FPzero posted:I just hope that theres eventually a better indication that we should build tools. I mean, it's completely my fault for not seeing the Stone Pickaxe in the crafting list, but I seriously thought that my first pick was going to be the copper one and spent over an hour digging with the Matter Manipulator before realizing the stone one existed. Again, completely my fault but the tutorial never mentions anything and just sort of dumps you off with the beacon boss quest. Well, I mean, it is day two of the "unstable, expect poo poo to blow up frequently" beta stage.  Just, IMO, phrase things that are deficiencies of the tutorial as observations, not complaints. Not until the ostensibly "stable" beta phase, anyways.

Genocyber posted:I really wish I didn't have to do the tutorial bullshit every time I start a new character. I don't mean the quests, I mean grinding for cobblestone and wood to get the basic tools and enough plant matter for armor and bandages. Takes a good 30 minutes at least. If they're in the same universe, can't you just leave them a care package crate from another character?

FPzero posted:Of course. But that's why I mentioned it. Maybe it can be fixed in a patch to help people down the road. Yeah, that wasn't directed at you, per se, and more just to the general "you".  I imagine the team knows there's deficiencies in the tutorial and intro questline, but they were fixing things with the game until the very second they said "okay, seriously, just push it now, we'll patch in a few hours".

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? You can! Very slowly. A cobbled-together pickaxe is going to dig things faster than a swiss army knife, and that's basically what the MM is. Edit: And Tiy basically said as much that later, unimplemented tech tiers will have direct upgrades to the Matter Manipulator.

Holy Cheese posted:Anyone else get framerate problems? I set all of the .exe to run as admin and that seems to have helped but, seems odd to have such a problem with a 2d game. Not too worried as obviously this is beta so things will change. There's apparently an OpenGL-based executable which may help. Otherwise, yeah, beta non-optimization.

Stew Man Chew posted:What's the goal behind building the beacon / summoning aliens anyway? Do you continue to progress to a Bigger Beacon? I've seen a lot of people bitching about it but not anyone talking about what then happens. When you kill it, it drops the material needed for the next level of anvil, which you can use to build the thing that lets you get to the Beta sector. Mustang posted:What kind of equipment should you have to face the UFO? I'm in silver armor but lvl 6+ stuff can still gently caress me up pretty quick. I haven't managed to find any good weapons at all either, they're all garbage. Stuck using a poopsword that poisons people. I had full racial Iron armor + a 10 ArPen sniper from that planet that's in the gdoc.

A.C. posted:This is definitely a good fix to use, though I don't know if it will affect visiting planet seeds - it's worth nothing though that platinum is not necessary to progress, the progression path goes Steel -> Titanium -> Durasteel. Platinum enables a tier of weapons and armor, which in all honesty are still too weak to beat the third boss with, so you're probably going to want to cheese him anyway, and if you're cheesing him your weapons/armor don't matter. So is Durasteel a thing that you can do in tier 3, or do you have to finish it first?

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Yeah. That's something pretty unintuitive and very poorly telegraphed to the player. I'd like using something like E / middlemouse to instantly use the item. I tried it instinctively because that's an easy way to use items from your inventory in Terraria, but yeah, E/MB3 when hovering over an item in the inventory to use/equip it would be nice.

Rather Dashing posted:So what kind of kit should I have to realistically take on the boss? I summoned him for the first time with Scavenger armour and the axe that you can craft. I wasn't expecting to win this time around but the hits I did land didn't even make a dent in its health and two hits from it killed me. I can't see any more weapons to craft on the anvil, despite having a fair bit of silver and some gold. Go to the threat level 10 planet in the gdoc that has avian pirates and buy a bitchin' sniper rifle. That + the tier 1 racial armor (or the snow infantry armor) should be enough, and especially if you have the Dash tech.

Motherfucker posted:The sheer amount of flavor text they've already added is pretty astronomical, to add a whole bunch of inter-player interaction rules like that would be clunky and difficult at best. Would it, though? It just seems like it'd be a "if $RACE is the authority on $INVESTIGATED_ITEM and race other than $RACE inspects it and a $RACE is within a half-screen, automatically act as if $RACE inspected it (the closest member if multiple are present". Then again, anything sounds easy in arbitrary pseudocode, so what do I know.

Motherfucker posted:Yeah in theory, now multiply that over the literal thousands of existing items all of which have variable and unique meanings to each character and you start realizing the actual scope of the project. It's already pretty amazing that the majority of everything has eight separate inspection descriptions. Oh yeah, I get that it would be fairly time-consuming, just that the hooks for it should be fairly simple to implement. It'd be the "race X is authoritative for items 1-200, race Y is authoritative for items 201-400, etc." that would be the annoying part. I get that.
