Man it takes like what, a minute to register an account to download the linked mod? Why would you need to interact with anyone in their forum to do that? In actual chat, use picks more as a consumable mining boost than your general tool. Generally I use them for rock and ore, anything besides that tends to just get MM'd. Honestly, they should just literally turn them into mining boosts, so you'd build a copper augment or silver augment, and have it boost your MM by however much for however long.

Hey, I'm glad everyone liked the mod! Please forgive the longpost in advance while I cover the response.ZypherIM posted:Is it possible to tinker with big town/dungeon spawning stuff? I'm imaging a mod that tweaks up chances for certain races in certain biomes. Something like more likely to get a floran dungeon/city in a jungle world, or avian on a desert. Depending on how the code is setup, having each thing put on a planet make another less likely to be placed would probably also be good, if only so you don't get like 5 penal colonies in a row too often. code:
ZypherIM posted:I think I'd like to see at least the major biome listed in the planet description, if not the sub-biome. code:
The alternative is to create a copy of the prism planet field for every one of these primary biomes and give them different names. That would be easily possible, but it would take a while. Maybe I'll do that at some point. I've already done that with the ocean type planets, just because they don't get paired with hollow earth biomes very well. (Yes that's an entire underwater world) Tenbux McGee posted:You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Hollow worlds looks rather interesting, assuming its not too common. Definitely running this when I get the chance. What I could do, again, is make a new category of planet that's "Prismatic Hollow" or "Prismatic Sunken Ocean" and make that more rare, then remove the ability for standard prism planets to have those features. That's probably the route I'll go, once I have more time. Only downside is it ruins the surprise of plunging into a lava ocean halfway down a cave. I'm not sure about minibiomes, which is what those buried outposts and things are. I could look into it though. As for saplings, they work perfectly from what I've found. They're tied into spawning so you can get fully functional saplings for the impossible trees that generate. ZypherIM posted:Played a bit more, didn't notice any other biome transitions that were wonky like oceans. However, Vib did you up settlement spawn rate? I was having 2-3 per planet, which felt a tad excessive. Actually, it might have been ok, but I would walk through a glitch town, 2 screens into a florian town, and then 2 screens past that an avian tomb. If they were evenly spread about the planets it probably wouldn't have felt as weird. As for numerical difficulty, that's just how the standard game handles it. If I can find where that's defined, I might tweak it in a standalone mod. Rupert Buttermilk posted:So, Vib, if CF asked to incorporate everything you've done into the game-proper, would you be cool with that? I didn't even really write anything new, I just made a new planet type that pulls from basically every pool. I like the variety in the game but it seemed a shame so much of it was bound to tiers and paired biomes. Plus, any time you wanted a particular difficulty, you were forced to pick from a few narrow biomes because of the threat level. Now I get to experience more of that diversity. So yeah, I'd love to see wildcard stars like this in vanilla, if they ever wanted to add something like that. They'd probably do it better than me at least.

I would really like a design-your-own-planet mod at the endgame. Some kind of Genesis Device that lets you pick the biome, tree types, creature types, weather, background, etc and create a planet.

And to pick the creatures and plants, you actually have to bring captured creatures and saplings you've gathered.

This was my favorite part about Spore: all the creative availability you had. Too bad there wasn't a good game with it. Kinda the opposite of Starbound actually. Either way, making planets that had stuff like blue grass and purple water would be cool.

I'm liking a lot of the new stuff they put in, but GODDAMN is the new boss painfully unfun. Probably wouldn't be nearly as bad if I didn't have to go through the entire dungeon each goddamn time, or if falling from the top of the boss arena to the bottom didn't one-shot you. ... Anyone made a zero-fall-damage mod yet? That seems like it'd be a major improvement, like Glowing Ores.

I haven't gotten any feedback on if it was poo poo or not, but at the top of page 19 I posted the run down of how I prep/get-to the boss. It should only take a minute or two to get back to the boss. For the fight itself I trigger the bottom left switch at the start, then move clockwise the entire time. Parry when I have to cross a beam, heal every time you get hurt. Basically the only time I die on it anymore is when I accidentally side dash and travel through 4 different beams and insta-gib myself.

