I've been thinking, we was all promised something good, but in the end what we got was something bad and different, this is catfishing. or in this case, Chucklefishing.

You can teleport directly to racial flags, iirc. I'm going to patiently wait for touch damage to be modded back out of the game (for the second time, what a concept) before I so much as touch this update. It's a shame, I was actually really excited for this because all of the new weapon/gun skills are actually a good idea and a step in the right direction. I thought "hey, maybe they've finally pulled their head out of their rear end and figured out that fun things are good," and then that happened. It's like a loving burrito of good ideas wrapped in a sticky, bitter tortilla of spite. This game is always finding new ways to surprise and disappoint me, but I guess that in itself is impressive.

They really need to release some kind of documentation for modders that they update with every patch to tell us what's different. I just spend the past two or three hours updating my race mod to meet the standards of the vanilla races and I can't figure out why my race doesn't show up in-game. I can't see anything different about my files, other modded races show up just fine, and the log is telling me absolutely nothing.

SovietPotatoe posted:Hey, I was curious if you could shed some light on some of the design process behind this update. You guys removed damage on touch with the previous combat update but now you added it back in, why is that? I mean is this some divisive topic with half the dev team wanting it in and the other half not or something? Why the back and forth?

funniest part of the new patch is that the damage on touch makes all these special abilities worthless since enemies will just walk through them into you dealing constant damage and killing you in 1.5 seconds.

Whenever they release a new patch I always start fresh just to see if the game flows any different, and let me tell you... Making you dig to the center of the very first, most boring planet for some orange rocks you only use like 2 or 3 times all game is still by far the most annoying garbage ever. You should only need to spend 10 to 15 minutes tops on that planet to learn the controls and maby mine some iron or copper. It wouldn't be so bad if you could use core fragments to upgrade your teleporter to beam you up from further into a planets core so you only need to experience climbing back up once to apriciat not needing to do it again. Edit: maby next year when they release the next patch.

to be honest, a lot of the changes do sound nice. except for the damage on touch. just do what a million people have said and make it so that some random enemies actually can do damage on touch and show that on their sprite. jesus. why is this apparently so difficult.

Damage on touch does indeed suck cocks. I like how your gear boosts your attack power though now, I've never felt like I'm at the dreaded "gently caress 3 hits and I die from full HP" feeling while still feeling competitive enough to last until I can upgrade my gear. I think the hit as close to a sweet spot as they're going to in that regard. Currently have a Human in full Durasteel poo poo. Guns are ehhh... too much energy drain still, they need to let go and just lower energy costs by another 25-50% and say gently caress it. Spear with Flurry kicks rear end. Hammer's knockback is sweet as gently caress too. Also want to note, enemy humanoids DO need to hit you still rather than use the lame touch-attack poo poo. This is cool and good. They need to actually swing their weapon and connect to do damage.

Kly posted:are enemies still random? there are unique monsters now, but random monsters are also still a thing also i was thinking back on symphony of the night, which had damage on touch, and really the only reason that 'worked' was due to the fact that every part of that game was deliberately designed the way it was. things could be built around the way enemies worked and you never really ran into the issue of damage blobs hopping around procedurally generated cliffs. also, you know, there wasn't any poo poo like walking slower when going backwards.

Hey remember how the entire point of the game's design/file structure was ostensibly so that a semblance of coherency could be kept even between major updates, which would mean players wouldn't lose their characters, and mods from one version would keep on working into the next? Yeah. What happened to that? Not having to update mods is something that is game-changing. Installing a mod and then having it forever is huge. Now, I get it, if it changes something that's not in the game anymore, like a gun mod and they take out guns. But the whole point of consistent files was so that modders and mod users could have a much easier time with it. So what the gently caress?

My reaction time was not quick enough for a photo, but I found an avian airship on a magma world. It lasted approximately 10 seconds, not even enough time for me to get to the quartermaster, before a meteor shower blew it to pieces, and then the bouncing fire rain effect came in and burnt the majority of the backwall. Surprisingly, most of the crew survived and are now stranded on the surface. Here's the aftermath:

There should be a race of Dog People, maybe replace the humans with dogs but keep their dialogue the same? Just throwing some ideas out there.

That's a p decent idea. I think there's a modded race of wolf dudes that just use human stuff for all of their tech (armors, weapons, ships, furniture, etc.) but the forums are still down so I can't check. Making humans dog people would be so, so easy. It's almost literally just modifying the base head file and some of their skin color choices.

Maybe there should be Novakid villages, except the ones that aren't wild west villages would be caveman settlements of violent novakids I mean, neither will happen, but it's a good idea, eh?

holy lol, hosed up if true I feel like they'd rather be playing this game than making it. The best changes are always art related, and every update seems to have new biomes or mini dungeons, cause they just want to build stuff that looks cool rather than work on systems.
