Whoa, +500 posts since I went to bed  Welp, still haven't left my first planet, because I went exploring!  Found a spawner for a doc, and now I have my personal medic vendor. Also, he has a huge loving gun!  Stumbled upon a miniboss, and immediately cheesed him. What? I didn't even had any armor. He dropped a nice spear that sets things on fire.  My world has shroom areas. Also found a couple of shroom chests with blueprints for furniture and a hat.  And then I discovered the best villain hideout ever. That robo spider looked dangerous, so I walked on for now.  Also found some robo houses. Can't wait to harvest all those shiny blocks.  Space life is simple but good! Man, I discovered a lot of stuff just by making a trip across the whole surface of my starter planet. I haven't even spelunked underground that much. Seeing how this game has a ton of different planets full of things, all I can say is

Protip: Shields block lasers They actually seem to block just about everything. I haven't died since I started using a shield. And I died kinda often before, even with a magic weapon in hand. Really hope there'll be better 1H weapons somewhere, but yeah, shields are good! Also, what I thought to be an awesome hideout,   turned out to be a sewer system.  Yeah, I'm mining poop. What of it?

Vib Rib posted:Heads up, huge patch scheduled for a few days from now, will wipe characters.  Performance chat So, I know that the Beta isn't optimized at all, but I have some pretty bad graphic glitches when I want to travel to another planet. Like, using the starmap makes the game suddenly change the zoom(while still having the old value in the options), my screen goes black for a bit during the jump, and all kinds of fun crashes like this  I just wanna hear if there are other Nvidia users here who have the same troubles? I have the newest drivers, and my Steam was also never running in compatibility mode. Creature chat Did anyone see repeated creatures so far? I'm just asking because the amount of diferent species on my starter planet alone is nuts. There are like eight different ones above ground, and four that appear only at night. I already thought that was impressive, but then I went on a long spelunking trip. And well...             And I didn't even cap all of them

I'll take a break until the wipe comes. Don't want to get burned out or see too much before the game even really gets started. Had that with a couple other early access games, and I really don't want to stumble into the same pit with this one. Double gun salute for my space shack. We had good times

I know that shields aren't nearly as good as they used to be(do they even do anything right now?) But I just can't let go of that matching look And since the patch didn't wipe, I can work on making my ship not look like poo poo. STD Bot the explorer  I stumbled upon a deformed monkey thing in a cage. There were some of those purple hooded guys nearby(Glitch I believe?). So I figured I'd be nice and let the poor thing go free. Well, after I opened the door, it punched me in the face for half my health, and a really small amount of poision. Rude! Had to put it down. The hooded guys then yelled at me for killing "Salt Face" before charging. Also   Fittingly, this creepy world had an Apex lab.

I've gone through a couple of Apex obstacle courses, but the chest at the end always had the dash tech. Can you get other techs, or is that a fixed spawn? Also, I finally joined the ranks of not lovely ship havers  Still needs a bit of work, but my teleporter bay is kicking rad.

Mutant Headcrab posted:Its great how the one race that the Florans really like is the one race they can't eat. More random things  While exploring a forest world, I found this campsite. When I followed the tunnel to the right, it led me into some kind of abandoned mine. The place was quite large, and fully lined with wood and platforms. Was full of monsters too. It had a bunch of little camps scattered about, and tons of boxes with some random loot like flares and first aid kits.  Forest worlds also have a good chance to spawn bandit camps. Some of the jerks even carry guns, but I haven't seen them drop one so far.  But if you fight enough of them, you can become a proud owner of this neat hood.  Found this on a desert world. The Apex was rolling around in a wheelchair and attacked me with a zappy gun. The various codex entries that you can find in villages are also pretty funny. I found a series of books in an Avian village, called "The Kluex Delusion" by Rochard Hawkwings. It has five parts, and this particular page made me lmao.

I'm gettin kinda annoyed by how enemies don't seem to drop guns. Just murdered the guards of a huge Avian temple, and prety much all of them had guns. But they only dropped lovely melee weapons that nobody is ever going to use. What happened to all their space guns?!

So, noob question: How do you actually instal mods? I put the content of the Persistent Farmables into the mod directory, but that didn't do anything. Do I need a loader, like with Fallout 3 mods?

Really loving the new version so far! A lot of little bits come together and make for a pretty good experience, despite me starting over again for each of the big patches. Also, this version probably gave me the best start so far. Spawned on a tiny forest planet - found a huge Avian Tomb full of pixels, a few weapon drops, free gold and skeleton birds - dug down to the deep layers of the planet and found frog ruins - grabbed enough ore to advance to the diamond pick - bought a ton of bombs from the frog merchant - steamrolled over the UFO and blasted off to Beta while laughing

More like Starfraud am I right  Seriously, I'll never understand how people can be like that. All the CF statements I've read are perfectly reasonable and I'm not worried at all. I've easily gotten my money's worth just by loving around with the Beta and some mods. Didn't they say that they'll put out some bigger updates when everyone has moved and set up? You know, to make up for the pause that they actually aknowledge and have good reasons for? Well, on the other hand, I learned that I could never be a game developer. Because I would eventually goatse my own forum and tell everyone to get out before I nuke it. Tin Tim fucked around with this message at 23:49 on May 17, 2014 |

Arkanomen posted:The money can be spent how they choose as long as it is spent in good faith towards the development of the game. The backer money wasn't given to Chucklefish for Chucklefish, it was given to develop starbound. Spending time and money on other projects with that small a team takes away resources from a lagging project. I am not ignorant to multi-tasking and investing profit into the business but for the amount given and produced work, it doesn't add up. I don't think this is how kickstarter works at all, bud.

Section Z posted:Well, I'd assume the reason they'd keep generic 'can't mine X without Y pickaxe' would because Terraria and whatever other digging games do it, and calling it "a sense of progression" when you are screaming at your screen because you've spent the last two hours walking past piles of iron and whatever amounts of silver and gold because you just can't find those first scraps of copper that are "So easy to get you guys." While walking past any platinum or diamonds you'd normally dig up to save for making a shiny new pickaxe later, because you are not allowed to dig plat without gold, and no diamond without plat.

Devour or Fire posted:Congrats starbound sycophants on reaching $30 dollars spent on redtext. This is the kind of grassroots activism we need to do reclaim this thread from the obsessive weirdos from reddit/4chan. On the retarded mineral gating, it's retarded and would probably kill the game for me. Like, all my plays of this game have consisted of rounding my starting planet to get my basic poo poo and some stash for later going, so that I could then gently caress around and have fun. I don't want to scour the universe for another piece of copper so that I then can gather all the other ores that I bypassed earlier. I never understood this stupid arbitrary grind "gameplay" that some sandbox games apparently made the standard. I never played minecraft, and picked up Terraria on a whim when it was like 2 bux. It was literally the first sandbox/crafting/whatever game I ever played. The mineral grind got on my nerves, but at least the game is properly balanced so it wasn't too bad. Then I learned that I can do it all over again once you get to hardmode, and never touched the game again. I just wanna have fun and gently caress around, which I can do with the current mineral system in the stable build.
