps out and takes itself out, giving a client-server connection severed message. Did the updates really add on to the minimum specs for servers so much? Yeah, it was weather effect doubling CPU usage. Guess we have to upgrade! Age of the Atomic Mom fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Feb 1, 2014 |

Lallander posted:How many people are noticing this? If it is just the one it is possible that one of them traveled to a planet pre update and one post update. That happened while we were both in the same room, and like I said, both running Furious Koala. I didn't bother screenshotting them all, but after we found that discrepancy, we verified it across about 20 planets in a couple systems. Anybody else on a Mac want to post a shot of which version of that planet they get? Main Paineframe posted:Roofs need to be automatically adjusted somehow to suit the weather of the planet they're on. It's just cosmetic for most weather types, but when it comes to the meteor showers, alien buildings always seem to have perfect roofs when I first arrive and be completely chewed up by the time I leave. The funniest unintended (hopefully?) consequence so far of the weather upgrades is that when it rains, places that have extinguishables on the floor (like stoves and fires etc) will have those items get de-placed as soon as someone opens an exterior door. The second-story open balconies common in Avian markets will fill up with water until someone opens the door and floods the whole house.

Thief posted:Finally got around to filling my ship up after the wipe: Nice setup, I like the treasure map and bed nook (what type is that?) above the teleporter. I got a bed and office chair taking up more vertical space for mine. And an obsessive dirt strip on the top half of the ship to grow food on the go, though persistent farmables and a homeworld mean I can probably stop that habit. I'm also reminded of how  I am over the fact "Wall" decorations can not be placed if there is a ground object in the way, and ground objects can not be placed if there is a "wall" object in the way. No you can't hang a Banana poster slightly behind the kitchen counter, that would be crazy.EDIT: vvv I feel your pain. USUALLY the ship lights aren't an issue, but sometimes they decide to clip through the top of things. Also, is there such thing as a cosmetic Back or Head item that simply HIDES your equipped back or head item? Section Z fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Feb 1, 2014 |

If you can summon the dragon you can make gun turrets. Once you make one you can use the 3d printer on the ship to buy more for 1 pixel each. why run off to find a gun dealer when you can have fifty autoturrets?

Two turrets, spaced out, facing inwards. Summon the dragon between them, duck underground, and watch the dragon spaz out trying to figure out what to do. For the Jelly, just use ten times as many turrets!

Desideratus posted:It's the early version of my Advanced Workstations mod! I can't tell if I'm just being an idiot, but I can't find the Bulk Refinery. I used all of the starmap upgrades, as far as I know, but it isn't showing up. Semi-related, I know you were sort of taking requests earlier in the thread; it would be swell if you added a modern looking metalwork station and loom as part of advanced workstations. They look really out of place with the other crafting stuff. Hope your wife feels better soon.

Is there some trick to finding Ceruliam? I know it's supposed to be on TL 7 worlds, but goddamn if it doesn't seem to be the hardest to find of the late game materials. I've got Rubium coming out of my ears, but am scrounging to get through the tech upgrades that require Ceruliam. Anyone have a good planet with a lot of it?

I don't think there's any place on the official site that states so. In general, though, if it adds new items or art to the game(ship replacements, new armor, mods with fancy LUA scripts), it's probably not multiplayer compatible. If it only edits the stats on an item, there's a good chance it WILL be compatible (only YOUR pickaxe/gun/whatever will be different, though, for example). nvm no cake fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Feb 1, 2014 |

I built a skyrail to get there because there's a good variety of food items available, so I want to go back occasionally. I don't think it cost me more than 1000 skyrail segments; it's not far. One of the weapon vendors sells high-tier gear, my current poking stick is a 3100+ damage axe that I bought there.

It's a Floran prison bed, but I don't think you can actually sleep in it without the extra row of space? I'm really just waiting on the ship upgrade system to be implemented before going and modding anything. I'm storing all my seeds/foods for now but plan on building a farm. And yeah, it'd be nice to put posters as background thing but its really only a problem when in the ship as of right now and there will eventually be more room so I doubt that's gonna change.

The last time I tried mashing a Floran Prison Bed against the ceiling of my ship, I could use it just fine, but when getting out my character wound up stuck halfway through the ceiling, unable to move. Fortunately, you can beam out from anywhere in your ship. Now I just ram my bed halfway under the 3D printer. On that note, I need to check if you can use chairs or beds to teleport through walls, and thus wall off your spawned npcs somewhere you won't accidentally stab them in the face with a grenade launcher.

How has the performance been on older laptops for you guys? I'd been away from my desktop for a while and when I came back the psu was fried, so I'm playing this game on my 4 year old laptop and I get terrible framerate, especially considering it has a discrete Nvidia card (230m) and a first-gen i7 quad core.

It strikes me as kind of a natural rivalry. They occupy similar ecological niches and are probably capable of eating one another, so they compete for resources and try to eat one another. Alternatively, the Hylotl did it. It's always the goddamn Hylotl's fault somehow.
