What plant is that? Some people are reporting that there are a few (carrots, nanomelons and like, one or two others) that are not growing.

Go to an Avian airship and summon it there.

They seemed to have fixed the 3d printer. You can no longer print seeds...

No more sustainable wheat farm for me unless wheat plants drop seeds at a higher rate than before.

Section Z posted:

It's a very good thing Wheat and Feathercrowns can grow on your ship. Several in game days have passed on my starter world and Wheat, Feathercrowns, nor the Pepper looking plants I first found ON that planet have grown at all.

The plants are in tilled soil in direct sunlight, and it's not like it's a BAD planet weather wise either. What little cold that happens in the night is very slow, and never quite reached the point of freezing to death before the sun came up.

It just occurred to me that I will no longer have access to my keytar when the saves reset...

I am filled with sorrow.

Also, I need to have the tabs for this song...

I've noticed that sometimes it seems like if you leave a planet with partially grown crops, they'll be fresh ungrown plantings when you return. I need to test this more thoroughly.

Fall damage is weird, it seems to be tied to sudden changes in momentum rather than any kind of impact. If you fall far enough and double jump or activate the gravity bubble, you still take fall damage.

Nastyman posted:

Not always, I've taken fall damage in midair by using it while still several screens away from the ground after jumping from an asteroid.

In addition, however, expand the function of the 3D Printer: allow the player to scan in dirt, stone, and so on. This way the player still only needs one 'sample' of a given material variant, and can then (ideally at a minimal or nonexistent pixel cost, or via 'trading in' generic material), replicate more.
The 3D printer is already present in the game, and already has the infrastructure (both in an immersion sense, and presumably in a programming sense) to act as a catalog of things the player can subsequently duplicate and use.

I'm pretty sure they were never intended to be printable. You get more seeds from farming. You don't need to print them.

If you can find a frog merchant you'll never need torches again. They sell oil lanterns for 15 pixels to go with their 10 pixel bombs.

Unbound posted:

Thanks! Looks like I need a few more pixels now. How long until I can get some guns? The sword and board thing is really cool, but now I want firepower.

Bo Jackson posted:

Just played for awhile with some friends, and at some point my buddy spawned a level 20 robot boss thing that we could barely scrape and could kill us instantly. Luckily, he had the bright idea to surround the robot with dirt, allowing us to poke at it with our tridents without even being touched (apparently dirt is his only weakness). Feels kind of bad loving with the game like that, though.

Overdrift posted:

One solution to make settlement building more appealing would be to restrict NPC spawning to planetside, and maybe shift some essential components to their shop, or make them some crucial part of the tech tree. If they also included a requirement to feed and keep them protected, perhaps with mercenary NPCs, it would make base building a lot more interesting.

Varinn posted:

I actually preferred the idea of keeping all items of the same type (fine sand, dry dirt, dirt, sand, stone) in a separate single category for each one, and as you find colors it unlocks them to be used, while keeping the overall count a shared number.

Geomancing posted:

Very, very much so. Avians and humans get along really well, talking to Avians as one yourself has different dialogue than as any other race, item descriptions are race-specific, it's great. For example, in an Avian tomb, a Human will see a rabbit-shaped sarcophagus and say 'Oh look, a bunny, how cute!' and an Avian will say 'This is the tomb of a criminal or heretic. It signifies that even in the afterlife, the dead will never fly.'

Onean posted:

They give you plenty of warning before attacking you though.

Section Z posted:

Again, I'm of this mindset. Don't build a log cabin out of planks, you might need all the unrefined wood to make a single one way trip! And that might be all the trees you find!

Zoe posted:

Is there some reason everyone is using wood for fuel instead of coal?

Granted I haven't gotten all the way through the tech tree yet, but I don't have much else to do with coal yet, and wood seems far more versatile and therefore worthy of hoarding.

