So, is level 40 the highest the game goes right now? I thought they said it went up to level 100, and I'm finding plutonium, solarium, and uranium that I don't know what to do with if I dig really deep, but I can't find any way to get past level 40.

My two cents after playing for 50 hours and getting Autumn the Floran maxed out:

- Game is already incredible. I can't believe this is an early beta. Tons of fun and I'm excited to play the complete product some day with my buddies.
- Echoing sentiments about inventory management for construction materials. The generic matter absorb/place idea that everybody keeps posting without really reading other people's posts is definitely a good idea.
- More animal noises would be nice. Sure, the monster looks unique, but they all make horse/pig/mouse noise, so it breaks the uniqueness a bit for me. It's kind of like playing Oblivion with the same 6 voice actors for every NPC. Throw in some random stuff we wouldn't expect from animals or something.
- Planet variety is great, but could be improved. Weather and atmospheric effects are my favorite feature of many games, despite how they're usually just decoration. As some others have said, there's a lot of potential for more types of weather that dramatically affect gameplay (i.e. a blizzard comes in and decreases visibility and heat). Currently, we have rain, which doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't even make the background get dark and grey and cloudy or anything. The lightning is nice, though. As for other planet things, I liked what someone mentioned about the size of the planet having a big impact on mineral content and gravity. The backgrounds are also gorgeous, and I love that they show the moons/planets that are nearby, but I'd like more nighttime variety. Aurora? Fog? There's a lot to explore here.
- The coming patch seems like a step in the right direction as far as progression and combat are concerned, so I won't blab about that here.
- How do I use dye?
- I love digging through sand/gravel caverns.

I'm pretty disappointed with both the variety of instruments

Surely you're kidding? I found a harmonica, violin, keytar, clarinet, saxaphone, electric lead guitar, and I know there are plenty of others like the microphone, classical guitar, trumpet, pan flute, and probably more. What do you need to be satisfied, a full symphony? Somebody mod this goon a set of wind chimes and some timpani.

Some people complain about the Nightlies being too buggy and deleting your save all the time, but I feel like that's balanced out by the fact that the nightly no longer launches at all anyway.

That's the spirit!

I actually just downloaded and booted this up with 3 friends.

The game downloaded first. Then it downloaded again.

Took 15 minutes to boot the first time.

See the comments above about Novakids.

Seems pretty much like the same game with slightly more background parallax.

I could be wrong, but I'm probably not.

but so far progression feels miles ahead of what it used to be.

Because that's really something to shoot for. My dead grandmother has progressed more miles since launch than the game has.

Well yeah, improving the game is something to shoot for.

I'm not a starbound fanboy but some of the ways people are finding to poo poo on this patch seems a little absurd. How is it that you can find something negative in even "wow, they really improved this aspect by a lot"?

It seems like some things still aren't good at all but they've also made improvements in certain areas, so I hope they keep it up.

Well Dr. Video Games Ph.D. you see, if you find a corpse floating in the river, drag it out, spray it with Lysol, and tie a pretty bow on it, you've improved a lot of things about the bloated, lifeless corpse.

why do people keep talking about "sides" in this thread

the game is too one-dimensional to have sides
