Caveman tier would make more sense to me if your ship wasn't available/functioning at the start. Maybe get it back/repair it at the end of the tutorial quest line?

Of course. But that's why I mentioned it. Maybe it can be fixed in a patch to help people down the road.

The problem with this is that due to the random nature of the game, you could end up on a planet with few resources at first and decide that it would be better to try another one nearby. If the ship is busted, you can't explore, unless the fix is really easy to overcome, which is the reasoning for making it simply be out of fuel, requiring you to go find coal.

Make it busted but flying, maybe? No tech or 3d printer, teleport works unpredictably, uses more fuel than it should...

Alternatively, tutorial planet has the guaranteed necessary biomes and materials to finish the quest line.

So, killed penguin boss, made the metal station, got steel weapons and bow, gold pickaxe - in silver/winter gear. Currently loving around in beta quadrant. What's my next step, titanium? Or do I need gold armor first? Platinum Pickaxe or can I skip?

Something I didn't see in the OP, does this game have only small multiplayer servers in the sense of Terraria or is there a larger server for people to merrily gently caress about in? It felt vaguely pointless playing single-player Terraria, for some reason

Seems there's no player limit on starbound MP, or rather whatever the server can handle.

I wish they'd make placing a single tile the default option and 2x2 the SHIFT option.

I'd love the shift modifier to be an on/off toggle rather than keep-pressed.

I just got this game, and it looks pretty cool, but oh dear god I desperately need the matter manipulator to stop being such a huge piece of poo poo when it comes to resource extraction. Everything takes loving forever! What's the absolute quickest way I can bootstrap myself up to like an iron pick and axe?

You can bootstrap to a stone pickaxe pretty much immediately.

There WILL probably have to be another character wipe for the weapons damage fix. Massive apologies!

Don't grow attached, beta phase 1, etc. etc. No ETA.