They also have some different food tolerances, though I'm not sure if that's implemented yet. I.E., only humans can properly handle chiles, only florans can eat oculemons, coralcreep for hylotl, etc.

Umberger posted:

I think they're keeping it incredibly simple just to keep everything mod-friendly ranging from "hey I want the matter manipulator to be a little more effective" to "I'm going to completely revamp this game and turn it into Dark Souls". Depending on the complexity of the tools, they'd then have to release a user friendly version with documentation, tutorials, etc. It might not be a bad thing that it's all text files at this point.

Disclaimer: I was also playing in a boring, no spreadsheets let's check out these nearby T1-3 worlds first just to be safe fashion.

The Meat Dimension posted:

Dumb question, is there anything more to interplanetary travel then filling your starship up with coal and entering co-ordinates? Do you have to fully fill up the tank?

Roland Jones posted:

Yeah, if you're looking for pacifists, it's the Hylotl you want. The Florans are downright villainous.

DelphiAegis posted:

So it's more accurate to call them Omnivores. Basically they're Predators, but more adorable.

Lemon King posted:

Ohgod, starting areas can be scary now with big creatures.

Aurain posted:

God, I hope there's more coal on the neighbouring planet to my starter to leave the system.
I only found 57 on a full lap of my starter.
This wood change is pretty awful.

MoonwalkInvincible posted:

I'm surprised so many people were using wood to fuel their ship. It's both the more rare and more valuable resource (unless you just like to scour forest planets you're never going to return to and ruin its aesthetics, I guess)

nerdz posted:

This is what you're doing "wrong". I say wrong because as of now, underground is way too barren to be worth it besides minerals. I really wish they gave us more reasons to go underground. You probably worked way harder than me, who spent 30 minutes running across the surface of 4 small planets and getting easy drops and merchants. Currently the game rewards too much this kind of approach, which I like, but I'd really like if the "really good stuff" was better hidden (or better yet, even better than the good stuff we get at the surface).

MoonwalkInvincible posted:

gently caress birds, man.

The moment I got into the airship on the co-ordinates someone gave me, birds immediately murdered almost all of the crew on the top deck, including the quartermaster. I don't think I could have saved him even if I'd dashed up there as quickly as possible.

All I want is to buy a loving gun, and maybe some blueprints. Does anyone else have co-ordinates for a pirate ship? Alpha or Beta, either works just as well.

e: On the bright side, one of the pirates apparently dropped a 172 dps lightning axe.

Genocyber posted:

Yeah it seems now that random loot is pretty garbage. I could either use my crafted level 1 weapon with 20 dps or this lovely sword from a miniboss that has 10 dps.

MoonwalkInvincible posted:

I'm not positive but I think that might be a descriptor for its appearance rather than the quality. Everything I've found in any sector that wasn't "crappyweapon" (or whatever the rusted ones are called) was noted as tier2. Some were poo poo by tier 1 standards and one of them is easily one-shotting everything that isn't a boss (and is fast).

Funkysauce posted:

I think we're (me, my wife and my friend) playing the game wrong. We've sat on the starter planet and have built a 3 story house. We keep decking it out and haven't bothered to go elsewhere yet. We're so attached to our nice house and ample supplies of basic goods. We've even got a decent farm going.

It's like why roam when you can get it at home! Though I'm thinking the only way to get better crap is to travel. I will set off alone and see what can be returned to our nice wood and packed dirt mansion. We decided to play blind so we didn't know we can use some of our 150 coal to fuel the ship. Oh well, lesson learned.

If you want to just hard-edit the files instead of making it a mod, change C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\assets\recipes\starter\plain\torch.recipe, line 4, "coalore" to "tar".

There's a head accessory slot though, could just make it a headlamp band. that works in conjunction with your armored helmet. Or maybe that's a neck slot? Only thing I've found so far for that slot was a sort of neckerchief.

Chef Spawner and Shroom Chest. I'm guessing the blueprints just haven't been implemented yet?
