Tengames posted:The whole "caveman" thing kinda falls flat when you start with a space ship, 3d printer, and a high tech matter manipulator, and you have to use said manipulator to cut down your first tree, and mine the stone for your first pickaxe. if it can do all that, why cant I just freaking use that instead of having to bang rocks together for progress? Holy gently caress. You can! But since it's not a tool MADE for that, it's not the most efficient way. Jesus Christ some of these complaints are bordering on the dense at this point. This is tantamount to crash landing on a planet with pistol and wondering why you'd still need to craft a sledgehammer instead of shooting tiny bullets at a brick wall to bust through. But no one is stopping you from using the slow rear end matter manipulator to Dig and Chop if you so desire.

Found a little installation with 2 roller tank tread droid bots with guns and bubble shields. They dropped a gun. I "scorched earth" them with an arrow.

For those of you who are still noobish, but wish to go to cool places: It's a desert planet, decent wood and coal. Iron on the surface in abundance, and if you head to the left there's a Glitch Merchant and then a cool Glitchy Futuristic Pyramid thingy. Seems big. {fake edit] While I'm poastin'... how the hell do I switch my nav map to Beta Sector? Do I have to accomplish anything first?

I have a 1 handed pistol that does like 20 damage with a good rate of fire. Also found some 1 handed melee.

Got this from the google doc: X:-83274924 Y:25121666 How come when I plug it in in the zoomed out Star map, it just beeps at me when I choose "go". And it doesn't center on anything on it's own?

Machai posted:You don't just type them in and click go, the coordinates only center the map on the target solar system. You then have to click on it like normal and then choose the planet/moon you want. That is why most coordinates also include the planet name. Yes but is the system supposed to be named the same as the planets, more or less? It didn't seem to be. I'll try again in a sec...

Changing too much at once usually has negative ramifications in a testing environment. This already seems to be a very ambitious patch.

So: I have a full set of Copper armor. I have a good 1 handed weapon ( DPS is like 85...) I have a shield. (Nothing special, but it's ok) should I attempt the UFO? Is it easier now? Also: How/when can I pixel-bank? I have like 1200.

Ive got no real complaints about how planets and creatures are handled, but I hope one day, when they have a handle on the game, they maybe expand out a bit... Creatures that hide, or look like plants till you get close. Or greater diversity in size and movement of creatures. Trees on a certain type of planet that somehow fight back as you try to cut them down... poo poo like that...

It is possibly my own dumb-osity, but I seriously CAN NOT find even my STEAM APPS folder on my mac, let alone StarBound, or where I put Music .abc files. Spotlight doesn't bring up anything... Google says Library/Application Support/ but there is nothing related to Steam. Is it hidden or something?

The White Dragon posted:No hidden folders on Mac, but be aware that there are like multiple versions of the Library folder. There's your System library that you can access from the Mac HD, and then there's a specific User library that you can access from your HD/Users/[username]/ folder. I think steamapps appears in the User one, but check both just in case. It's in neither, actually. Gonna try what Gibbed said. [ed] Gibbed, that worked!

Evil Mastermind posted:I don't think I'd mind the wipes as much if the early game wasn't such a slog. Using the MM to get basic resources, finding a decent amount of ores, grinding pixels, finding enough coal to get to a new planet...it takes a lot longer than I feel it should. I'd argue it doesn't take as long as it feels to someone doing it multiple times. Remember, you're playing a beta. I know that can be an annoying-to-hear reminder as well as sometimes a little condescending. Fact is though, your average player just does this early game once. You don't want the game to hand you everything on a spoon and be short and challenge-less. That tends to be worse than a little early "slog".

I know the game can load long, but I'm booting up for the first time after quitting/restarting steam and it gets past the Chucklefish Chuckle and then the loading screen and it sits there for like 5 min. I had to force quit (Mac). Any ideas? Is there a way in Steam I can confirm it updated?

Yeah, I just let Starbound run on it's Loading screen for like 5 min and it quits "unexpectedly" on its own. I am not sure where in Steam I can check to see if I'm on the current version? [edit] Ah, on their page: We’re aware there may be issues with a Steam update crashing the Mac build at the moment! It’s an issue with Steam– disable the Steam overlay to fix it in the meantime.

ewe2 posted:starcheat can modify stances. Thanks for the tip. So far I haven't been installing any mods (and don't really want cheats. Was hoping just to find out what file had the line where stances were determined and be able to change it. I'll keep your advice in mind, though. [edit] Beta feedback in its current stage: So far my only possible tiny complaint is that I feel like you get access to Beta sector easily but are likely still soft and fleshy and possibly under-armed. Regular enemies in Beta sector (aggressive animals) are quite challenging.

Snowdens Secret posted:Are you on a Mac? Hit Command-I and expand the Name & Extension part. You have to remove the .txt there. That got it to the right filetype. However I noticed when I go to play the harmonica (the only instrument I have) there are a ton of stock songs in there, but not the 5 or 6 I have in the SONGS folder where they should be. Do I need to do anything else?
