I don't see why there has to be a cost incurred with extracting yourself from deep underground. They shouldn't do something that would discourage people from digging. Just having a magic mirror-type item should be enough to get back to the surface.

There's going to be, it's just not in yet.

Along with stuff to set your teleport point and all that.

I beamed into my starter planet and got assfucked by a flock of flying birds who spammed me with fireballs that 2 shotted me. This is a good patch

If you choose to take part during stage 1 you should expect bugs, lots of balance changes, you shouldn’t get too attached to your character or universe as we may make changes that require you to start from scratch. You should expect the game to be broken at points as we make sweeping changes.

There's not really much more to say. Maybe those of you mad about the fact that enemies are too hard right now should wait until phase two?

You should go into this expecting poo poo to be broken because this isn't an Activision promotional "beta" that's just the finished game but hey we got another microtransaction out of you to play it two weeks early.

I'm not mad at all :confused: I just thought it was funny that birds took a flaming poo poo on my head 15 seconds into the game.

Some people pretty obviously are and you were the most recent quote, is all.

Question: why would I play this game when I already have Terraria? I mean in what ways does it expand or improve on Terraria? I'm asking because I've been watching this game for ages but haven't seen a good reason to buy it so far.

There's more variety of poo poo.

Every terraria world is going to have surface -> caverns -> jungle -> dungeon -> hallow/corruption -> hard jungle -> jungle temple, roughly in that order.

Starbound just has more stuff, even with just the different races dungeons as well as their cities and outposts.

Can we stop with the "It's a beta" :goonsay: when someone says something the least bit critical of the build? I thought the point of a beta was to actually point out the issues that people are coming across.

There's a difference between pointing something out and going "boy sure am glad they spent all that time on ~balance~ :rolleyes:"

Can you really enslave and experiment on NPC's?

If you're talking about the dude in the tube, that's a decoration you can find in Apex facilities. You can't actually do anything with it though.

The one thing Terraria does better in my opinion is that it's more clear what a weapon's hitbox is.

Delta Altais 2156 II a, X: 100270 Y: -49763701

Immediately to the left of the spawn here there's a Glitch tower with a king inside, underneath his throne there was a chest that contained, for me at least, rocket launcher.

You want the forest planet.

Is there any armor after platinum? I've got a full plat set and L10 planets still oneshot me, but I can't find any upgrades

For some reason Aegisalt at least shows up in the crafting table.
