Welp, had my first crash. I think the cause was an UAC prompt (win7) for another program I started and that caused Starbound renderer to flip out.

Holy poo poo, Florans with laser rifles on a lvl 1 world :stare:

That's a bit overkill. But their prison is awesome. :v:

Wait, what are humans doing as guards in a Floran Prison? :tinfoil:

Just picked this game up. It's pretty interesting so far. Feels like there's a lot more to discover than Terraria.

Is there any way to talk to NPCs? The only interaction option I've found so far is murder. Make no mistake, it's worked out pretty well so far, but it seems like there should be a diplomacy option.

Press E.

What's the best way to get gold ore?

I've had success with desert planets and mining through fine sand/gravel.

Florans are the best. :allears:

Also they seem to be connected with Earth's fate. Floran NPCs mention someone called Greenfinger. I found his note in a USCM base:

Inspecting one of the displays showed this:

I actually liked the weapon variety in Terraria. Swords, flails, aimable spears, guns, explosives, shitloads of spells. Only bummer was that melee was kinda useless later on. In Starbound melee is the main thing right now so it's pretty boring. Maybe it's just because of the "caveman tier", but devs should remember that the beginning of the game must be as fun as possible, otherwise people will not play it "to get to the fun bits".

Yeah, anyone who hates spelunking hates fun. You can find huge fuckoff caverns several screens in size, large mineral veins and +4 level monsters leaping out of the darkness to eat your face off.

Drills were very annoying in Terraria because:
1) They obscured mined tiles and it was super easy to lose track what's mined and what not.
2) Their sound was super obnoxious.

Hope they'll be better here.

Florans confirmed the best race.

Welp, my first real crash - during a save at the bottom of a giant planet.

I also wish guns just used ammo. There could be different ammo types with different effects.

Next step; you need to make them drop green or purple moss clumps on death.

edit: or have a black wisp-like form with white eyes and white light emanate from the corpse as it's falling apart.

They drop Gold Pine Resin! :science:
