Tatum Girlparts posted:Seriously why can't we just have both? Maybe compromise and say Mater Manipulators are faster but Picks and Axes cover more area? That way we can just have our manipulators if we want and there's still a reason to have a Pick for big projects and poo poo. I think it is more an issue that picks get replaced outright after the first 3 tiers with sci-fi poo poo like a mining laser or something. Rereading Tiy's post, he doesn't mention that the MM gets upgrade, just that the tools you use get replaced when you get to the point you can make them. So the issue I am having is that I'd rather have the separate tools to see how they can become more interesting in their own right then just having slightly faster versions of the MM. I mean, I would rather have a hitscan style mining laser than a MM that breaks stuff down faster, but still has its built in limitation of how far out it can manipulate for balance reasons. They have all this stuff already ready, just seems silly to throw out out all now.

Slime posted:The tech and the basics just feel kinda poorly meshed together, too. Why does making armor on my anvil use up pixels? I'd give it a pass if I was later in the game and was using high-tech armor, but I'm smashing metal into shape. That shouldn't cost funky future space materialmoney. Good thing tonight's patch reduces the values or removes them completely for early armor and weapons, then.

Reposting from the old thread, might warrant going in the OP if confirmed: I think that platinum isn't spawning on T3 or below. I've gotten hundreds of titanium ore from T3 lava spawn mining, but no platinum. Seems like a bug. Is there anyone at T4 who can let us know that it's actually spawning?

Space is becoming an issue on my Starship. I know the idea is to build a base on a planet, but that's very inconvenient when I just want to explore. Also, is there any way to sort inventory?

I think one of my favorite things so far is that each race has their own crops, and that the Glitch get robo-tomatoes and robo-radishes. Farming is neat.  But I have a question. I just beat the penguin UFO, got the molten core, and made the metalworking bench. When I use it, I don't seem to have any new recipes. Likewise, when I beat the UFO I didn't get a quest complete message or a new quest popping up. Did I run into a bug, or is there something I haven't done yet?

Fintilgin posted:Can you "claim" an existing hostile structure like the prison and make it your home or will enemies respawn there? I've been using one planet as a kind of home base/storage shelter and the glitch castle I built all my poo poo right next to hasn't had a single npc respawn, hostile or otherwise, since I cleared it out like 12 hours ago. So probably no.

I have a lifetime Developer 3 server at CloudAtCost: http://www.cloudatcost.com/pricing.php I think this should be able to run a rather large server, but I haven't even connected to it once and I'm too lazy to set things up. If anyone wants to set up a Goon Starbound server on here, shoot me an email at bluntforceawful@gmail.com and I can give you ssh access or whatever to do what you need. It's also a very affordable place to get a server to run your own thing (didn't realize they extended the one-time-payment promo into a permanent service)

I'm... really liking this game. Played it last night for a few hours with a buddy of mine. We've pretty well explored the 3 planets in our starting system and are working on silver armor. Decided to roleplay an inquisitor and his ogryn sidekick and purge any insufficiently human settlements we come across. There's an avian airship and town we have access to but we haven't cleared them out yet (found a few lone huts and razed those, though). Waiting to finish this tier of armor. Our little base:  Newly constructed Avian Welcome Lodge:  My pimped out space barge:  Tengames posted:jesus christ you guys are so goddamn loving quick to defend the goddamn ~story~, that god forbid your loving item that relocates matter with energy beams might be a bit more practical then smacking a tree with a blunt stone ax, and that players not have to wait for multiple teirs for it. It's a videogame, dude. You're using axes and pickaxes because they're both intuitive and established as part of the genre. Sure, they could have made it so that you just upgrade the matter manipulator, but using ores to do so doesn't make a lot of sense and isn't intuitive as a result. Any further argument from either side is just sperging.

