Maybe I just got lucky or something, but I managed to oneshot the first two bosses, mine and penguin, while chugging bandages like they were candy. If you're actually wearing the relevant armor upgrades so they give stats, their attacks do maybe 25% of your hp bar max? I made about 200 bandages before I saw the first boss and I went through around 70 during the fight. Just ignored the adds and went crazy jumping all over. Also, I think it's awesome that the matter manipulator is now your endgame mining tool. It's a bit of a pain to get the first speed upgrade, but I had the best luck just going to an average difficulty world and chewing it up with diamond/platinum pickaxes.

XboxPants posted:I consider paying to have a brand of forum shame removed to be one of the most sickening acts humanly possible, second only perhaps to making minor grammatical or semantic errors that undermine your argument. It's good, strong forum shame too, not like the bad starbound ones or the teeth avatars someone overhanded onto like fifteen people in the JoJo threads Anyone doing the Your Starbound Crew stuff, I've noticed that you can damage crew members - I'm assuming the trick here is to kill them, rerun their mission to get a new spawner, and then place the spawner somewhere else in case you want to move them? What about the dudes whose spawners you just get from quests like the architect and the chef? I wish these dudes just sort of stood around or had a little set of settable animations (like I want to have my first mate just sitting down in front of a console) instead of running back and forth like a pack of crazy stupid assholes.

I wrote up a small guide on how to defeat the bosses if you are stuck on them or something : Lunar Boss : Items : x30 Bandages(always have some bandages ready before going on missions) Full set of Steel armor 1x Shield if you want to turn the boss into easy mode at the later stages For the boss itself you actually don't need good weapons(to get to the boss though thats a different matter), immediatelly when you get in start pulling the switches, you should be able to get atleast 2 up before he 'activates', in the first stage just avoid the laser, no need to waste your bandages, when the boss gets hit and the laser dissapears, repeat what you did when you first entered the area and immediatelly start pulling the switches again when you can(might take some seconds for them to work again though). I recommend just running through the lasers here(have your bandages ready) to pull the switches as fast as you can. After the boss is hit again, pull out the shield(someone tell me if the shield doesn't work, I actually did this without one), and whenever you get cornered, use it immediatelly, this is where you will probably want to have the majority of bandages avaiable. After you pull the switches again and the boss gets hit, it dies. Dreadwing : x20-40 Bandages Full set of Titanium armor 1x Titanium Hammer 1x Firearm/Crossbow/Bow(bow is terrible for this) if you want to cheese it Compared to the previous boss fight, this one is a joke, just zoom out as far as possible, or start shooting randomly to the top-right of the screen until you hit dreadwing, then keep shooting til he dies, mission done. If you don't have a ranged weapon, make sure you have as much bandages as possible for the boss fight itself, and dodge his attacks + just kill the penguins until he 'slams' the ground, he will be stunned temporarily and you can kill him this way, repeat a few times and you are done. Floran Boss : x10-20 Bandages Full set of Durasteel armor 1x Durasteel Hammer(yeah, I mostly use hammers for their damage) 1x Firearm/Crossbow/Bow if you want to cheese it Now, the floran boss as far as I have noticed didn't have a ranged attack, so if you have ranged weaponry, just stay away and keep shooting until he dies. If you don't have a ranged weapon, just hit him with a hammer, go back immediatelly, if he hit you use bandages, repeat. This boss is a complete joke because its just a stronger floran, I didn't see any unique mechanics when I fought him. Shockhopper MK I : x1 Grappling hook (A MUST-HAVE) Full Volium Armor Set 1x Volium Hammer 1x Aegisalt AR(or a cheap common assault rifle/machine pistol, the less energy it uses and the faster fire of rate the better) 10-20x Nano Bandages(alternatively have a lot of normal bandages) 1x Shield (Also a must-have) Stage 1 : Now, the legit hardest boss in the game, in the first stage just keep punching him with the hammer when he is following you(make sure to backstep the second he attacks you), then when he goes to the middle and stays static, that means he is about to fire 3 missiles at you, switch to your Aegisalt gun and shoot them down with it, the missiles will go down in one hit(you can even melee them if you want to risk that), when he is back to attempting to punch you, repeat hammering. Stage 2 : When he reaches 3/4 of his health and starts floating, take your shield and go to a corner(the one I went to was the left-most one), If you can time it correctly, attempt to block just when you are about to be hit by the electric balls, otherwise just keep holding it. After that is done, he will go back down, but his punching attack will now be replaced by a flamethrower, and he will have a 'dash attack'. Grapple to the top of the ceiling and when he uses a flamethrower, you might get hit by the flamethrower once or twice while doing it, but don't worry, you can heal that easily with how low its damage is. After a while, he will go to one of the corners, then dash to the other side once, when he hits the wall he is stunned, go back down from grapple, start hitting him, then go back to the ceiling when he brings his flamethrower, repeat this tactic til he is down to 2/4 of his health. IF at any point he goes to the middle(outside of reaching 2/4 health), that means he is about to launch missiles, go down from the ceiling and repeat the tactic from the first stage and shoot them down, he will fire 4 missiles this time. Stage 3 : When you bring him down to 2/4 of his health, he starts floating in the air, repeat the shield tactic, then go back to the top of the ceiling. His missile attack and dash attacks get an upgrade, he will launch 5 missiles, and dash twice(from one corner away, then back to that one). After you bring him down to 1/4 of his health, stage 4 begins, BUT if you are at full hp, have some bandages and the hammer, you can go up to him and start hitting him the second he starts going back to the middle and floating, this is how I defeated him without ever entering stage 4. This is quite risky though, if you don't think you can do it, take your shield and go back to the corner. Stage 4 : Yet again, same tactics, except he uses 6 missiles and dashes three times now. Probably not the best ways to defeat them, it's how I did the Dark S- Starbound bosses though. Matt141 fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jan 31, 2015 |

Wee Tinkle Wand posted:Anyone figure out what the mystery lever in the moon mission does? Using the wiring tool to peek at the wires it looks like it does something on the lower left side, down to that area where one person posted about trying to fit through a too small hole to get to. I can't figure out if it's doing anything to let me in though. 1: One in a cramped space on top of one of the bunkers with miners 2: One at the ceiling of the big cave with infected miners You need to flip both to open a locked hatch in that secret room just before the boss. Duck + Dash will get you through all the necessary "morphball" holes. If you have that, you'll have all the necessary tools even before beating the boss.

Weren't they going to fix the machine guns vs armor issue for this or did that just get added to the to-do list? Found there's still no point to the low-damage rapid-fire stuff, even if the dps is high, when you face non-monster NPCs.

Don't really mind waiting, game seems to be going fine even if I thought progress would be way faster. I think the whole thing about moving everybody in England obviously slowed progress last year, and I think they overalls some of the basic mechanics of the game.

The ones I've seen do about the same damage as there 2 handed counterparts and if you dual weald them or use a good 1 handed sword your set. It's the 2 handed ones that suck.

Yep, titanium and uranium. Just go to a radioactive star and mine poo poo on planets with high levels of radiation. And you use diamonds to buy new ship licenses. I know that the first license is 2 diamonds and second one is 4. After that, I've got no idea.

I know that character info and universe info are separate, so without deleting your universe, every character you make is in the same one, but do they all automatically have the same starter planet? That's new, right? It used to be that a new character would be settled virtually anywhere.
