This really needs to be better explained in-game because it seems to be what most people think. The game never says "Hey, go get some fuel!" it says "Hey! Build this! Do that! Now build this! Kill this extremely hard thing!" and doesn't even mention the fact that you can fly a hundred trillion miles away and steal an anvil from a medieval blacksmith and make some gold armor right away.

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.

Guns feel kind of useless because of this; if you can get a new tier's guns right away they'll be useful for the x0, x1, x3, x3, x4ish TLs and then useless in anything higher. Chances are you won't find them until you're on the x5+ TL planets anyway.

crowfeathers posted:How do I even get NPCs in my base or ship? IS that working? Sometimes you get a 'spawner' as loot in a place of interest, which is a consumable item that, when placed, will spawn one NPC. You can find, for example, a "Stim Spawner", then place it on your ship. Beam to the surface, then back to your ship, and it's replaced with a Stim Merchant. You can accidentally kill them and they do not respawn, so be careful. I'm pretty sure monsters can also kill them. e: Some spawners can be crafted, in Tier 2 of crafting you get the ability to craft spawners for villagers and guards of your species.

I blame all of the streamers for the confusion; every single streamer I watched stayed on one planet and played the game like it was Terraria. I remember watching the absolutely atrocious Totalbiscuit/Jesse Cox stream which was 14 minutes long, and thinking at the end of the 14 minutes, "It took them 14 minutes to accomplish what I expect to have done in about 90 seconds" and I was right. I watched one where they actually killed the first boss after about six hours, which was the most "successful" early stream I saw, and I still managed to do what they had done in about an hour and a half. Famous minecraft/terraria streamers are notoriously bad at videogames (Not a dig against them, but these are games that are made entertaining on stream by creativity and humor, not skilled play) and they should have given some of the early copies to people like Kripp who are actually good at videogames and give viewers a good idea of how to advance in videogames. e: vvv the boss stays around if you fail to kill it; I died a few times on my attempt before deciding to cheese it and he stayed on the planet each time. There may be some kind of timer before he disappears but if you put the beacon down at a planet's spawn point you can jump right back down he's still there and you can keep damaging him, he's easy enough to graveyard rush and you could do it with the starting weapon and no armor with enough patience deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Slime posted:It doesn't help that the tutorial is pretty terrible, really. It's telling you to sit around making picks and armor and stuff, when you've already got access to your ship. It's easy to assume that the distress beacon it tells you to make is for the sake of getting off the planet in the first place, and it never tells you that you can refuel your ship and go somewhere else. I kind of thought that crafting the distress beacon would get me some starter fuel and get me what I needed to make more, but what I actually got was a complete asskicking. In fact, the game is actively leading you towards scrubbing around in the dirt for ore when you can already gently caress off and get equipment that's far better than the stuff the tutorial is trying to make you craft. Yeah, definitely - the game teaches you a very non-optimal advancement path. I generally skip tutorials in everything (which makes it impossible for me to learn how to play games like Crusder Kings  ) but that served me very well in this game.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:This was not the case for me. I died almost immediately in my first attempt and beamed down right away and he was gone. Then in my second attempt I cased myself in with some blocks and shot him with my bow and arrow, and got dispirited when I saw it would take me like 10 minutes of shooting him with that. Then a couple minutes in he just up and left, I couldn't kill him fast enough. My third attempt had me with much better armor and a better weapon but I still died eventually because I couldn't manage all the penguins. Upon immediately beaming back down, he was gone. My fourth attempt was the cheese attempt. Building a beacon 4 times takes a long time. Especially when during the first three attempts, you don't know you can fuel a spaceship with logs and coal. I've only played Singleplayer, so I don't know what made it special for me.

I dug aaaallll the way down to the very bottom of an absolutely enormous TL29 desert planet And I'm still finding nothing but Iron and Copper and Coal  The highest ore I found on the entire way down was a deposit of 3 gold, and 17 silver ore. Where the hell are you guys finding Platinum/Titanium? That diamond pickaxe was full durability when I started digging down, by the way Also, I found a pretty major bug that I'm sure a few others have found as well. When you get to the Lava layer, foreground tiles stop spawning, every block is filled with lava, but ore can still spawn. If you place, for example, a dirt block in the lava, any ore in that tile will then be found inside the dirt block. You can use this to tunnel through the lava - so you could go straight through huge deposits of ore digging through only dirt or mud or other weak substances. Wasn't very effective in my experience but if you looked around enough you would probably have some luck. e: I assume this same strategy would work for building underwater structures too; it clears liquids when you dig up whatever you placed; though I doubt there's ore underwater. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Once you get the Gravity Sphere you can get huge amounts of any ore by going to TL39 Desert planets and mining out every Fine Sand deposit you find.