I have to say that from a purely game play perspective I like the copper-iron-silver progression rather than a bullshit science one. I know from the get go how strong the copper items are compared to iron but I probably wouldn't if it was something like plasma-proton-nanomachines. I'm loving the game so far and can't wait for the to add more poo poo. My only real problem with it is that there's literally no reason to go underground unless a building leads you there and once you find the few structures on each planet there's nothing keeping you there. I imagine these problems will be fixed with content later though. DrManiac fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Is there anything I can do about the horrible lighting situation when digging? If I'm using a two-handed weapon or the pick and accidentally break into an area, I have to quick put down a torch and if there's a monster present, I'm generally dead before I can get that far (since I might have taken fall damage). The flashlight is nice, but I don't really use any one-handed weapons. Also, is there any way to use two techs at the same time? I have the dash and the double jump, but can only use one.

Starter planet Alpha Gamma Sci Majoris I (forest): X=11115083 Y=-81448917 To the left of spawn (about 5 screens), down the left hand side of two interconnected cave systems is a giant Floran prison. I haven't scoped the whole thing out yet, but it is at least 6 levels with a lava pool and guards carrying lasers and big rear end swords. I've been stealing everything and tricking out my ship.

My Impressions As A Beta Tester - No natural regen at all is really killer, especially in a game where poo poo can pretty much two-shot you at the moment. 'Just sit in a tent or a bed for a minute or so to get your health back' is a pretty dumb answer when the point of the game is to be moving around all the time. It doesn't even need to be a massive amount, just enough to slowly patch you up over time if you stay out of trouble for a while. Along with that, bandages should probably give some small amount of instant healing followed by a bit of the health regen they already have, so if people really want some fast healing in the middle of combat they can choose to burn through more bandages than would be needed during a post-battle patch-up. - Caveman tier is still pretty boring and weird when compared with the rest of the game, and I've already had multiple people ask if it's literally just Terraria on a bunch of smaller worlds instead of one big one because they saw me hopping around with an axe and pick. Some revamp of the player's initial scenario to have it make more sense than jetting around in a spaceship while still relying on smacking rocks together would probably go a long way to help people's initial impressions, because a lot of the cool sci-fi poo poo is either being used by your enemies at that point or completely unavailable to the player until after a while. - The game is cool and whatever but it desperately does need a lot of cool underground poo poo to be found on basically every planet. I'm well aware that not everything is implemented. (no poo poo) I'm just hoping that the dev team knows that even with the massive amount of planets to visit that people will want to spelunk a lot on the ones they think are neat. - Crossbows are cool. That is all. - Having better access to bombs as a viable tool and weapon would go a long way towards mixing up combat and exploration. Maybe an early-ish crafting recipe? In any case, thanks for all the hard work Tiy and crew! Game shows a lot of promise. e: holy poo poo whoever got varinn that custom title is the gooniest motherfucker

Agent Kool-Aid posted:My Impressions As A Beta Tester If you head to a Jungle planet or often even other planets, there's sometimes a ton of surface vegetation that you can cut with your sword to get plant fiber. It's easy enough to get that I'm running around with ~100+ bandages constantly even though I'm spamming them like crazy. There are Red Stims for faster healing in combat, which you can find in some structure types, as drops, or get a Stim Merchant in your ship/base that sells them. Also it can't really be stressed enough that caveman tier can be skipped entirely by flying around the galaxy like Han Solo and stealing everything from every civilization you find. You can find all of the toolbenches you need early on, tons of materials and food, and magical weapons. All of the "cool sci-fi stuff" is available right away, you just have to fly somewhere and find it.

Nomikos posted:OK, trapped the tier 3 boss and killed it, unlocked the X Sector, and am busily racing towards the end of the tech tree. Gone through Durasteel, Aegisalt, and Ferozium so far. No more new crafting recipes so far except more melee weapons, basic furniture, and racial armor, so I guess they weren't lying when they said the higher-tier stuff isn't enabled/implemented. How did you trap it in the first place? I tried summoning it once, saw one massive wing ascend off-screen over my base, then two fireballs crashing into the roof and nobody heard from him ever again. I've got the materials for a new decoy but I'm worried the boss will just gently caress off again.
