Any way to compare shields? I've got a pretty weird one from a rare big monster in a planet where I shouldn't be there yet because of it's threat level, and managed to cheese it because it for some reason didn't jump over a two blocks tall ledge.

I actually kind of liked the armor penetration thing, not for what it actually is, but as some sort of weapon level. Of course that gets thrown out of the window with hammers, but eh.

Section Z posted:Came across my first base on that second world. God drat it's a good thing I crafted that Basic shield (thanks to there being like, 5 times more iron on this ball of snow and slush than my forest world), though threat 1 + Current Snow Gear protective power means the shots that slipped by didn't oneshot me, just hurt. Shields really trivialize a lot of things, and I'm really glad I got an apparoximately level 10 one from a rare monster instead of another weapon now, paired with a level 10 pistol it made te Penguins a breeze, plus a red stimpack just in case. I wonder how would it have fared against them before they got nerfed.

Evil Fluffy posted:And do enemies ever drop guns or is it just certain races? The only good way to determine how good a shield is right now is remembering where you got it and note where it stops being useful. Also the only enemy so far that drops guns are miniboss mobs and I think some NPCs. Varinn posted:For instance, I totally agree with the lack of biome diversity. Once you get past the aesthetics, of which there are a ton of rad ones, MECHANICALLY they all function pretty much the same. There needs to be more biome specific, or even planet-type specific, environmental features, even maybe wildly different styles of terrain generation. Also nice title.

It's not like you can't instead explore new planets for the sake of exploration, only falling back to precharted worlds when you really need certain tech or ore and no world you explore has it and you need it now.

Icedude posted:For the changeable beam-down points, it would be nice if it was just using some iron to craft a pad that looks identical to the beam-down pad on the ship, but can be placed and picked up. Hitting E over the pad first time after you place it would give you a little text box to set the name of the pad, and any other time after the name is set it beams you back to the ship. Then, once you try to beam down to the planet again, it pops up a list of pads showing all their different names, along with the default beam-down point.

Spectral Werewolf posted:On the topic of 3D scanning, I was first under the impression that the scan would destroy an object and pay out pixels in return. It made sense to me that it was breaking an object down to its molecular/pixel level and I could supply pixels to have it rebuild. I thought it was going to be the primary way to cash in all those gold statues from my tomb raiding. That would be ideal and would finally make something useful out all those lovely weapon drops that keep clogging my chests.

The enemy AI really does glitch out in the weirdest way, now I've found a random miniboss that wouldn't move at all despite being on a perfectly flat surface and me right next hacking away at it. The only weird part being that we were in the area of a technopyramid whose right side somehow ended jutting out of the ground and considerably into the air.

Floran dialog includes lines like "you know what you did" and "Floran know the truth". There's something sinister at work here. A friend of mine suggested that the Hylotl actually engineered the planet-eating Tentacle Beasts as a bio-weapon, like the one that destroyed Earth, thus making them a scourge to the entire galaxy. But I don't know if there's actually anything in the texts to support this.

Voltin Bolt posted:I think I'm gonna make the TV helmet craftable out of one of those Apex ceiling monitors, not sure what sort of stats it should have though. Maybe as a tier 1 armor? I think those monitors are pretty easy to find, anyway. The general idea behind their items is that you can make them out of random crap you find rather than using a bunch of ore and stuff, but it means you have to be good at finding and salvaging potentially useful stuff. That would work if you have alternative armor pieces for each tier, so to not be so dependent on your luck finding so and so item. Ore works because you can always expect to find some.
