A floran prison on a magma planet is pretty hardcore. Seems ridiculous at first, but actually makes a lot of sense-where would the prisoners have to go if they escaped?

So I just found this sweet legendary 2-handed sword. It shoots out three clouds each time it swings which each do I think around half its base damage, but it doesn't have any sort of symbol for that effect like fire/poison/whatever do. Is this something that's in progress, or are there just supposed to be really special items with undisplayed effects?

Anyone know coordinates of a planet with an avian settlement near the beam-down spot?

I just finished taking apart an entire large sewer dungeon dungeon, foreground and background, and putting it into my pack because I wanted the blocks. Especially the pipes. Took over 6 hours. Gonna have to find a use for these, now.

I already mined all the poop and threw it away, there were only 248 blocks. I kinda wanna make some sort of underground chamber with pipes snaking all around a central hub, but I don't know which planet to 100% commit to making my home on. This one with an avian village is cute, but it's also T1 so I won't get any good ores mining this out.

So, hold on a minute. Is there really currently no way to drop/place just one of the items in a stack? I can't find out how but that doesn't seem possible.

That just splits a stack in two.

I remember someone mentioned it, but I'm having trouble finding it now, but there is a way to take your world files, save them, then shove them back in the right folder to get back to your world, right? Because that sounds like exactly what I want to do even if it means no new stuff on my home planet.

The human mech should, instead of the guns it has now, use whatever guns you have in L+R. That way it would be worth using(use 2 two-handers at once!)

Anime Schoolgirl posted:You also have a delay before being able to fire ranged weapons after switching to them, and it's equal to (1/rate of fire) * 2 seconds, so it can take up to over 6 seconds after switching your weapon before you can fire a shot. If the delay wasn't there, ranged weapons would be somewhat useful. As they are in the base game, they're plainly poo poo.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:And with energy dash/bubble boost, the time to close in melee / dodge attacks is far, far less than over 6 seconds with an ideal ranged weapon, unless you are not adept at controlling your character. And I know I've ran across NPCs that have wrecked me in basically a few seconds while wearing t10 armor, so I dunno what to tell you.

Literally Kermit posted:I think it should be clearer that the more involved recipes bestow benefits beyond health regeneration (and better health regeneration than bandages). It also blew my mind that I could cook cooked meat again to make meat chunks. Also oh my lord building in this game feels so much better than any other minecraft-like. You have soooo much reach, can break multiple things at once or just one, and most importantly compared to terraria putting/removing poo poo in the background is sososo much easier. It just handles so nicely, normally I'm put off building big things in these games but I know I'm gonna do stupid-big megabuilds.

That sounds more like dungeons/villages on previously generated planets have been removed. I know I've run across one dungeon already.

At this point I'm really starting to wish building blocks could be made via pixel printer. I don't understand how it'd unbalance anything to let me make soft brick blocks en masse. Makes big builds a huge hassle right now.

No, it's completely worthless. Unless you specifically build tunnels for it on your home, I guess, but why not build normal tunnels?

The worst thing about vines isn't what tool you use, it's that if you don't cut them from exactly the top, there'll be a bit left and you won't be able to break the blocks it's attached to. With trees, you don't need to cut the exact bottom segment for it all to fall-it should work the same with vines, cutting them anywhere making the whole vine fall so you don't have to pillar up to the just-barely out of reach start of the vine to cut it all down and get at that ore in the blocks it's growing from.

J.A.B.C. posted:Just got the game, started my way through it, and so far I have to say one of the most glaring things I've noticed is a lack of progress. There are ten tiers of gear, and you're on the first one. I'd suggest crafting every interesting looking tool and gadget you haven't made yet, and probably googling for more detailed info on progression since it's not very clear right now, but be assured, there's more stuff for you to get. And be sure to make and use starmaps.

The flashlight is already obsolete once you get what, 20 wood, 5 iron, and a few hundred pixels? That's all it takes to craft the lantern stick now, right? e:nevermind, it requires robotic. Still, I think I've only actually used the flashlight maybe 3 times.

# ¿ Dec 25, 2013 15:21 |

The flashlight is cool, but ultimately bad since torches are cheap and if you put them everywhere, you'll a.) be able to easily see where you've been and thus not get lost once you're trying to find your way back up which is not really worth giving up for atmosphere, and b.) have an easier time finding ores as they illuminate them through rock, so you don't need to scan over everything with your mouse. Plus 2-handers are basically just the best! Torches!

Don't jump up and smack him, dodge from left to right and plink away at him with a lovely bow or gun. Melee's a bad time against him.

They don't give pixels, just useless short-lived buffs sometimes. Hope you enjoy your 30 seconds of glowing.

If you've played Terraria, the amount of stuff currently in Starbound is pretty underwhelming. What makes it interesting right now is its potential+design goals.

Or, alternatively, get all your pixels from using the refinery and don't take them out unless you absolutely need to, thereby storing tens of thousands of pixels in the refinery with absolutely no cost or drawback of any form.