Paradoxish posted:The big problem with underground exploration is just that digging is really slow. I've found tons and tons of cool stuff underground, but getting to it is really tedious. And this is coming from someone who would build giant tunnel systems in Minecraft for fun. My biggest complaint is that I dig in a 3x3 box but my character is 4 blocks tall. Make the pickaxe dig a 3x4 grid or a 2x4 grid so I only have to dig once in any direction to move, and I'll be happy. Currently I'll dig straight down to try and find cool stuff but any kind of horizontal movement is frustrating and I don't do it.

Sure; Check the Google Doc for any coordinates: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kHix192pKvjA2Q5PSuU7zNMuaRxqN2B1N718t4FWmwk/edit It doesn't have everything yet but there are 4 techs and a number of different locations/bases listed. I've highlighted Techs with bold blue text so they're easier to find. quote:9236086, 72611326 You need Beta Sector unlocked. I can't really provide a guide for this because I cheesed the UFO before they made him destroy blocks. You could possibly still use this strategy, because I'm not sure if he can kill blocks above him:  Once Beta Sector is unlocked, fly to the coordinates/planet above. The enemies here are going to be really tough right away because they are level 14 and you don't have 14 armor or armor pen, so avoid them as best as you can. Bring a lot of big stacks of building materials and just build bridges over enemies, trap them inside rock, whatever you need to do (use shift+click to place 1x1 blocks and save material). Keep running right on the planet until you reach a second Flesh Forest. Somewhere in this Flesh Forest, very near the surface, is a High-Tech Chest which has the Gravity Bubble blueprint. Use the blueprint, fly to your base, use the 3d Printer and select "Techs", equip Gravity Bubble. Pressing space while in the air will now float you upward - depending on your armor's Energy Regen (lightning symbol) this could be infinite or could drain your energy. Once you have Gravity Bubble it's really easy to just float over other bosses (or rare monsters, or anything you need to kill) and enclose them in blocks like you see in my UFO screenshot above. As far as I am aware, the second two bosses do not currently have the ability to break through blocks. Unlock your way to whatever ore you need by cheesing bosses. The next step is finding a TL that works best for the ore you specifically want - I didn't keep notes on any of this so I can't really help. Once you know what TL it spawns at, find a Desert Planet of that TL. What you want to do is hover around with the Gravity Bubble ignoring all enemies. You're looking for big pits of Fine Sand - the sand that falls down when the tile under it is broken. There will often be large ore deposits inside the Fine Sand, and you can mine it very quickly by digging your way to the bottom of the sand pit, then digging horizontally. You dig through sand very fast and this causes any ore above you to break and fall down to you. Some of these sand pits are enormous and once they're cleared you will be hovering out of the pit with your Gravity Bubble with 500+ ore of various types in tow. You can technically do this without Gravity Bubble but the safety and climbing speed provided by Gravity Bubble are what make this method so great. e: Also be prepared to clear your inventory of like 20 stacks of Fine Sand every 15-30 minutes. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Dec 6, 2013 |

Anime Schoolgirl posted:If people are wondering about the non-existence of platinum, it only appears in the last sector of the game despite it being absolutely necessary for the second and third sectors of the game. Replacing the contents of Starbound/assets/biomes/oredistributions.lvltables with the contents of this pastebin (use raw paste data) will make it present on most planets. This is definitely a good fix to use, though I don't know if it will affect visiting planet seeds - it's worth nothing though that platinum is not necessary to progress, the progression path goes Steel -> Titanium -> Durasteel. Platinum enables a tier of weapons and armor, which in all honesty are still too weak to beat the third boss with, so you're probably going to want to cheese him anyway, and if you're cheesing him your weapons/armor don't matter. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Dec 6, 2013 |