I know, and I appreciate it for planned jumps into the abyss (not that I've got to use it much yet), but my reflexes are just a little too slow to activate it mid-fall when I miss a platform. Thanks for the suggestion, though! edit: Why do the beams on the third stage not even match up to where their graphics are!?! Is that really so much to ask?

Beams hosed up on third stage is something that happens every time since last patch. Before it was kind of mixed for me. The key is there is a safe spot right above and right below the boss. If you're going clockwise, you hit the cannon, the left two switches, and stop at the top and you should still be at 1/3-1/2 HP. Heal up with bandages and water if you have it, then go do the right side. The boss should also stop the lasers to summon a dude sometime during that part, hit the cannon to kill him and sword off the flesh guy.

To be fair, the first time I was on that boss, I didn't know about the shortcut and after about the 3rd time through I just did /admin, which makes you immune to damage, ran through and turned it off after beating him.

Space ship chat. I love the style of the Apex equipment and furniture overall, but I just hate the awkward diamond spread of their ship upgrades if the wiki and old info is to be believed. http://starbounder.org/Ship_Upgrade While the Novakid space train is incredibly samey by comparison to anything else, at least you can't theoretically trap yourself in a worst case "I don't even have dirt blocks in my inventory" scenario. I don't give the Avian ship as much as a hard time because "I need to install some stairs to reach the floor above me" doesn't feel as dumb as "I need to install stairs to escape the basement help." Not end of the world, it's just one of those little useless details you think about. Alone, in the depths of space. You have fallen into your ship's bottom floor and can't get out. Forever. (because you are to stupid to remember you can teleport from anywhere inside your ship). Also, while the times I've poked at the game have been vanilla+glowing ores so far, all you guys making these sweet QoL and just for fun mods are doing great robziel posted:So... how do you repair your FTL drive? I went to the outpost bought the crystals and when I got back to my ship the AI said I didn't have the necessary materials, what am I missing? Dig down and do not stop until you see reddish crystals. Dig up 20 of those planet core crystals or whatever the hell they call them. You don't have to go all the way down to the lava, at least in my case (was close though). EDIT: Okay, correction.

The Liquid Echirus Crystals in the shop at the outpost are fuel, not the objective of the quest. Talk to the AI and check the Missions tab, you'll get the crystals you need at the end of the Echirus Mining Facility mission.

So hey, Prismatic Stars update! First off, I've retooled the planets. Planets have 0-2 dungeons now instead of 1-3 so they shouldn't feel so crowded. Also, I didn't realize I hadn't done this already, but I added every possible dungeon type to these planets. Certain ones (like the 'generic' scifi-style dungeon) wouldn't show up. Now you can find anything! I've also separated hollow/sunken ocean planets into their own types. Prismatic planets are now solid (though they can have a variety of subsurfaces, including moonlike or desertlike). But you may also find planets like these: They have the same composition of biomes, dungeons, etc. The only difference is that Hollow prism planets are "land of the lost" style hollow earth biomes beneat the surface. This means you could potentially have up to 3 major biomes per planet! For instance, a desert and a volcano up above and a lush garden underneath. Sunken ocean prism planets don't have biomes underneath, just huge "ocean floor" style sunken lakes/oceans. Might be dangerous! I've also added custom graphics, which are really lazy but whatever. On the starmap, they shift hue as they twinkle! Grab the new version here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/euhkf3kp2jey08r/Prismatic%20Stars.rar?dl=0 As always, let me know if there's any problems!

Found a banjo. Decided to try to whip up an ABC song to test custom creation. It plays fine in the player, but Starbound itself completely ignores the tempo notation and plays it assgratingly slowly. Someone on the CF forums posted some kind of ABC editor to get things working (which is pretty stupid since tempo is part of the abc notation specs and why would it not respect that?) but it hasn't been updated for Upbeat Giraffe so none of the instruments show up. What the hell.
